  1. On Sept. 13th 1956 IBM made history with the invention of the first Hard Drive. It weighed about a ton, and with 50-24" disks it could store a mind-blowing 5MB. Not to mention that it cost $250,000 (in todays dollars) per year to LEASE. Pretty soon it will probably hear from you neighboor "Yeah, I just bought a five-petabyte hard disk for my company, it only cost me $50,000." Possibly in the very near future, drives with "mere" hundreds of gigabytes will be small enough to wear as jewelry. says Bill Healy, an executive at Hitachi, which acquired IBM's storage business in 2003.
  2. I thought this was interesting, now your beating on your laptop does something useful Sounds pretty cool to me Notice from KuBi: Copied from http://www.ibm.com/us-en/ with various small words altered. Warning issued.
  3. Most of us have been one at one time or another, maybe even on a regular basis. Its a fun thing to do (at times) and most of us laptop users have no other way to access the internet. I am talking about being a Wi-Fi Pirate. This can also get you (the owner of the network, not the Pirate) in legal trouble if your network is used to spam others or distribute illegal material. It also gives you the headache of your bandwidth being sucked away by an 'invisible' computer. Most of us know that enabling encryption, or requiring a password is an easy way to deter most pirates. But, instead why not have a little fun with their marbles by oh, redirecting all there traffic to a specific site or flipping every picture upside down, or making the page blurry? Thanks to pete at ex-parrot you can split your network in half, with an encrypted section for yourself and an unsecured, tweaked section for the pirates. Here is the guide on how to do the whole thing: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html Notice from BuffaloHELP: Title modified.
  4. You can watch a DVD on an iPod Video, PSP, or even your mobile phone! If you use a PSP you need to place the video on your memory stick (or Hard Drive if your lucky enough to have one). To place the videos on your iPod simply import them into iTunes or use an alternative software such as Anapod Explorer. This tutorial uses CloneDVD Mobile, although you can also use Nero Digital to convert DVDs to MP4. First, you need to decrypt the DVD. I recommend AnyDVD (https://www.redfox.bz/en/) for this. It has a fully functional 21-day trial that will suit perfectly for this tutorial. If you use AnyDVD it automatically decrypts the DVD so not even your OS knows the DVD is encrypted. Next, start CloneDVD Mobile: There should be a screen like this: Select the appropriate device and click "Next". At this screen, click the button on the upper right hand side of the program (the one that has two arrows pointing at each other) and select the "Video_TS" folder from the DVD. (i.e. E:\VIDEO_TS\) If you copied the files to your hard drive, select that folder instead. (i.e. C:\THE_BEST_MOVIE_EVER\VIDEO_TS\) Once you select your DVD, CloneDVD Mobile may switch to the "Preview" tab and start previewing the pre-selected title, which is most often the main movie. If the preview is not the main movie, the click on the main movie (usually the longest one) using the right side of the screen. If you want to only convert a specific chapter of the movie, then click the cut icon (it looks like small scissors) on the left side. This will make chapter marks appear, as well as a bar with marks on the side, slide the left mark to where you want the cut to start and the right mark where you want the cut to end. Now it is time to select what audio tracks you want converted. If multiple tracks are present, CloneDVD Mobile will organize them by language. Also please note that using a 5.1-channel track (especially if you plan on using headphones) is a big waste of valuable space that could be use to improve the quailty of your video. Once you have selected your audio track click "Next". This will take you to the output method window. This will let you check over your setting to make sure everything is how you want it. You will also notice a slider that is in the middle of the right side. This is the quailty bar and varies from 13 to 33. The default is 23. Below the quailty bar it will ask for your PSP root drive. In My Computer it should be "Removeable Disk" or similar. Select the drive and click "OK". If you wish you can place the files anywhere on your PCs Hard Drive and transfer the files later. Enter the filename to write will automatically be filled in so your PSP can see the movie under "Videos". Pay good attention to how the file is named, because if the file is randomly named it won't show up under Video. The last option is Label. This is where you should put the name of the video material you are converting (like the name of a TV Episode or whatever). Click "GO!" and your video will start converting. Keep the Log tab open on this screen in case something goes wrong. If you want your computer to shut down when its finished converting the video simply check the box next to the option "Automatically shut down the computer when done". If this tutorial isn't clear enough, please send me a message or reply here. I will gladly try to help as much as I can.
  5. Machinima - A process of taking computer generated images (CGI), usually a player in the game used as the "camera man", and blending it togeather with pre-recorded audio, thus making a (short) movie.These types of videos are all over the web and are usually no longer then 10 minutes.Some of the more famous machinima productions include:Red vs Blue - A hilarious project created by Rooster Teeth Productions, its story line is about the "Civil War" between the Red and Blue sides at Blood Gulch. (Please note: The production contains strong language).Potentior - This project is based with the video game "Rome - Total War". Its a forty-minute long reproduction of the Battle of Alesia.The Strangerhood - Also produced by Rooster Teeth Productions, is the story of eight neighborhood occupants who wake up having no idea who they are, where they are, or how they got there.
