TDK Shows 32GB Flash Memory Drive for Notebooks
Link: TDK Shows 32GB Flash Memory Drive for Notebooks – Gizmodo.
Samsung commanded our undivided attention when it announced its 32GB flash drive, and now TDK rolls out its interpretation of a 32GB NAND flash memory drive. This one hooks up to a standard IDE connector and fits easily into a notebook with room to spare; the drive’s just 80% the size of a regular garden-variety 2.5-inch hard disk.
Better yet, it uses less power, even while moving data along at a snappy 33.3MB per second. We’re happy to predict that it won’t be long now until moving parts are completely eliminated inside laptops, desktops soon thereafter, and not a moment too soon. Bring it on.

Google Image Labeler
From: UNEASYsilence.
In an effort to improve the results returned for Google Image searches, Google recently unveiled a user-driven service known as the Google Image Labeler.
You’ll be randomly paired with a partner who’s online and using the feature. Over a 90-second period, you and your partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner’s label, you’ll earn some points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After time expires, you can explore the images you’ve seen and the websites where those images were found. And we’ll show you the points you’ve earned throughout the session.
Sounds kind of like some sort of contorted game of Pictionary. It might be something to do to kill kill time.
Ultimate Hacking PC Cracks 300 Wi-Fi Nets
Link: THE RAW FEED: gadgets, games and geeks.
A custom-build PC called the "Janus Project" can scan 300 WIRELESS NETWORKS simultaneously, capturing all the traffic and storing it on its hard drive. Builder Kyle Williams, of the Janus Wireless Security Research Group in Portland, Oregon, says the system can focus eight Wi-Fi cards on a single access point to break its WEP keys in less than five minutes. Captured data is automatically encrypted (hey, there are a lot of hackers out there) and the case itself is waterproof.

Rebuilding RAID
After the RAID collapsed I had to replace the disk, its currently rebuilding, so far no data has been lost…
Segway Centaur Video Demo
Link: Gizmodo, The Gadget Guide.
The Segway Centaur is the newer, younger brother of the Segway that just about nobody—unless you’re Steve Wozniak or a Chicago beat cop—is riding. This four-wheeled Segway looks more stable than the previous one, even when it’s up on its hind wheels. The Centaur features a seat, handlebars, and the same type of engineering that went into the commercially unpopular Segway.
We have to say, it looks like it goes pretty fast and could be fun to ride. No chance at all seeing this on city sidewalks (maybe bike lanes?) though. Just a concept for now, so we probably won’t be seeing this for a few years at least. – Jason Chen
Sony Vaio UX90PS (16GB Flash)
Link: Akihabara News.
Nano Review of the Vaio UX90PS (16GB Flash) Last month we shot 2 video reviews of Sony’s latest UMPC-like wonders, the UX50 and the UX90. Sony then released a limited version of the UX90 (1.2GHz CPU) with 16GB of flash RAM HDD, so we decided to take this device for a spin and check if the few additional bucks are really worth spending. We won’t spoil the pleasure of watching the 14 minutes video review but what we can tell you rightaway is that despite our mixed feelings about the UX50 and UX90, we are now really impressed by this flash RAM based version and we are really looking forward to see more devices like this !!!

The UX90PS is now available to buy at GeekStuff4U.com
