I remember, not long ago, when a 256MB thumb drive was considered substantial… now they have 256GB thumb drives available. I sound like my Grandpa. The Kingston 256GB DataTraveler holds a full 256GB’s on one tiny flash drive, amazing. The bad part, it costs more than your netbook… yours for under $840 here.
We are big fans of the TiVo interface and ease of use. Not much has changed with TiVo (sans sharing and some web additions) until now with the all-new TiVo interface TiVo Premiere ($299.99 to $499.99 for XL). The new TiVo Premiere interface loves HDTV, is ready to connect to the web, and can [...]
USB Flash Drives are invading our planet, this time in the form of StarWars Stormtroopers by Tyme Machines. The PEZ Dispenser looking, novelty USB Flash drive is pretty cool and comes with a removable head protecting the actual USB connector. Surprising bonus, there is a little light inside the figure that blinks during file [...]
The HDD Copy Cruiser Mini is both a powerful HDD duplicator and a versatile HDD docking station in one lightweight, portable device. This essential tool for building, upgrading and backing up computer systems requires no computer to run, eliminating the need to tie up a computer for hours running complex software to duplicate hard [...]
I hope that every cell phone, and gadget with batteries for that matter, will eventually have a solar panel integrated. Until that happens gadgets like XPAL’s Solar Egg will have to do the job. The Solar Egg is a small solar keychain that claims to work in natural light (doesn’t need tons of sun) [...]
Lacie, one of my favorite choices for external hard drives, has announced the first USB 3.0 external hard drive – the 2Big RAID. Why go 3.0? Transfer throughput speeds of 275MB/s. Look for pricing and availability soon.
“The 2Big uses Symwave’s USB 3.0 standard-compliant dual SATA and RAID bridge controller and a dual-disk RAID o/1 [...]
Concerts and sporting events over priced drinks got you trying to sneak your booze inside? Might be a bit easier with a Disposable Flask. You can get a set of 4 for $9.95, they are 7.5 ounces, freezable, reusable, have airtight lids, and come with a mini funnel for filling. I like em.
I remember when SSD drives were just a dream… and shortly after made it to a whopping 64GB’s. Now the SSD market is getting closer to reality with high capacity drives like the 1TB OCZ Colossus 3.5-inch SSD SATA drive. The drive is fast at 260MB/s of max read/write and sustained write speeds of [...]
Web cams and IP cameras have come down in price while quality has improved. The problem is that the webcam/IP camera has never really had a great security program to make them useful outside of video chat. That may have just changed with Vitamin D’s security software.
Vitamin D Video detects people and moving objects [...]
Every time a flash manufacturer claims to have the smallest flash drive I wonder how much research actually occurred. Considering the Sarah Palin advertisement showing Sarah’s lame patented wink… my guess is that this manufacturer, Active Media, doesn’t do much research on anything. I imagine Palin’s legal will have this ad removed shortly.
Either way [...]
