AT&T And Verizon Say 10Mbps Is Too Fast For 'Broadband'
How many of you could actually get by with a 10Mbps plan? Personally, I'm at 150Mbps and I can't wait until Cox rolls out its gigabit service later this year in my area.
"Given the pace at which the industry is investing in advanced capabilities, there is no present need to redefine 'advanced' capabilities," AT&T wrote in a filing made public Friday after the FCC's comment deadline (see FCC proceeding 14-126). "Consumer behavior strongly reinforces the conclusion that a 10Mbps service exceeds what many Americans need today to enable basic, high-quality transmissions," AT&T wrote later in its filing. Verizon made similar arguments.

HGST Ultrastar He6 6TB SAS HDD Review
The fellas at NikKTech have just published a review of the HGST Ultrastar He6 6TB SAS hard drive today.
For the Ultrastar He6 line of HDDs HGST took a different path and so instead of using regular air inside the drive just like every HDD out in the market currently they decided to use the much lighter Helium gas. So since Helium has one-seventh the density of air it allows for all 7 disks/platters inside the drive to spin easier and thus faster due to less resistance/friction which in turn naturally results in reduced power demands and temperatures.

EA: 'We Never Want To Be Worst US Company Again'
