This image appears (at least to some people, I personally do not) on the site of hardware and Microsoft is, to say the least, disturbing. For the September 9 Microsoft has surprised us with a new mouse / mouse that is neither optical or laser.
There is ferment in the market for memories SSD, the forms of data storage solid state that already equipped all iPods (except Classic), iPhone and the MacBook Air. Toshiba, Apple’s historical supplier, announced new modules from 32Gb, consisting of 8 from 4Gb chips that communicate with each other by a new type of connection to high-efficiency: prices are still high (30% more than the current models) But the high volumes of Apple could quickly get quotes.
Micron, another well-known producer of semiconductors, is more oriented toward hard drives are based on solid memories: the past days is the announcement of discs NAND SLC performance really high. We talk about speed in 250Mb/sec, both in reading and in writing, cuts between 16Gb and 128Gb. As in the previous case, here too the greater obstacle is the price: discs with solid technology SLC cost over 50% more models with technology MLC, as the disc which already equips the MacBook Air.
The NAND technology, which now all see as the future of, is still very young and its evolution in constant acceleration: in many will see yet another application of the famous Moore’s Law, or at least his daughter.
Continue the cycle of software updates dedicated to printer drivers and this time it is up to Lexmark,. The update has a “weight” of 71 MB and is available at Software Update only if the printer is attached and turned on, otherwise you can download it manually on the page dedicated site Support Apple.
As always, the update is strongly recommended for all users. The system requirements are Mac OS X 10.5.3 and later.
Filed the launch of 3G iPhone, Cupertino not remain with its hands and, according to the indiscretions circulating in these hours, starebbero preparing to give a substantial cooled to the historical family jewels, namely the range of laptops.
By the end of the summer, in fact, expects the restyling of all models, albeit with a new variable rate for each of the 3, depending on the age of the project.
Vediamoli then one by one, to clarify what we expect.
Buffalo Technology expands its range of products in storage with a new ultra compact solution dedicated to the professional market, Mini Station USB.
Available in 160 GB (HDS-PH160U2) and 320 GB (HDS-PH320U2) the new solution Buffalo is characterized by high levels of safety thanks to the standard cryptographic ALES 128-bit, the mini station Pro is the ideal solution for professionals always in motion seeking portability and data security.
mini station Pro is supplied with 2-year limited warranty and is available immediately with prices of sale to the public advised to 104.99 euros (160 GB) and 189.99 Euro (320 GB).
In the gallery is visible My Book Mirror Edition, a system of storage units with mirrored double 2TB.
Thanks to data protection based on RAID, the backup software automatically and the possibility of repair by the user, this product to become an automatic backup perfect for your irreplaceable data, those that normally we should never lose.
The interface used by the system has USB 2, a little ‘little for so much space (albeit niche, one FireWire 400 or 800 was certainly appreciated); second site producer, the space is quantified as 571,400 digital photos, 500,000 MP3 or 50,000 CDs, 150 hours of DV video, 880 hours of DVD-quality video and up to 240 HD video (although, as you rightly so, there is a forbita legend that explains what calculations is arrived at these figures).
For all lovers of movies in high definition, which often require capacious blue-ray to be sold, comes good news on the front of compatibility. We all know the difference between NTSC and PAL or, in any case, we know that the first standard is not functional on our equipment.
Bluraymods.com however, took a Panasonic DMP-BD30 and has trasformanto player in the first region-free not only for DVDs, but also for the Blu-ray. This means having the ability to play all six regions of the first type and all three of the second.
The amendment applied hardware can be upgraded, whether they buy the entire player to 499 €, a price much lower than expectations, whether you accontentiate only mod kit, from 69 €. The only defect: the Panasonic DMP-BD30 does not support the profile 2.0 (bd-live), but the current 1.1.
Certainly remember the affair dell’elegante - and even too costly - external SuperDrive that Apple produces and restricts the use exclusively with the MacBook Air. We discovered that did not work with other Macs and that it was specifically designed because there working. Not happy situation, there are those who have dismantled and has applied a hack: Spending $ 9, 10 minutes working hours and the device burns from any PC and Mac.
The Mitron, one of the most important South Korean companies that produce memories SSD, today presented a new generation of controllers to assemble on solid-state memories. It will be able to travel at a speed of 260MB / s, because equipped with a system of eight channels (compared to four today). Having said so this detail seems not indicative enough, however paraganoarlo to 120/130 MB / s current version to hear the difference immediately. According to the company this control is not only twice faster than the present generation, but is also the fastest ever put up for sale.
The word SPAM over the years has exacerbated its meaning of “damage”, “wasting time” and especially “nuisance”. This is because the amount of junk mail is always worse, bringing not only individuals to acquire Web software or offline can make a minimum recognition semantic, but it has also required a greater effort to companies (especially small and medium which affect the implementation costs so far more decisive than in multinationals), because the contacts in other languages can not always consider spam, especially if there also occupied export.
