Just as the 250 GB SimpleDrive model, this 500 GB version comes wrapped in a tapered case that is styled by designer Pininfarina. It weighs 2 pounds and its measurements are 8.2 X 5.1 X 1.5 inches. We are dealing with a drive that is aimed at changing between systems and not taking on a trip with you. The 500GB SimpleDrive portable hard drive manufactured by SimpleTech is not as portable as a Maxtor OneTouch 4 mini or as big as a 750 GB FreeAgent Pro by Seagate. On the other hand one factor that is highly important and is good stands in the listed price ($169.99) and this provides a great price per gigabyte factor.

We see a very useful one click backup button on the top of the drive that features the SimpleTech logo and is surrounded by a capacity meter that is very useful as it lets you know how much free space you have. When less than 10 percent of storage capacity is free you will also see it flashing, which basically means you should think about freeing some space. The 3.5 inch hard drive spins at 7,200 RPM and comes with 8 MB of cache buffer while Read more »

Sony’s portable version of the highly popular video game console PlayStation is one that comes with a lot more than regular video game play. The PSP comes with a built in web browser and wireless Internet capabilities. You should know that the PSP can do a lot of things, even DVD playback and photo editing. Such a gadget makes it easy for Sony to market it in different ways including PSP game downloads. Such features are actually easy to download directly in the PSP and this adds a lot of extra stuff to the normal functions we notice in video game systems. PSP game downloads are usually used to make players remain hooked on old games and creates a great platform for Sony to advertise and even convince gamers to purchase more games. Needless to say that this was a success so far and that Sony will want to keep it going.

PSP - More Than Games

We do see PSP game downloads appearing in different forms. One of the most popular we notice stands in PSP demos, which are shortened versions of new games that Read more »

In the technology world we are always hit with some sort of war between factions. Something like Apple versus Microsoft, PS3 versus Xbox 360, Google Versus Yahoo and so on. One of these battles does stand in what is currently labeled as the format war: HD vs Blu Ray. One other battle that few of us talk about stands in a different approach: Blu Ray versus Upconversion, although we are basically getting back to HD vs Blu Ray. Let us take a quick look at this!

Blu-Ray or Blue ray or BlueRay (however you tend to find it in blogs due to SEO marketing techniques) is basically an optical disc format that is developed by BDA (Blu-Ray Disc Association). This is a manufacturing group that currently focuses on media, computers and electronics. As time passed this format became better due to the possibility of being recorded, played and rewritten while linked to high definition video. We are talking about using blue laser technology, something that increases storage capacity a lot when comparing to regular DVDs. A single layer Blu Ray Disc can hold around 25 GB of data while dual layer doubles that amount. Read more »

Blu Ray technology is becoming very popular and it is one of the biggest breakthroughs in technology in the last few years, together with the iPhone and a whole lot of gadgets that are very good in terms of reliability and what they can do. People start to purchase and view movies that are produced with Blue Ray technology and we have the PS3 equipped with a blue ray player, one fact that is a big aid in the popularity growth we notice. In order to properly understand the topic, you need to know that all blu ray players come with a violet or blue laser. It helps the disc to be read a lot faster when compared with CDs and works at a shorter wavelength, which translates in the possibility of recording more data on one blu ray disc. As you probably already know, blu ray technology does seem to be a great solution for both computers and the entertainment world. Now with this growth of popularity in mind, we need to think about the possibility of a blu ray DVD decrypter.

Windows Vista is around one year old and although Microsoft and everybody should be celebrating it looks like most of the individuals that look into such subjects around the world are only thinking about Windows 7. I mean we can see Windows 7 screen shots on the Internet, Windows 7 videos, talks about Milestone 1 Windows 7 build and the upcoming M2 and M3 and so on. A lot of people think that Microsoft tries to build excitement to the next Windows release but this is probably not right at all. A sound approach would be to lower the expectations as much as possible in order for the end product to be better as anyone was thinking of prior to launch. The best proof for this is the fact that nobody in Microsoft will release an official statement of any kind linked to Windows 7.

A lot of people are anti-Vista and want Windows 7 to put an end to it although Vista is selling well for Microsoft. It is not as expected but it is still bringing in revenues and helping Bill Gates’ baby take in more money. On the other hand we need to think about the fact that Windows 7 needs to be good for Microsoft and this means that the problems that were present with Windows Vista must not appear. It is highly possible that we will see Windows 7 available somewhere in 2009 although the official release date is 2010. Now the one thing that people do not really realize is that Windows 7 can not make everybody happy! It will have flaws and will have problems, just like any operating system out there. The trick is pleasing the majority and not those that come out with a loud mouth, criticizing every little aspect as much as possible to create an audience.

We did not think that it was possible but it sure seems so! Never use a government supplied pager, mobile phone or anything else for cybersex or important text messages if you are a public employee! It is all so simple but it sure seems like Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick did not know this. An investigation started by the Detroit Free Press recently exposed the mayor as a possible perjurer. The newspaper got their hands on around 14 thousand sms messages between Kilpatrick and chief of staff Christine Beatty. As you can imagine, the content of the messages was pretty interesting (or it would not appear here or on the Internet anywhere).

The two people involved here have testified in a trial that there was no relationship between them and that the firing of deputy police chief Gary Brown in 2003 did not exist. It seems like they were not really telling the truth! One message stated clearly about the “decision that we made to fire Gary Brown” and it was written by Beatty. Now since you probably do not care about that, let us talk about the love chat too! On April 8th 2003 Beatty wrote: “And, did you miss me, sexually?” and Kilpatrick answered: “Hell yeah! You couldn’t tell. I want some more.” That does sound interesting doesn’t it? How about a message sent on October 16th of 2002 by Kilpatrick stating: “I’ve been dreaming all day about having you all to myself for 3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking, sleeping and making love.”

According to the newspaper it seems that a lot of the messages were sexually explicit but most of them were not released to the public. Now both Kilpatrick and Beatty are quite in a bundle of trouble. If they are found guilty of perjury and convicted it could mean 15 years of prison with no touching and “making love”, not even through text messages. To make it even worse, Kilpatrick can also face disbarment because of lying under oath.
