Deskstar 7K1000.B, Hitachi Second-generation Terabyte Hard Drive
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) announced the 1TB Deskstar 7K1000 hard drive in January 2007. Fast forward a year and a half, and the company is back with not a larger version of the drive but a more efficient model in the Deskstar 7K1000.B. Like its predecessor, the 7K1000.B is a 3.5-inch, 7,200rpm hard drive that serves up 1TB of storage space and a 32MB buffer. It hits that magic terabyte mark, however, by using only three disks–down from the five-disk design of the older 1TB drive. It also borrows from Hitachi’s 2.5-inch mobile drives and includes Bulk Data Encryption.
As the amount of digital information created, captured and duplicated continues to grow at an uninterrupted, unrelenting pace, Hitachi’s aim that the three elements of media content, culture, and increasing capacity, are uniting to create an entirely new landscape for enterprise and consumer data storage. It is against this backdrop that Hitachi is announcing the Deskstar 7K1000.B, its energy-efficient 7,200 RPM one terabyte (1TB) hard drive.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 Camera
After I bought Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 Camera, this is my review. Sony’s W-series of cameras are known for their performance–muscle cameras, you can call them. The Cyber-shot DSC-W200 put a 12.1-megapixel sensor (the highest in a point-and-shoot then) in the hands of consumers, and now Sony outdoes itself by introducing the 13.6-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W300.
The shooter also offers a wider dynamic range, and this is primarily due to its BIONZ image-processing engine. Developed by Sony, the Dynamic Range Optimization promises to preserve image details that may otherwise be lost in highlights or shadow regions. We are curious to see how effective this is, especially for high-contrast scenes.

Read that Pop-Up Window
Windows that pop up on websites are sometimes useful. But sometimes clicking the button or link will start to install harmful software. Like the EULA, many users will click “yes” or “ok” without stopping to read the text just to make it go away. Maybe it said “Would you like to install our spyware program?” Ok, admittedly they don’t come out and say it directly, but that is all the more reason to pause and actually read those messages before you accept.
