Introduction
Wireless USB (WUSB) products are finally arriving at the market and in this article you will learn more about this technology and see some usage examples.
The goal of wireless USB is to connect peripherals such as printers, external hard disk drives, sound cards, media players and even video monitors to the PC wirelessly. This can be done…
Is it going to happen tomorrow, next week, in six months, or a year from now? It will happen eventually - your company will have data loss from an individual computer or a server. Are you prepared for this inevitable situation?
According to American Data Recovery:
* Companies lose more than 12 billion dollars a year from data loss
* 78% of this loss is because of system and hardware failure
* 11% is caused by human errors
* 60% of the businesses that lose data close within 6 months of the incident
(CNET) — Sony has been the public face of Blu-ray since the format’s inception, and while most of the focus during the bitter Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war was on the company’s PlayStation 3, Sony has been making stand-alone Blu-ray players from the start, beginning with the $1,000 BDP-S1.
Unfortunately, that player set the mold for stand-alone players: expensive, oversize compared with standard DVD players, and poorly featured compared with the cheaper PlayStation 3.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–Intel has set its sights on a share of the solid-state drive market, with plans to roll out a range of flash-based storage devices targeted at both the enterprise and consumer markets.
Kishore Rao, Intel’s product line manager for high-performance solid-state drives under the Nand product group, announced the products Tuesday at a media and analyst briefing during the Intel Developer Forum.
Manufacturers love to tell us that solid-state drives are the future. Apparently, they use less power, are impossible to damage and are quick off the mark. Ever sceptical, PC Advisor headed to the Test Center to find out the truth.
SAN FRANCISCO — In a sign that political instability and natural disasters can fuel technology spending, IBM Corp. plans to invest $300 million building new centers that can store companies’ sensitive data and deliver it remotely in the event of a meltdown.
Called “cloud computing,” the technology that Armonk, N.Y.-based IBM is employing in 13 new facilities lets companies access backups of their critical computer files over secured Internet connections _ instead of housing all the data internally.
WASHINGTON — The White House is missing as many as 225 days of e-mail dating back to 2003 and there is little if any likelihood a recovery effort will be completed by the time the Bush administration leaves office, according to an internal White House draft document obtained by The Associated Press.
A demonstration of terabit-per-square-inch densities for hard-disk media used self-assembling block co-polymers to perform “density multiplication.”
The technique, demonstrated by researchers from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (San Jose, Calif.) and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, used current lithographic tools to pattern magnetic domains for a 250-megabit disk. A self-assembling block co-polymer was then added to divide each track into fourths, resulting in terabit-per-inch2 densities.
Hard Disk crash is usually a nightmare, it comes with a lot of problems like data loses, and could even cripple an organization or a company if you don’t have proper backup systems in place.
Business 2.0 magazine lost their entire data for June 2007 edition and almost missed out publishing in June due to hard disk crash. However, there are people who thought of making some fun of this situation and have played domino with 1500 hard disks by crashing them at the same time.
