You remember the doomsday device giant laser machine we posted about last month. Well, after a series of unfortunate events the guys at CERN have decided that it would be best to run it at half power–only 3.5 trillion electron volts–per beam when they start it up again late this fall. If things go well and we are all still here then they are going to step it up to 5 TeV per beam and then by the end of 2010 hope to be back at full power–7 TeV per beam. So, keep an eye on the news… while you still can.
What you are looking at is actually two different storage devices. The one on the left you will probably recognize as a MicroSD card. It is plugged in to the incredibly small Buffalo USB MicroSD card reader which is suppose to be available at the end of this month. This is perfect for laptops that only have an SD card slot.
This puppy is is going for ¥ 2,100.00 or a little over $21 USD. You can also buy them in an assortment of packages including one with a 16GB MicroSD card for $160 USD.
They will be available in white and black so be careful if you drop it in the grass, you may never find it again.
When excitement was building around the initial release of the Nintendo Wii there were pictures circulating that had the Wii in a wide assortment of colors. Much to our dismay we have been stuck with white since release day.
Just recently news and pictures of a black Wii have been making their rounds. It is now confirmed that the black Wii will be released on August 1st…. in Japan ONLY!
Bummer for the rest of the World. Nintendo has said there are “no plans to have other colors of Wii in the U.S.”
It seems Dell has continued its recent marketing strategy. Last night 3 new LCD monitors appeared on the Dell website unannounced. The Dell ST2310 23″ LCD, Dell E2210 21.5″ LCD and Dell E2010 20″ LCD are now available from the Dell website for the very reasonably priced $230, $169 and $139.
The ST2310 is impressive with its 23″ 16:9 anti-glare LCD capable of full HD resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz with a dynamic contrast ratio of 50000:1. The monitor has HDMI, DVI and VGA ports but for some reason only comes packaged with a standard VGA cable–come on Dell!
