The USB 3.0 standard has been in development for some time now, but it finally looks like we might be seeing that blazing speed in our computers and peripherals sooner than later. In fact, Nikkei Elec...
I know that you can get some serious performance boost when you add a ssd (solid state drive) to a laptop setup. The problem is, most of the drives that I can afford are slow, stuttery, or flat out bu...
Speaking for someone who has a few computers and has had substantial data loss on everyone, 4TB (yes Terabytes) of data storage does not sound like overkill. I could run Time Machine for years on that...
The reality for hard drives is that if you are not going to be a SSD (Solid State Drive), then you have to fast, big, and do a few tricks to stay relevant. Western Digital knows that better than anyo...
There are a few things that are so incredible cool that it doesn't matter how geeky how they are; I will buy them. The Ravage Transformer USB drive is one of those things. Coming straight out of m...

My wife lost a Blackjack Smartphone a few years ago, and all she had to do was contact her IT department and the phone was wiped remotely. Some Blackberrys and even the iPhone can handle t...
10MB per second isn't the fastest transfer speed on the block, but it is screaming when it comes to wireless transfers. 10MB is the approximate speed limit of a new protocol, UWB (Ultra-Wide Band...
Computers and kids are a dangerous mix. My son has destroyed two laptops in my family wih his drive-by play. He yanked one off of a table by the power cable, and he also broke a flash drive off inside...

There is no question that SSD (solid state drives) are the way to go in the future. They consume less power, they are quieter, and as anyone who has dropped a flash drive off of a five stor...
My kids have a nasty habit of stepping on things. Personally, I don't try to understand it; I just want to survive it, but so far I have not been lucky. The other day, my messenger bag was lying o...
Have you tried working on a netbook? I am talking about one of the 10 inch or smaller units that are all the rage right now. Personally, I find them too small and too limited in what they cannot do. O...

So, I am drafting this on my Google Documents account; I saw the news item via a Google News Alert, but before I wrote it, I checked my Google Calender to verify that I didn't have anoth...
Netbooks are all the rage, and who can blame them. They are cheap, light, small, and ultra-portable. They do lack certain amenities such as DVD/CD drives and burners. It does make sense then that dri...
So, I was cleaning out an an old desk drawer the other day when I pulled out a floppy disk. My son picked it up and asked me what it was, and so I explained it to him. He looked at me, looked at the d...
I have a flash drive that I carry some pretty important information on, and I know if I ever lost it, I would be screwed. Things would be especially bad if some bad-guy were to get their grubby hands...
I like useful things, and I hate single use items. Unfortunately, some of my single use items are absolutely essential, which is the case with my flash drive. Every now and then someone comes up with...
If you are the proud owner of a ultra thin MacBook Air, new Aluminum Macbook, or voodoo Envy, then you have a hard time finding peripherals that do your machine justice. I am lucky, a cinder block si...
There are two types of people in the world right now, those that are scared to absolutely freaking death by the current financial state of affairs, and the type of people that want the Incrudo 8GB fla...
The netbook craze is staring to get a little bit overwhelming. Just about everyone and their brother is producing one of the diminutive little buggers, and most of them are absolutely unimpressive. It...
I am all for multi-function devices. I have a printer / scanner / copier, I carry a Swiss-Army knife, and own an iPhone. If I am going to plop money down for a gadget or gizmo, it better do more than ...
Good price - check. Large capacity - check. Economical, quiet, and environmentally sound - yep. It sounds like SimpleTech's [re]drive is a great little storage gadget that has a lot going for it. ...
Even gadget lovers can care about the earth. In fact, some would argue that because of our massive amounts of electronic gizmos, we have a duty to cut back where we can. That's where Fantom's ...
I know there are some out there who just have to have their CDs, DVDs, and/or CD Roms organized in the best possible way. Fortunately, the CD Carousel Plus is made for you.
All have to do is enter i...
Let's face it, flash drives are really convenient. However, if your flash drive falls into the wrong hands, so does your data. What's a paranoid geek to do?
Enter the Ironkey, sold by Think...
One common complaint I hear with cable company-provided DVR equipment is that the ability to store more movies locally is very limited. You can store a few programs, but try and store a whole season o...
There are all kinds of USB drives out there: cheap ones, simple ones, ones shaped like fruits or vegetables or sticks or engines, ones that can run software and ones that dare you to drive a car over ...
If you're the sort of geek (like me) who finds the idea of carrying around the potential of an entire computer in your pocket pretty exciting, but don't know how to get started, InformationWee...
