Toshiba Ups The Ante With 600GB 2.5" Self-Encrypting Hard Drive
Solid state drives may be the next big thing, but hard drives aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Not until everyone wins the lottery, anyway. Toshiba has this week introduced their newest 2.5" drive, a 600GB unit that marks the company's first SAS self-encrypting enterprise drive. For starters, 600GB is a lot of space for a 2.5" form factor drive, and Toshiba claims that this new MBF family represents the industry's highest-capacity 2.5-inch enterprise-class HDD. It's also the company's first enterprise-class

Sony Kills Next-Gen 11" Display; Manufacturers Hedge on OLED TVs
If one were to make a list of 21st-century technologies that deserve to be credited as the hardware equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever, OLED displays might just might sweep the competition. Display manufacturers have been talking about OLED televisions and monitors as "a couple years away" for at least the last half-decade. The recession of 2009 caused a number of manufacturers to push back their production plans (ostensibly in response), but a quick check of historic projections shows we were nowhere near predicted

Should Microsoft Charge For Windows Phone 7 Series?
Microsoft showed off its new mobile platform called Windows Phone 7 Series earlier this week. While the new mobile OS promises big changes in comparison to previous generations of Windows Mobile, one thing remains the same: Microsoft still intends to charge manufacturers to license the software. Whether or not this is a wise decision will remain to be seen, but there are compelling arguments for both sides. When Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Microsoft would continue with its current Windows Mobile business

Verizon FiOS Users Now Using Smartphones To Control TV Experience
Up until today, most every major home automation or A/V control application for phones was reserved for the iPhone. It felt like every major developer was only coding apps for controlling equipment for Apple's App Store, and so it's a breath of fresh air to see something like this. Verizon's FiOS service, which just became one of only two TV providers in America with access to HBO Go, has yet another notch in their belt today thanks to a new app for Motorola's Droid and HTC's Imagio.FiOS TV users can now use

Sprint's First 4G Smartphone Coming In Summer 2010
Sprint has been talking up the fact that they have "America's first and only 4G network" on their commercials for awhile now. It has actually been somewhat confusing; you see a Pre ad, then Sprint talks about 4G, yet the Pre cannot support WiMAX nor LTE signals. At any rate, Sprint actually is involved in America's only (at the moment) 4G network, which is also sold and supported by Clearwire. To date, this super high-speed mobile broadband network has only been used by 4G modems (like USB sticks), but it sounds

XFX Attacks Graphics Market with Exclusive Alien vs Predator Bundle
Unless you're willing to wait for Fermi, investing in a DirectX 11 foundation means hopping on the AMD/ATI bandwagon, which as it turns out isn't such a bad ride. And once you do, there are already a handful of DX11 titles to choose from, including Aliens vs Predator, Dirt 2 and the well acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum. We won't get into the merits of DX11 here (perhaps in another article, at another time), but suffice to say, if you're looking to knock out two birds with one stone, XFX has announced an exclusive

First Post Bug
I know you guys are already on to this one, based on Dave's response, but it seems that the first person responding to a news article may have his/her response replaced with the text of the article.
I just wanted to post this here in case you needed any details from our end. My responses that were replaced were simple one or two paragraph notes... so I do not believe that the content of the posts has anything to do with whether or not they're replaced.

Comcast Launches A Storage Cloud
Comcast Corp. is launching a cloud."Secure Backup & Share" is the cable/Internet/entertainment giant's latest service.
It's for customers of Comcast'shigh-speed Internet service, who will be able to "retrieve and sharetheir personal digital media from any Web-enabled or wireless device."I.e., it's a big ol' cloud.
Some might find it creepy to givetheir ISP access to their most important files, but with about 140,000hard drives crashing weekly in the U.S., according to stats cited byComcast, there's a lot of need for backup.Files also can be lost, the company points out, through human error orlost or stolen computers. Though some might argue that if you arecareless enough to lose a computer, that's your own damn problem.
Fact of the matter is, no matter what cloud you store your data in, you're trusting someone else with it."As customers create and consume more digital media content, the needfor online backup and storage increases significantly. Backup devices,like an external hard drive, can be lost, stolen or damaged in a fireand even if you put your backup device in a safe-deposit box, youprobably aren’t updating it regularly," Cathy Avgiris, senior vicepresident and general manager of communications and data services forComcast, said in a statement.
Comcast's high-speed Internet customers get 2 GB of storagefree. Those who need more can pay $4.99 a month or $49.99 annually for50 GB of storage or $9.99 monthly/$99.99 annually for 200 GB ofstorage. A personalized web site gives customers a platform from whichto share the data with others.

Should Microsoft Charge For Windows Phone 7 Series?
Microsoft showed off its new mobile platform called Windows Phone 7 Series earlier this week. While the new mobile OS promises big changes in comparison to previous generations of Windows Mobile, one thing remains the same: Microsoft still intends to charge manufacturers to license the software. Whether or not this is a wise decision will remain to be seen, but there are compelling arguments for both sides.When Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Microsoft would continue with its current Windows Mobile business model, he defended the stance saying, "I think there's something clean and simple and easy to understand about our model….We build something, we sell that thing." He added, "I think it's not only in our best interests, but it's ... a simple model that's easy for developers, handset manufacturers, and our operator partners to deal with, to understand, and to build from."
Considering Android and Symbian are open source platforms and BlackBerry and the iPhone software is not available to third parties, Windows Phone 7 Series will be the only major smartphone platform on the market that will be available on a paid basis. For manufacturers, a free platform—especially one that users seem to like—is definitely more attractive than a paid platform, even if the license fee for each phone is small. Many believe Windows Mobile does not account for a substantial amount of revenue for the company and therefore think that forgoing the license fee could help make Windows Phone 7 Series more competitive.
On the flip side, Windows Phone 7 Series will offer a unique user interface along with built-in applications that can't be found on other platforms. In the past, many manufacturers have been willing to pay license fees for Windows Mobile, so it seems reasonable to think they'll be willing to pay for future iterations of the mobile OS as well. Given that a number of major manufacturers are already on board with the new platform and working on devices that will ship later this year, this seems to be true.
Windows Phone 7 Series could also offer manufacturers a few benefits they wouldn't get with other platforms. For example, manufacturers may be able to cut costs with Windows Phone 7 Series due in part to the fact that the OS will not support custom front-ends as it has in the past. This will save manufacturers time and money in developing a new front-end for the phone. Additionally, the new Internet Explorer browser may actually be good enough to allow manufacturers to forego licensing and customization of a third-party browser such as Opera, thereby saving even more money.
At the end of the day, it's Microsoft's call as to whether or not to charge for its new mobile platform. The company has spoken, and even if the revenue generated by licensing fees is small by comparison to Microsoft's overall revenue, it's still money in the software giant's pocket. For consumers, the estimated $8 to $20 license fee is not likely to make a huge difference in overall hardware pricing.

Sound Card Issue
I've been having some obscure problems with my sound card, and really have no idea what the issue could be.
About ten to fifteen minutes into an online game (game title does not matter), my sound goes all funny. It'll jump a bit, suddenly sound very 'rough' before I get a crackling/hissing/screech through the speakers and then the sound cuts off completely. The stange part is a few minutes later where this seems to cause my internet connection to stop working. Seems the sound card has found a way to affect the motherboards onboard network adaptor.
Although after a reboot, the sound works fine. It seems it just doesn't like me doing one task that involves sound (music or DVD) and then doing something else like playing a game. I had the same issue with my previous sound card (Creative Fatal1ty) and initially thought it was a physical problem with the card itself, so purchased a completely different card. But it seems its slowly developing the same problem.
The specs are as follows:
Windows 7 64 bit home premium
Intel i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz
6Gb Corsair TR3 1600 RAM
Asus P6T Motherboard
2 XFX GTX 260's in SLI (latest drivers)
Asus Xonar D2 PCI sound card (brand new, latest drivers)
Tagan BZ Series 1100W PSU
1 Velociraptor HDD for OS and drivers.
2 1Tb Samsung Spinpoint HDDs for games/programs/documents etc.
Only things I can think of are either it's getting too hot (it is located in the PCI slot between the two graphics cards), or I need an even bigger PSU.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
