1 Terabyte Hard Drive! Have you heard??

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

A terabyte (TB) is a measure of computer storage capacity that is 2 to the 40th power or approximately a trillion bytes (that is, a thousand gigabytes). The prefix tera is derived from the Greek word for monster.

Hitachi began selling 1-terabyte hard drives to consumers in 2007. (Today, consumers can purchase a 1-terabyte external hard drive for around RM500.) A one terabyte drive can hold:472 hours of broadcast quality video. 150 hours of hi-definition recording.
For readers who are still wondering how big is this 1 Terabyte capacity. Remember those USB pen drives of yours? Some are 512kb,1 G or 4G, the largest capacity for USB pen drives now is 16G.

# 1000 unit of 1G pen drives = 1 Terabyte. . Amazing huh?

Say HELLLLOOO to PSP GO!

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Sony made its PSP Go portable gaming console official at the E3 2009. As the upgrade to the PSP, the PSP Go has a sliding design. It is boosted by a 333MHz processor and 64MB memory. It has a 3.8-inch 480×272 LCD display, 16GB internal storage, integrated Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b connectivity. You can also find built-in stereo speakers and a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot.

Other than gaming, the PSP Go supports media playback. It supports MPEG-4, H.264, Motion JPEG video, MP3, WAV, WMA, ARACT3/plus and AAC audio as well as JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF and PNG images.

Sony PSP Go will be available on 1 October 2009 in N. America, Europe and Asia for $249 and on 1 November in Japan.

Writer's review: The format is nice, it is much smaller than the product photos would have you think. That is definitely a pocket device. It looks small and light and comfortable in your hands. The controller looks OK for most games but we know that many of you would miss an analog stick. Fortunately, I’m an old school player, so I can deal with the standard direction control. There’s one thing that worries about the buttons on the right: they are a little small. It’s OK when playing games that don’t require a difficult string of buttons, but something like a tap game (Guitar hero) or a fighting game (Tekken) might be problem because there might not be room for more than one finger. <:P
