Western Digital's solution to solve the capacity-versus-speed storage dilemma - the Black2

    Struggling whether to buy speed or capacity when choosing drives is a common mix-up. Solid State Drive's (hereafter; SSD's) gives a rich amount of speed, while the Hard Disk Drives (hereafter; HDD's) offers more capacity. Opt for an SSD and forego without a mechanical drive and (mostly) would rely on the 'cloud'? or settle on HDD's and wait for it to chug along? Announced on Monday, Western Digital's Black2 promises to bring capacity and speed in a small form factor.

Your Phone may become smarter than you soon

    It may seem unjust, but your phone may adjust your life in a not so distant future. This may seem a little overwhelming and highly unlikely, but according to research firm Gartner, by 2017, your phone will be able to use data it perceives in a way you can't to perform automatic actions, such as adjusting your alarm to wake you up sooner if there is traffic that morning (awesome!), or automatically sending an apology when you are running late for a meeting.

Are Fingerprints the future for passwords?

The iPhone 5S was released with the so called TouchID

 
     Written passwords are so yesterday. With the generation today, passwords that we always write on physical (or virtual) keyboards doesn't just cut out. Which is why Apple made a thought on how we would work out with something a little less obtrusive and annoying. Something we all have in ourselves since we were born and something unique to each one of us, our Finger. More exactly, the print on it.

Mb and MB what's the difference?

        I wager ISP employees know the difference of both with their advertising jargon. I have had my 1Mbps internet for quite a few years now. My ISP (which is PLDT) advertises 1Mbps.

Why your flash storage capacity is showing less than what was advertised

Are manufacturers lying about the actual drive space?

    Just a month ago, I bought a terabyte's worth of a portable hard drive. I was delighted once I got it unboxed and backed up all my files. There's one thing in particular which caught my attention, the space. It's a terabyte so I did expect just a little bit of 'stolen' space on it. 

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Laptop/Notebook

 Laptops: Advantages and what's the Catch?

Laptops (Where it shines)

Portability 

 - Being able to bring a laptop with a horsepower that matches that of some desktop counterparts makes a whole new level of portability and productivity.

Less Cost

 - This is usually true to all. Laptop processors are specifically tailored to provide less consumption power to be able to use its juice effectively. Hence why you save on $$ when having a laptop than its desktop equivalent. Notebook processors are generally marked with an M at its codename (i.e 350M or similar) stating that its made for notebooks.

Laptops (Where it fluctuates)

Upgrades and Expandability

 - Laptops doesn't have expansion slots (let alone some rare occasions). You are only allowed to change your RAM and Hard Disk Drive. Buying Ultrabooks won't help either, knowing they doesn't even provide the flexibility to change your battery.

Disasters

 - Well, let's be honest here. When your laptop heatsink fails, you're pretty much screwed aren't you? Almost all market laptops comes with a motherboard, parts, bits and pieces which are made specific to that model. You're going to have a hard time changing that LCD if it will ever break on you. Which will cost you to replace the whole laptop whereas a desktop with a broken LCD could save you $$ than buying a new full-fledged system.
