TwinMOS develop new Flash Drive Technology

Published by on Dec 7th, 2006, No Comments

TwinMOS Technologies have developed a device that will take Flash Drives to a whole new dimension.

The U3 Smart Drive not only acts as a normal Flash Storage Device but also doubles as a Mobile Profile Device.

TwinMOS U3 Smart Drive

Essentially, this means that aside from storing your normal day-to-day data, it also allows you to transport your desktop, profile and OS settings as well. An added feature is the ability to carry software around with you as well.

So, you install your software, set up your desktop, make your OS configurations/settings/preferences and off you go. Every machine that you connect the device to will automatically adjust itself accordingly and the software you’ve installed will be accessible from anywhere, even those machines that haven’t had it installed on.

Unfortunately, the current maximum size is 1Gb, which is laughable if you’re planning on installing software as well, but TwinMOS advise that they are hoping to multiply that number by 100 by the end of the year.

Kid shot dead over PS3 theft

Published by on Dec 6th, 2006, 3 Comments

An 18-year-old North Carolina man, suspected of stealing two PlayStation 3 consoles, was shot dead by police executing a search warrant at his residence.

Peyton Strickland was gunned down in his house by deputies as he answered the door, the Wilmington Star News reports.

He was unarmed, according to witnesses. University of North Carolina police had investigated the alleged robbery, and asked the Hanover County Sheriff’s Department to assist in serving the warrant. It was a sheriff’s deputy, not a university officer, who killed the young man. The trigger-happy deputy also shot dead Strickland’s dog for good measure.

“rAge. Coca Cola Dome. Be there!”

Thats the words uttered to me before I got handed my Press Passes to this event. I looked down at these 2 red swing tags, with a bold PRESS written all over it.

“Err, ok” I stammer. Being a Capetonian, I dont know what this ‘rAge’ is all about. I pop onto their website quickly to check out what its all about.

“The ultimate computer, gaming and technology expo! Now with 60% more floor space!”

“Thats great”, I think to myself. But is it going to be any good? I’ve been to several Computer things in Cape Town, and while they were informative, and nice to go to on a boring Saturday afternoon. But was this to be something extraordinary? Seeing as I AM in Jozi, where everything is surposed to be bigger and better.
