The dark side of the economic boom in China http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-fg-suicide24apr24,1,6385946.story I would recommend Merc not read this thread/article, too depressing.

Still too expensive, 40MBs write speed is only equiv to 5.4k rpm notebook drives, but lower in price than previous SSD's...maybe next year price will drop in 1/2 again, with incremental performance increases? http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/05/06/super.talent.120gb.ssd/

MHZ2 BJ series, 1st announced 320GB lappy drive @7.2k rpm with same power draw as other lappy drives, must be using 3 platters, though the pdf spec sheet doesn't mention that...at least it's a standard height 9.5mm...

Chock up yet another win for the Mac. Proving once again, that *real* pros use a Mac...and people with too much time on their hands, and no knowledge any better- like tea, use M$ products like Vista, lol. Final Cut Pro and the making of 'No Country for Old Men'...

Doesn't really interest me, but for the SF whiners...maybe :p It's got the slowest Intel CPU (outside of a Mac Mini) ever offered on a Mac laptop, though I don't see the GPU spec's, I'll bet its the X1000 integrated, or whatever it's called...

http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/12/15/firewire.s3200/ As a joint Sony/Apple product, never got off it's feat really for lack of support and adoption by 3rd party storage solutions. Sony castrated it, along with PC laptops, by only using powerless 4 pin version, whereas the far more...

Everyone who has found this site knows that it is called 'Storage Forum'...duh. So the usage of Storage Forum as part of the forum title is not only redundant, it may also (apparently?) cause some n00bs to think it's the computer orientated technical support *chat room*. How else can you...

So I was looking for CFL to work with a motion/occupancy sensor over the kitchen sink. Apparently CFL's don't work so well with certain types of circuits, and can cause fires to the unknowing ignorant public! That and the side issue of poor manufacturing standards, falsification of test...
