Power Sentry 5-Outlet PowerSquid Power Multiplier

Power Sentry PowerSquid Power Multiplier - The PowerSquid expands upon the practical idea of your basic power strip.

The flexible cord design also makes it easy to accommodate complicated wiring situations.

Its ingenious design and multi-purpose functionality makes Power Squid one of the most versatile power management devices available today. Features 5 outlets on flexible arms, to easily accommodate bulky adapters and awkward spaces-perfect for tight spots in the home, office or dorm that require power.

USBCELL AA Rechargable Battery

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

USBCELL AA Rechargeable Batteries work just like normal rechargeable batteries–but simply pop off the lid to recharge by any powered USB Port. Ideal for use with wireless mice, keyboards, game controllers, and other household products with no need to carry or find a separate charger. Easily rechargeable on the go, in the office or at home. USBCELLs can be charged hundreds of times saving you money and helping reduce environmental waste. USBCELLs are NiMH 1.2v batteries with 1300mAh capacity.

The USBCELL has been designed for real-world ease of use. By opening the cap and plugging into any powered USB port, you can recharge pretty much anywhere there’s a USB socket. By making it easier to recharge batteries we can help the environment: easier recharging means more frequent use, which means fewer disposable batteries get made and thrown away.

In a powered USB socket, USBCELL should take about 5 hours to charge to over 90% of capacity, sooner if the battery was only partly depleted. Thanks to the intelligent charging circuitry of USBCELL, it’s OK to “top up” or just partially charge USBCELL if you need the power in a hurry; NiMh batteries aren’t affected by partial charging or ‘memory’ problems, unlike Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. As with most rechargeable NiMH batteries, you may find that maximum capacity is reached only after a few full charge and discharge cycles.

Hitachi breakthrough promises 4TB drives by 2011

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Hitachi announced today that it has developed the world’s smallest hard drive read heads, and that it expects the new technique to eventually quadruple hard drive size within four years.

The company’s new technology is called current-perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magneto resistive, or CPP-GMR. Current hard drives use tunneling magnetoresistance, or TMR, which allows drive heads to read data on tracks that are 70nm apart. Areal density at that point is approximately 200Gb per square inch. Increasing that density means laying data tracks closer to each other, which in turn requires a smaller read head. As a read head shrinks, however, electrical resistance and electrical noise both increase. According to Hitachi, researchers have predicted that attempting to increase areal density past 500Gb per square inch using TMR technology will be difficult, at best
