Hitachi breakthrough: 4TB disks by 2011
Posted on November 14, 2008 in Xp pro
When Hitachi -- the first disk manufacturer to go perpendicular and subsequently break the 1TB consumer disk barrier -- speaks about advances in hard disk technology, you'd be wise to listen. Today they're touting the world's smallest read-head technology for HDDs. The bold claim? 4TB desktop (3.5-inch) and 1TB laptop (2.5-inch) drives within the next 4 years. The new recording heads are more than 2x smaller than existing gear or about 2,000 times smaller than a human hair. Hmmm, Samsung may have to update their SSD vs. HDD graph after this, eh? Researchers at Hitachi have successfully reduced existing recording heads by more than a factor of two to achieve new heads in the 30-50 nanometer (nm) range, which is up to 2,000 times smaller than the width of an average human hair (approx. 70-100 microns). Called current perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistive1 (CPP-GMR) heads, Hitachi’s new technology is expected to be implemented in shipping products in 2009 and reach its full potential in 2011. Hitachi will present these achievements at the 8th Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Conference (PMRC 2007) to be held October 15-17, 2007 at the Tokyo International Forum in Japan. "Hitachi continues to invest in deep research for the advancement of hard disk drives as we believe there is no other technology capable of providing the hard drive’s high-capacity, low-cost value for the foreseeable future,” said Hiroaki Odawara, Research Director, Storage Technology Research Center, Central Research Laboratory, Hitachi, Ltd. “This is an achievement for consumers as much as it is for Hitachi. It allows Hitachi to fuel the growth of the ‘Terabyte Era’ of storage, which we started, and gives consumers virtually limitless ability for storing their digital content." Hitachi believes CPP-GMR heads will enable hard disk drive (HDD) recording densities of 500 gigabits per square inch (Gb/in2) to one terabit per square inch (Tb/in2), a quadrupling of today’s highest areal densities. Earlier this year, Hitachi GST delivered the industry’s first one-terabyte hard drive at148 Gb/in2; the company’s highest areal density shipping in products today is in the 200 Gb/in2 range. These products use existing head technology, called TMR2 (tunnel-magnetoresistive) heads. The recording head and media are the two key technologies controlling the miniaturization evolution and the exponential capacity growth of the HDD Allusion: hitachigst.com buy software cheap oem software

How To: turn your Mac mini into a Media Center PC
Posted on September 01, 2008 in Buy windows xp professional
Last week at CES Microsoft made a big to-do about their Media Center flavor of Windows XP. Of course, the big news was that this cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, newfangled piece of kit is still inevitably going to give you the Blue Screen of Death at some point. Bill Gates was not amused. Those of you out there who have been using Apple's new OS X operating system, however, know just how reliable it is, and of course it's mostly immune to the security lapses so prevalent in MS products. Well, today Apple introduced their first foray into real budget computing, the Mac mini. While the basic unit goes for $499, to create the super-sweet Media PC knockoff I'm proposing, you're going to want to add some extras. Total cost of the base unit will be $1002 under Apple's current scheme. First let's look at the features from Microsoft's offering. You can review the full set here. So here's our basic feature set: Share and store photos Share and store your music Play stuff like CD's and DVD's Listen to online radio (really? wow MS thanks!) Play games Look up movies Edit and arrange your movies, music, and photos Watch Windows Dancers move to your music (seriously, this is a feature) And of course, act as a DRM-crippled PVR for viewing tv and movies according to MS's whim Well, aside from proprietary technologies like DirectX, ActiveX, Windows Media Player 10, and crippling spyware, most of the features available on Media Center PC's from MS can easily be replicated on OS X. So using the following base system I'll show you how to build a Mac-based entertainment center! First you'll want to custom-configure a Mac mini. Yeah, you could do this with other Macs, but the mini has a very nice form factor for a living room component. OK, buying a Mac mini with 1.42 GHz CPU, 80 GB HD, 512 MB RAM, SuperDrive (for burning DVD's), Airport Extreme (802.11g WiFi), and Bluetooth, AND the wireless keyboard and mouse will set you back the aforementioned $1002. If you want to stream music into other rooms, buy an Airport Express for each room! This also doubles as a wireless printer connection and WiFi access extension point. Now, you'll of course be using Apple's very integrated and nice iLife '05 suite, which comes FREE with the Mac mini. That pretty much covers all those Picture, Music, Movies needs. Seriously, we live by the stuff at home. If you really want to make things easy to share, I suggest going ahead with the optional dot Mac service. It's another $100 a year, but it includes a lot of cool stuff, and is integrated with all the iLife apps. It will increase in usefulness in the future, as with Apple's next OS, Tiger, other app developers will be able to easily connect to your .mac services... You'll see what I mean in a few months, trust me. Anyway, while you're shopping at Apple, I highly recommend getting the pro version of QuickTime, which enables you to do some pretty cool stuff. I'll explain more in a later post. No Apple computer would be complete without an iPod, and with all those choices and price points, well, it just makes sense to get one. The iPod allows you to of course play all your music. The iPod photo allows you to store and share your photos on the road. You'll find there are other hidden goodies in the iPod, including the ability to download podcasts, RSS feeds, and more. I'd suggest you check out pod2go, an invaluable tool for your iPod... If you want to video chat with fellow Mac users (and there will be plenty as people snap up the Mac mini), get an iSight, pretty much the coolest webcam you'll ever see. Now, an advantage to getting the iSight is the ability to also scan the UPC barcodes of your movies, music, and games, and put them in a really cool and visually pleasing database. This adds another $40, but the software from Delicious Monster, called Delicious Library, can't be beat. It really is very cool and useful. All right, so you've got a tricked-out Mac mini, wireless keyboard and mouse, some great software, however many Airport Expresses you need, and an iSight. Total cost so far should be around $1500. This will vary depending on the number of Express's you buy, and what flavor of iPod you choose. But wait! There's more! If you want to use your mac as a personal video recorder and just plain DVD player, you'll need some more goodies. Also, how are you going to see all this stuff? The mini is clearly designed for people who have a monitor lying around. Who doesn't have a cheapo CRT sitting in the closet collecting dust? And while you can get an optional RCA/S-Video output dongle from Apple, which allows you to plug in to almost any TV, I recommend instead you find an HDTV with DVI input. Wal Mart sells several decent models. You could, for maximum craziness, buy a projector. But that's just crass, isn't it? To enable PVR capabilities, there are several options. One of the most powerful is a digital cable box from El Gato. They also have basic analog ones, ranging in price from $149 to $349 for the digital cable version... At this point you might worry about drive space. Even 80 GB seems anemic when you start recording all those nifty cartoons and whatnot on the TV. So go pick up a Firewire hub (around $40) and as many external hard drives as you can. You can easily chain these together for literally terabytes (meaning HOURS) of recording time. And no living room system would be complete without a remote. Griffin Technologies makes a very cool RF one, which works through walls! There are other remotes out there from Keyspan, for instance. Also, there's a neat piece of software called Salling Clicker that allows you to use your Bluetooth cell phone or PDA as a remote... It's a very cool thing. If you get really picky, there are tons of speakers, USB devices, and other things to junk up your living room. Apple has clearly thought about this, and offer a wide range of geegaws to complement you new mac. One last step. If you're going to make this super-easy, just like Microsoft likes to do, you're going to want to simplify ... When you set up your mac, you can create an additional account for general usage, and enable something known as Simple Finder. This makes certain apps really big buttons and the general OS easier to access from across the room. I've only hinted at the power of this system. Poke around Griffin's site, Apple's site, and check out all the Apple-related sites out there for even more tips and tricks. I think you'll find, pound-for-pound, that you'll get more enjoyment out of a mac-based "digital hub" than a PC-based one. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft has some compelling products and services out there (like those nifty dancers). But OS X, and the next version, Tiger, is really giving them a run for the money. By the way, the total cost for all this? Around $3000, again depending on your options. Many of the better MS-based Media Centers I looked at (like Alienware) were around $1,500-- JUST FOR THE PC! Never mind a big screen, RF remote, or iPod. In closing, I'd like to point out I don't work for Apple. I don't own a Mac mini (yet), but neither does anyone else. What I've put together is a system that many others are configuring right now. As time goes by we'll probably see all these things bundled, and packaged, and sold. If I were to do it myself, I'd call it a SolutionSphere. That is my term for this digital ecosystem where everything "just works" and it's fairly easy to move your content around (and create your own content). Motorola will be introducing a cell phone with a mini version of iTunes later this year. You'll be able to move music from your mac to your cell phone very easily. See how the ecosystem works? Stay tuned for more ways to extend the capabilities of this powerful system, and an illustrated guide! From the people who brought you the case from a milk jug buy software cheap oem software
LaCie Announces Two Terabyte External Drive
Posted on April 24, 2008 in Adobe photoshop serial number
Digital Photography and imaging can result in the need for gazillions of storage space. Well, maybe not quite that much, but how does two terabytes sound? Lacie, the maker of reliable, high-quality external hard drives unveiled its Ethernet Big Disk back in January with capacities of 640 gigabytes or one terabyte. Now they are doubling this upper limit with the debut of a new two terabyte Ethernet Big Disk. Shipping at a price of $1,099, the 2TB Big Disk sells at a premium given that MSRP pricing for the 1TB model was $499 (meaning you could expect to get two terabytes for a little under $1000). Still, if you need the capacity in a single unit - for space reasons, for example - pricing looks to be pretty competitive to other existing 2TB network-attached storage devices. The LaCie 2TB Big Disk is available for preorder immediately, with shipping expected in mid-June.

Yahoo starts digital time capsule
Posted on March 26, 2008 in Adobe photoshop activation
Oddly, the term now reopening the "capsule" is not that far away: A childhood photograph of a man with a mother he hasn't spoken with in 20 years, an Argentinean's proclamation of his love for "The Simpsons" and a tune from the Boston punk band Darkbuster are among the early submissions to Yahoo Inc.'s digital time capsule. The company is accepting words, pictures, videos, sounds and drawings from anyone around the world. It plans to seal about 5 terabytes of data — equivalent to the text of roughly 5 million books — until the company's 25th anniversary in 2020. "What we're basically trying to do is create a shared digital mosaic of our time by allowing users to define what's important to them," said Bill Gannon, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company's editorial director. "We've seen prayers, haiku, poems, a lot of digital photographs and video is starting to come in." Once sealed, the data will be given to the Smithsonian Institution's Folkways Recordings project, with backup copies kept by Yahoo and others. It won't be publicly available until 2020. The project, however, won't try to preserve today's computers and software to read that data. Gannon said he's counting on tomorrow's software being able to convert today's document formats should any change over the next 14 years.
