The Seagate Momentus XT is priced much lower than full solid-state drives. The device spins at 7,200 RPMs and comes in capacities of 250 GB, 320 GB and 5...
Working for a disaster recovery solutions designer is often difficult. After being bombarded by ad slogans, magazine articles and just plain life experience, many company executives are looking to achieve a mythical figure for server uptime. Perceived uptime of 99.999 percent -- or "five nines" --...
Lending further credibility to reports that circulated about a month ago, Google has apparently partnered with Verizon Wireless for work on a new tablet device that may run Android. That news was delivered by Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam in an interview published Wednesday in The Wall Street J...
President Obama on Sunday delivered a commencement address that included warning graduates of the "distraction" posed by technologies like Apple's iPod and iPad devices. "You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of argume...
HP has announced a spring product rollout that includes 14 notebooks powered by AMD. The PCs span all user categories from enterprise to consumer. Although Intel does have a presence, AMD is the star of the show. This is "the largest single introduction of HP and AMD notebooks on one day," said Mike...
Last week was a huge week for news surrounding smartphones and iPad-like tablets. I mentioned a few weeks ago how the market was moving to vertical integration, which was placing platforms like Android at risk, but I didn't expect HP to move this quickly by buying Palm and getting its own OS. In ...
Why go into a Barnes & Noble, find a comfy chair and flip through the pages of a physical book when you can go into a Barnes & Noble, find a comfy chair and flip through the pages of a virtual book on the Nook e-reader? It may sound like an only-in-the-21st-century situation, as digital tech...
The market is in a planning cycle, and analysts are being asked to take a look in their crystal balls and describe what 2013 will look like. Clearly, we will have more bandwidth, 3-D TV will be ramping, and most of us will either be using tablet devices for something or moving to the next big thin...
IBM researchers in Switzerland said they've come up with a patterning technique that lets them create structures as small as 15 nanometers. One nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter. In comparison, a human hair is between .03 and .25 mm thick. Using the nanopatterning technique, the researchers h...
Microsoft announced a new revision of its SQL server software Wednesday, a version that the software maker is hailing as the "most complete information platform for managing, accessing and delivering information" in the corporate environment. "It's definitely a complete platform because it gets them...
HP on Thursday announced that its research arm, HP Labs, has discovered that the "memristor" -- a resistor with memory -- can perform logic. This could let data storage chips take over computation from specialized central processing units. HP researchers have designed a new architecture that stacks ...
HP is trying to steal some of the limelight from the iPad. Less than 48 hours after customers lined up to get their hands on Apple's newly released tablet computer, HP unveiled a highly produced video of its yet-to-be released Slate tablet. It shows the HP tablet device will be heavily focused on mu...
The Asus U30Jc isn't going to generate long lines at retailers. It won't touch off a best-ever/wouldn't touch it war a la that *other* recently released computing device. What the $899 machine does do, though, it seems to do pretty well. The Asus U30JC weighs in at 4.8 pounds. It is 13 inches by 9 i...
Last week was one hell of a week. We had the formal launch of the Core Wars between Intel and AMD, and a little product called the "iPad" entered the market. My biggest concern, thanks to the Lifeboat Foundation, was the Hadron Collider and whether I'd even wake up today. (Since you are reading this...
