MIT Develops Software to Replace Post-its
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Science, Software,
A team of MIT computer scientists decided to develop software to combine all those sticky notes with a result that it will enter, store and retrieve information. Michael Bernstein claims the team is not trying to replace Post-its, just understand the “classes of things people do with Post-its and see if we can help users do more of what they wanted to do in the first place.”
What started out as a 2007 simple study became a larger project. The systems devised include a program to capture broad content and one that streamlines note taking. The team found that if too much effort is required to store the data, most people won’t bother. We admit that we would miss our collage of paper scraps that adorn our desk.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Storage, USB,
We are constantly amused by how many electronic devices can be shoved into one functioning unit. This one combines a 1GB MP3 Player, an FM tuner, and a 2.0 flash/jump drive, with a removable cap for access, all in one. It supports MP3 and WMA formats, has a customizable backlit display, and runs on an included AAA battery. Both a stereo music earphone and USB cable are included in the $18.50 price.

New Xbox Live Hard Drive Pack Shipping on Nov. 4th
Posted by Ponzi Black Categories: Accessories, Microsoft, Storage, Video Games,
A new Xbox Live pack is coming to the US next week on November 4th. The pack is mainly for those who don’t yet have a hard drive on their Xbox 360, but is a decent upgrade if you have the original 20GB hard drive, and are in need of more space. The $99 bundle includes a 60GB hard drive, Xbox Live headset, and 3-months of Xbox Live Gold. The upgrade comes just weeks before the new Xbox Live Experience dashboard upgrade on November 19th. The hard drive should allow much more storage if you plan to use the Netflix subscription service on your 360 and want to store all of your media which also debut’s on the 19th. There is also a $30 upgrade option for the 20GB hard drive being offered due to the New Xbox Experience requirements which will not work if you lack a hard drive.

Wearable Flash Drives
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Wearables, Storage,
Wearable USB flash drives are more commonplace every day, but it’s not often that they actually come in such a unique style. What could be better than the Skull Drive that comes in 8 colors? It has 2GB storage and a designer price of $145.00. Too pricey? Wait for the Lisco USB Snake Bracelet to become more than a prototype. Made of polyurethane, the retro device snaps on your wrist, ankle, backpack, etc.

HP USB Floppy Drive Key
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Storage,
HP’s newest USB flash drive does more than just the usual storage chores. The Floppy Drive Key has a switch that will allow you to go from USB 2.0 to, as the name implies, become a floppy drive. This is good news for those of us who have older computers that still have one and not enough USB ports. The plug and play device comes in a 256MB version for $49.00 and 1GB for $79.00. We figure the plainness of it is more than made up for by its pulling double duty.
