WD resumes hard drive production after Thailand floods

It looks like Western Digital has been able to get product started a little quicker than expected. Lets hope this means the worst of the price hikes are behind us. But it will still take a long time for them to get back up and running completely.

100 MPH Remote Control Car!

1212011cIt may not be directly PC related, but I came across this and found it very interesting. Not only is it impressive that its a 100+ MPH RTR kit but the integration with iPods and iPhones is amazing. 

"The XO-1 is not a toy and is intended for use by experts only," says Traxxas, who warns that the XO-1 carries a risk of fire, injury or death! Further suggestions include operating the car only on a closed course, like a real racetrack or drag strip, where the XO-1 should be able to go 0-60 in just 2.3 seconds, on the way to its 100-mile-per-hour-plus top speed.

Check out the source like for more information and to see a few videos showing its performance and how you can see your speed on the fly using your iPod!

V-MODA announce the availability of Faders tuned earplugs

1212011bV-MODA, the maker of critically-acclaimed and award-winning headphones including Crossfade LP and Crossfade M-80, is thrilled to announce the availability of Faders tuned earplugs, the first of several protective offerings under Ear Armor, Inc.

"Most earplugs simply sound like you have mud in your ears, even expensive custom-fitted sets costing hundreds of dollars don't have the clarity and highs. Additionally, after DJing for years with custom earplugs, I experienced first-hand that they can cause ear canal problems similar to using Q-tips. Worst of all, these expensive products easily fall out and get lost," says Val Kolton, Chief Visionary Officer and Founder of V-MODA. "Faders are affordable, comfortable, sleek, fit everybody, and most importantly they help protect your hearing while still allowing you to rock out and enjoy concerts, clubs, or any loud event."

Solid State Hybrid Drives will fuel the enterprise

A good read from one of our good friends over at Seagate!
Seagate just announced its latest generation Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD) – the 750GB Momentus XT – which made me pause and think about the potential implications throughout the enterprise.

But with a 70% performance increase over its first generation model, and while also making a significant bump in capacity, there’s a lot of storage power that the Momentus XT can deliver.

Noctua introduces PWM fans

11302011This morning Notcua announced a new series of fans incorporating PWM functionality, something that Noctua fans have lacked in the past. When asked why Noctua, a company who's main focus is on introducing quiet cooling products, is just now getting into the PWM fan market this is what Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO had to say. 

"Our customers have been asking us for PWM versions of our fans for a long time, but the available PWM fan driver ICs simply weren't up to our quality standards", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "With our NE-FD1, we've now got our custom-designed IC that allows us to build PWM fans that consume less power and remain quieter at low speeds."

With prices ranging from 18.90 to 24.90 USD, they won't be cheap. But I can guarentee they will be of the best quality!
