A report in the Nikkei Business Daily said that Hitachi GST is developing a five terabyte 3.5-inch hard drive aimed at the PC market. But Santa Claus and his reindeer are not about to drop it into your Christmas stocking any time soon. The newspaper said that Hitachi is aiming to bring it to market by 2010. There are some problems and one of those is that to get to one terabit per square inch of platter, each sector has got to me smaller than 20 nanometres. The article said Hitachi GST - which took over IBM's hard drive business - will work with Hitachi Maxwell to develop the drive.

Billy Bob thornton is not thought to have been amongst the real bad santas A gang of "Santas" cut a trail of havoc across New Zealand's biggest city in what was meant to be a protest against the commercialisation of Christmas.

The gang first drew attention when they appeared on a motorway bridge on Saturday afternoon to urinate on passing cars and smash beer bottles, police said.

The New iPod
Posted by harry (12 Comments)	Wed Oct 12th '05 11:23:14 PM
Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more. Again. In lighter, thinner 30GB and 60GB models starting at $299, the new iPod is music to your eyes. ... The new iPod boasts up to 20 hours of battery life(5), five hours more than before. Plus, you get a bigger display and one more iPod color — sleek black. But here’s the kicker: At under half an inch thin, the new 30GB iPod takes up about 45 percent less room than the original iPod. Even the new 60GB model is 10 percent thinner than the fourth-generation 20GB iPod. More features in less space? Sounds like iPod.
