Finally 3TB hard-drive from Seagate

The disk sizes are decreasing and the storage space increasing. From a long time we've been stuck at 2TB. Not anymore: Seagate announced that it is shipping the industry's first 3TB hard drive, the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk external drive.The drive, with a USB 2.0 connector, will sell for $250, which works out to $0.08 per gigabyte.

Why 2 TB Limit?

According to Seagate engineers, the 2 Tera Byte limitation was neither an issue with the file structure ( NTFS) nor a problem with the Windows operating system itself. Rather, the issue lay with the master boot record (MBR) partition table, contained in the first sector of a hard disk drive. The partition table used with Windows XP and earlier Microsoft operating systems was limited to just 2.2TB--which, a decade-plus ago, seemed an unthinkably high number. The table works by using numbers to represent the starting sector and the number of sectors of a partition, and it maxes out at 2.2TB (using 512-byte sector sizes).
Windows Vista and Windows 7 introduced a new partition-table scheme, dubbed GPT (for GUID Partition Table). The GPT blasted past the previous limitations by supporting up to 8 zettabytes.
note: 1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte,1024 petabytes = 1 exabyte, and 1024 exabytes = 1 zettabyte.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 maintain backward compatibility by also reading and writing MBR partitions.

INTEL's Tangent Bay Laptop

ntel Shows Laptop With 4 Screens,1 LCD and 3 OLED's

One of the more interesting ideas from Intel is the multi-screen laptop. While making a laptop with more than one display isn't a new concept (Lenovo's W700 or the gScreen), integrating four into one is a new mark. Of course, they're not all four full sized, but with one LCD and three auxiliary OLED, it's certainly neat.
What makes the Intel prototype even more interesting is that it features multitouch on all of its screens, allowing users to manipulate and move content from one screen to the next, as can be seen in the videos on CNet.

 That's four screens in total. Crazy, right? The prototype's three mini-screens let you organize and play files without taking up room on the main display. You can also use multi-touch gestures, and drag files between screens. 

Watch it in action:

Nokia Eco-friendly Phone powered by Coca-Cola…

The below shown picture is the work of designer Daizi Zheng, an eco-friendly Nokia phone powered by sugary drinks.

Daizi claims that the phone battery, used as a power source is too expensive and harmful for nature, specially in the disposal process. She has an alternative for normal batteries, that is the bio battery, an eco-friendly source of energy that uses carbohydrates (sugar in this case) and enzymes as the catalyst for the process needed to produce energy.One pack of sugary drink will include enough carbohydrates for your phone to work, also generating water and energy, when the battery dies. Bio batteries have the potential to work three to four times longer with a single charge, compared to the Li-Ion batteries used today.

The idea is brilliant, but what about the handset’s design? A FLASK IN YOUR POCKET

Anybody desiring one of the fastest, most tricked-out, and most costly portables around will find a great sidekick here.

Lenovo ThinkPad W701ds

In tests with professional-level content-creation tools, including 3D Studio Max 2011, Painter 11, and Avid Media Composer, all of the programs ran smoothly. Demanding games can also bring down lesser laptops--but while gamers may not be this laptop's target market, on this machine Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Crysis Warhead, and Supreme Commander 2 all looked great at high resolutions and maximum settings.

 

The monster Lenovo W701ds dual screen laptop is an upgraded version of the 700ds. The W701ds has a Intel Core i7-920 Extreme processor at its heart, a 17-inch WUXGA (1920×1200) primary display, and Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M graphics.

Modbook----A Mac tablet

The one and only Mac tablet

Praised by reviewers as "versatile" and "sturdy and sleek," the Modbook is the pioneering slate-style Mac® tablet that lets you draw and write directly on the screen. It combines Axiotron's hardware and software technology, a Wacom Penabled digitizer and an Apple MacBook to create a powerful tablet computer like no other.

Who's it for?

Built for creative professionals, students and general users, the Modbook has a condensed form factor and integrated pen-based user experience that offer unprecedented flexibility and control over the creative process.

Working in Mac OS® X, Modbook users can draw on the screen using popular applications like Autodesk® SketchBook® Express standard on every Modbook) and Adobe® Photoshop® — or use any other Mac-based application.

What makes it different?

The Modbook is the only Mac tablet available. And it is a fully functioning computer, not a plug-in tablet device with lots of cables and cords. You can sit down anywhere and work with it.

It has an etched ForceGlass™ screen to simulate paper, giving you a natural experience when using the included digitizer pen. Its magnesium frame and top shell give it superior structural strength, yet it is only slightly heavier than its original MacBook base system — the perfect mobile creative tool!

IPad does not support Adobe FLASH

One of the disappointing (if unsurprising) part of Apple’s launch of its iPad tablet computer was the absence of Flash, Adobe’s technology for web video and other media.

It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple's DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers.  And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.
If you want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab -- not to mention the millions of other sites on the web -- you'll be out of luck.
