    HD capacity to double by 2016

    The math in that article doesn't make any sense. If the highest density is around 625gb/inch^2 right now and it's expected to increase to 1800 that is a 2.88x increase. If you can get 5TB with 5 platters and 625 you should be able to get 14.4TB with 1800. Where they get 60TB from is beyond me.

    HD capacity to double by 2016

    I move large files between disks quite a bit, so higher STR would help me. I'll also need to upgrade to a 10gbps network.

    Samsung Galaxy Note and pondering future device trends

    I doubt it. I'm sure there will be several years where the carriers run both networks side by side.

    Samsung Galaxy Note and pondering future device trends

    Not yet, but eventually it will. Verizon is talking about moving voice over to the LTE network by the end of 2013. I would bet they will be the first network to make the switch.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    The sun is different colors throughout the day and depending on cloud cover, it is fairly yellow at sunset and sunrise. However, during the day or when it's overcast the sun is between 5500-6500k.

    Check out Priceline and see what you can get a room for at the Hyatt or Sheraton. I've heard of people getting rooms there for under $100 a night under the right conditions.

    question How do people buy music these days?

    I think I figured out why I never saw it, if you open the Amazon Cloud Player and select more than one song and click Download, it tells you that you need to install the Amazon MP3 Downloader. If you only select one song it will download normally. I most likely never tried it with only one song...

    question How do people buy music these days?

    I bought an MP3 album on Amazon a few months ago. I then realized that to download it I needed a proprietary application that wouldn't work with any recent version of Linux. I finally found I could install Banshee to download the MP3s. I tried this, but the version that was available in OpenSuse...

    iPhone syndrome

    How would Linux/BSD contain a backdoor? They are open source and many thousands of people look at the source code on a daily basis. Don't you think one of them would have publicized the backdoor by now? I guess it could be added by the distributions prior to compilation, but that would mean...

    Loss of system restore points when alternating between Windows XP and Windows 7

    I would recommend an imaging utility such as Clonezilla or Acronis True Image. Acronis is nice because it can image a running system. Clonezilla is nice because it's free and open source.
