SSD 3.5 "1TB of RunCore, 500MB / s fast

Looking for 1TB of space? What I would say then that amount of bytes in an SSD with SATA III connection?

The RunCore is launching a new 3.5-inch disk with one terabyte of space to store files, providing you all the speed and security of Solid State Disk technology. And speaking of speed, with this disc you will have a speed of 500 MB/s.

Not yet announced the price of 1TB SSD, but until the product is officially announced in March next year, you can expect a very reasonable value. [Source Engaget]

Renting Movie with a USB Stick

Flix-on-Stix is a renting machine (like vending machine) to rent your beloved movie on USB.  The concept is simple, yet peppered with problems.  Lets cover the concept first…the idea is having a user insert their USB drive into the Flix on Stix kiosk and download a movie.  Great idea…simple, convenient and assuming cheap.

Look just one step deeper and you start asking yourself about transfer times.  The Flix-on-Stix is USB 3.0 enabled, but SuperSpeed flash drives have just ‘barely’ come to market, most will have USB 2.0.  So to download a low quality video will take at least 10 minutes.  Next, what kind of DRM does Flix on Stix use?  We know our USB and their is no universal USB copy protection that will work on PCs, Macs and set-top boxes...

Nokia X7 headed to AT&T

Here we see the photo of the new Nokia X7 - a smartphone that although not officially announced yet, is already showing its faces and it indicates to be a device with  high-end design and very appealing. Mobile-review’s Eldar Murtazin has posted two photos that show an AT&T-branded Nokia X7 – so unless the second largest US carrier cancels the launch in the last minute, the device will certainly hit its shelves. The specifications have not yet been revealed, but what you can tell by the photos is that the device brings an 8-megapixel camera with flash, Symbian OS^3 and 4 speakers in the corners.

Google Shows The First Chrome OS Laptop Called Cr-48

Google will distribute the laptop through its Chrome OS Pilot Program, in a sort of public beta. You actually have to apply to join the program, and there are going to be a limited number of the laptops available. Retail Chrome OS models from Acer and Samsung will be available in the middle of 2011 for the masses. Google is doing a number of little promotions to give away the devices to interested users and businesses which will provide feedback, and it looks like there's no way to actually pay money for one right now. Now, for the specifications:

• 12.1-inch screen
• Full size keyboard
• Oversized clickpad
• Qualcomm Gobi 3G chip for Verizon data in the US, your carrier of choice internationally
• 802.11n dual-band WiFi
• 8+ hours of active use
• 8+ days of standby
• Webcam
• Flash storage

The "Cr-48" refers to an isotope of the material chromium, there's no logo and no design frills on the laptop itself, and it only comes in black. It seems Google is going out of its way to make it clear that this isn't a mass market device, with Chrome OS still in the beta stage, and no apparent intentions to compete with third parties in the hardware space.

Power Your iPhone with iFan - Wind Power

This charger for iPhone is different from the ones we have seen before. It uses wind power so you will have to hold it where there is wind. The user who created this mod claims that it took him a good six hours to charge the phone, which probably is a little longer than most folks are willing to wait. Still, if you're by the beach at night and your phone is in need of a charge, it could come in handy. The user also thinks that he can reduce a few charging hours by redesigning the fan blades to be more efficient, which would be a welcome improvement. [Source Techzine]

Kwikset Door Lock Killer

A company called DG3 Locksmithing based out of Gilbert, AZ has a product called "LockKill", which renders any Kwikset door lock permanently disabled, preventing it from being picked, bumped, or jimmied.

The LockKill is a key with a notch at the end. You insert the key, then turn it, and the end snaps off, remaining lodged inside the lock. The product is intended to keep evicted renters from reentering a home, until the landlord can get the locks changed.
