Yes, you read that right; this baby can be as large as 4TB’s. Now, how many people really need 4TB’s of external storage, I’m not sure. But if you do, it’s there. This new external is a new dual-drive 2Big USB 3.0 RAID drive developed by LaCie in partnership with Symwave.
And another thing, this drive has transfer speeds of up to 275MB/s because of the new USB 3.0 hardware, and the new dual SATA and RAID bridge controller developed by Symwave. Things are just getting faster and faster these days. 275MB a second… thats a GB about every four seconds. I hope this becomes pretty standard. As an American, I really dislike waiting on things that should be instant (at least in our heads they should be).
Sadly, no price or release date have been announced other then in 2010. But, they say that they will be showing this off at CES in January. Maybe we’ll learn how much we can’t afford this by then.
Acer is one of the major sponsors of the 2010 Winter Olympics along with the 2012 Olympics as well. And to subtly show their support, they are selling the Acer Timeline 1810TZ with the Olympic-rings on the lid.
The 1810TZ is considered by Acer to be an ultraportable laptop. Sporting a 11.6-inch screen, 3GB of ram, and a full size keyboard all for $580. So not too bad when it comes to laptop if your comfortable with Acer’s. Other specs of this Olympic runner are a dual-core Intel CULV processor, 802.11b/g Draft-N, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, webcam, mic, Windows 7, and some pretty colors to go with it.
So if your looking for a laptop to watch the schedule of the next series of Olympics unfold, why not just buy this one. Plus, you can show it off to your friends too. All they have is a funky Q, or “HP.” Woo… You’ve got the Olympic rings. What now.
MusicSkins, which are 3M vinyl stickers for your gadgets and gear including MP3 players, cellphones, laptops and even portable gaming devices. They are available for over 100 devices and feature a wide variety of musical artists and even offer the ability to create custom skins. Price of course will vary depending on what you are looking to skin, but expect to pay around $15 for a phone or upwards of $30 for a laptop.
My thoughts
Take a quality made skin that can protect the gadgets and gizmos that I spend more money on than I should, and then combine that with pictures and logos from some of my favorite artists and bands. I love it. And in addition, they even supply wallpaper for your display so you can have your skin match your display. I choose to not use the wallpaper image because personally it seemed a little much for my taste, but I still think its a nice little addition.
The bottom line
Well, I have already recommended them to several friends, and will continue to do so in the future. Basically, if you are looking for a skin, and love music then MusicSkins is the way to go. They offer a large selection of designs, print on quality material and are fairly priced. Really, what more could you ask for.
Just like the logo above, it looks like RIM is currently experiencing some trouble. And it seems the trouble is coming where it will hit BlackBerry users the hardest—with their email. According to the reports, all North American BlackBerry users are experiencing delays in receiving email. In other words, they are not getting any. Otherwise, according to what we have heard so far, it looks like the other services such as web surfing and BlackBerry Messenger are still working as expected.
If you are a BlackBerry user, shout out in the comments and give us some more details.
Ever since I saw the Transporter, I’ve wanted to own an Audi A8. My bank account doesn’t yet match my aspirations, but I’m going to have to remedy that quickly so I can take advantage of the new Google Latitude and Maps integration added into the Audi A8.
The Audi A8 dashboard now features Google Earth, meaning Audi drivers are the first to get 3D satellite imagery in their car. Google Earth, which has half-a-billion downloads on desktops, will also provide terrain information and layers of information like Panoramio images and Wikipedia articles. Imagine parking near a cape in Portugal and then seeing a Wikipedia article discuss the historic events that took place there or the famous establishments nearby. Pretty sweet.
Drivers can also take advantage of Google Maps services by sending business listings to the phone or performing live searches from the car. Users can search for a location on their desktop and then send the information to their car, which quickly reads the data and provides navigation to the address. Along the way, Google Maps can search for other points of interest.
An Audi A8 starts at $75,000, meaning I’m still a long way from being able to afford my favorite car and enjoy these Google services. However, I’m hoping that this is just the first stage of Google integration with more automobiles. I’d love to have this work in more affordable vehicles or sold as an installable dash unit.
It’s a common practice for legal teams to scrutinize each advertisement or marketing campaign to avoid making statements that could lead to lawsuits. However, it’s difficult to recall a time when lawyers for phone companies in the United States and Canada have had such a heavy workload in the mobile phone wars.
In recent weeks, cellular companies in the U.S. and Canada have engaged in a round of back-and-fourths about network claims and "misleading" advertisements. The most recent battle was settled yesterday when a Canadian court ruled that Bell Mobility can no longer advertise itself as the country’s “Most reliable network.” Rival carrier Rogers filed the suit to block Bell's claims because its new HSPA network is untested and relatively unused. Judges sided with Rogers and forced Bell to stop making the claim, meaning Canada no longer has a "most reliable network."
The legal wrangling first started after TELUS sued Rogers for calling itself “Canada’s Most Reliable Network” with data speeds twice as fast as its domestic competitors. The only problem with those claims is that after TELUS and Bell joined together to form a 21Mbps HSPA network last month, Roger’s network is no longer providing Canada’s fastest speeds or as much coverage. TELUS sued Rogers to block all ads that make any reference to being more reliable or faster, and a British Columbia Supreme Court granted a temporary injunction. In turn, Rogers sued Bell to block it from making similar claims, and a judge once again ruled against the “most reliable network” of the moment.
Meanwhile, even TELUS considered legal action against Bell because of the reliability claims on the network that they share. It seems no one in Canada will be able to call themselves fast or reliable at this rate.

Continental has joined the elite ranks of Virgin America, American, United, even the illustrious AirTran and have made the decision to offer WiFi on itsflights. The new service will begin rolling out before summer 2010. Continental will use Gogo Inflight Internet as the WiFi provider.
Interestingly, Gogo offers different rates depending on the device you are using. For example, laptop users will pay $4.95 for flights up to 1.5 hours, $9.95 for a single flight between 1.5 and 3 hours, and $12.95 for a single flight over 3 hours. Mobile device users can opt for a $7.95 plan that covers a single flight, no time limit. A 24 hour pass is available, as is a 30 day pass.
While usually misers, we don’t think these prices are ridiculous. Inflight WiFi is finally here. Hooray!

Its been a busy few days as far as the Google Nexus One is concerned and we have seen everything from trademark filings, to FCC listings, to images and most recently a handful of videos. Now in regards to the videos, the first few were published yesterday and seemed like they were going to lead to something interesting. That said, we have now found two more videos, but its becoming clear that these are going to stay on the simple (read: less exciting) side. So, for what they may be worth, here are the latest two, which are simply titled Video 3 and Ring Ring.
Sadly though the Video 3 is once again offering a look at the boot screen animation. Fortunately it goes for a little longer coming in at 42 seconds, but still, the boot screen again? The second, Ring Ring is just like you would think, the Nexus One receiving a call and ringing. Basically, its a 32 second video that shows a phone ring, but trying to be positive, it is a nice ringtone and does also show the flashing of the trackball.
