Thailand Flood drastically increases Harddrive price!

Prices were reaching an all time low for all sizes until a monsoon hit Thailand. Prices are hovering around 50-60 for a terabyte (1000GB) hard drive now the prices are closer to $140. And its not just Western Digital's hard-drives Segate and Samsung also have manufacturing facilities in Thailand that have been effected by the flood.

Best solution? Buy and SSD drive instead as the prices are almost the same now :)

Hopefully in a few months the prices go back down.

First 16 Core CPU

We have all heard of quad core and the newly released 6 and 8 core cpu's but AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) Is stepping it up and offering a 16 core cpu designed for server use. For a relatively cheap price of $600 compared to $3500 for intel's 8 core this cpu is going to be very popular amongst server users.

New Cannon Digital Camera Processor!

Featuring faster camera operation and unheard of noise reduction this new cpu is bring new life into cannon's line of cameras. Compared to the already great digic 4 this cpu creates 75% less noise and is 6X faster and on top of all that is capable of full 1080p video. Avaible in Cannons new S100 and SX 40 HS models this would be a great high end camera for anyone looking for an upgrade!

Nexus Prime or Iphone 4s?

Two top of the line phones with two very distinct interfaces. Those who love simplicity and ease of use should aim towards the Iphone. Those who love customization and tinkering around with settings should aim towards any android phone. The galaxy nexus also features android 4.0 which is not only fast its also beautiful on samsung's 4.6" Super amoled plus screen on the galaxy nexus. Which phone would you prefer?!

Battlefield 3 OR Modern Warfare 3?

First off I'm back its been awhile! Anyway recently released these two popular games strike massive controversy between gamers. Modern warfare 3 is more of a classic run and gun arena game that many people have come to love. Battlefield 3 is more of a War simulation game with many vehicles.

Which do you prefer! Please leave a comment!

Amd Bulldozer (8 core cpu) Delayed

Originally scheduled for Q2 2011 the release date of the upcoming bulldozer cpu has been moved to late august. Some bad news for AMD because Intel's enthusiast extreme series X79 is supposed to release Q4 with tri-gate transistor technology.

For system builders needing a new system now I would recommend purchasing an am3+ motherboard with a cheap athlon processor the act as the placeholder until the bulldozer releases.

UEFI to replace BIOS

The Bios, a small old chip that in every computer is the first line of code your computer processes when it powers on. It detects what system hardware is active/ available and then loads the operating system.

The problem with the BIOS chip is that it it old, outdated, and inefficient. The BIOS will soon be replaced by another technology called UEFI which is a very quick alternative that will completely eliminate slow boot times and common post errors on PC's.

All in all its just another technology just like the harddrive that has been used for many years and is being replaced with better, faster hardware.
