Western Digital's 2TB Caviar Green HDD on sale in Australia

Just as we'd heard, Western Digital is indeed producing (and shipping) a standalone 2TB internal hard drive. Available now for purchase from Mwave Australia, the 3.5-inch WD20EADS sports a 7,200RPM spin speed, 32MB of cache and a AU$377.80 price tag, which converts to just under $250 in greenbacks. We get the feeling that this drive is just hours away from launching here in the US of A (we're guessing the time zones are to blame), so we'll be keeping a close eye out for early reports on performance.

[Thanks, Danny]

可愛小巧的Hello kitty C90手機 (0 回應)

[撰文：icebin]

這款手機相當有趣，外形一看就是相當的可愛，和粉餅盒沒兩樣，而且按鈕也設計的相當配合外形，體積只有64*70*18mm，可以輕鬆放入化妝包，支援MP3/MP4格式，2吋的液晶螢幕，當然還支援藍牙（其實並不需要...），有粉色，藍色和白色供選擇，適合女孩子使用（這不用強調吧...），價格在700RMB左右，看看下面圖庫，可發現C90竟然來自中國地區：

山寨版史努比隨身碟 (1 回應)

第一眼看到這款隨身碟時，直覺反應是好可愛喔，雖然史努比是白色的，產品是粉紅色的，拿來應付一下將要來到的情人節也許是個好主意。再看的時候，結果就發現Snoopy怎麼變成Snoop？我看，在台灣的話，選擇OPEN將隨身碟，應該比較容易討女性友人的歡心。要價6.5美元，約215元台幣。

真正的G2還未出現，山寨版G2已開始預購 (1 回應)

[經由Android使用者論壇，感謝院長]

定價195美元，不到六千五台幣。預計2月2日出貨。山寨版真猛，連真正的G2都還沒有一撇，就先出G2了。先不談有沒有詐騙問題，光是在香港，就沒有機會玩到了。不過，之前在台灣，有破獲黑鑽石仿品，這支G2若在台灣賣，不知會不會被抓？

Olidata Conte ultraportable makes its shiny debut

It doesn't look like this one was actually on display at CES, but Italy's Olidata does seem to have taken the opportunity to announce its shiny new Conte ultraportable, which takes square aim at the growing ranks of 13.3-inch ultra-thin laptops out there. From the looks of it, this one will be available in two different versions: one with a 16:10, 1280x800 display, and one with a 16:9, 1366x768 display, each of which will come equipped with a small form factor Core 2 Duo processor, optional built-in 3G or WiMAX, and a promised battery life of more than four hours (or seven with an extended battery). The 16:10 model will also add a few bonuses like Intel Turbo Memory, a fingerprint reader, a backlit keyboard, and 3GB of RAM as standard. Sadly, there's no indication of a release' round these parts just yet, but both models will supposedly be hitting Europe in May for "less than €1,000" (or somewhere under $1,300).

[Thanks, Faber]

Asus's Eee PC 1000HE pulls the shift key in from right field

Eee's 1000H is generally held to be one of the more complete netbook packages out there, but the placement of the right shift key to the starboard side of the up arrow drives many a touch-typist bonkers. Welcome, then, to the 1000HE, or "extended." It features a chiclet-style keyboard that slightly increases the size of each key, but more importantly has a slightly revised layout, moving that shift key to the left. New too is a six-cell pack full of 2.9 amp batteries (versus 2.7 amps in the 1000H), said to add another hour to the Eee's life, up to a total of 8.7 according to Asus. Finally, the company announced an "HAE" model that sports lacks 802.11n, Bluetooth, and presumably a higher lower price tag. No word on what that price will be on either model, though, or when you might be able to get your fingertips on them.

Update: Whoops, fopkins commented to point out that the HAE actually is the one without Bluetooth and 802.11n, making it the cheaper of the pair.

CES 2009:：MSI X-Slim 320 vs MacBook Air (5 回應)

把 X-Slim 320 和 Macbook Air 一起比較是在所難免的，比較上 X-Slim 320 多寬一點、厚了一點，不過如果大家看看下面的照片集就可知道，兩台機器真的有許多相似的地方，尤其是曲線弧度的部份。不過那又如何，因為這是一台正港大家都買得起的筆電，又有內建 3G 網路、VGA 輸出以及乙太網路插孔，光是這幾點就大快人心了！

Panasonic hoping to launch 64GB SDXC card

SDXC may have a theoretical capacity range of 32GB to 2TB, but Panasonic has already confessed that it's hoping to launch a 64GB card as soon as feasibly possible. Regrettably, pricing and availability is still yet to be determined, but we're going to go out on a limb here and guessing it'll be somewhere between "pricey" and "crazy expensive."

一段時間沒用 Google Earth，沒想到曼哈頓已經變成這副德性了 @@。除了極少數建築（據目測應該少於 5%）還是以前的白方塊之外，其他絕大部份建築都已經變成真實的 3D 模型了。不能去 NY 跨年，看看這個過過乾癮也不錯啦 XD

歐歐 地球要毀滅了 國家儀器你這個幫兇！（誤超大） (4 回應)

[撰文：龔獨生]

由邪惡博士聯盟計畫用來產生黑洞、進一步毀滅地球的大強子對撞機早已被大家所知了，邪惡博士們日以繼夜的進行這個完美的計畫，但是博士們在怎麼厲害，也不是建築工程學的專家，但是邪惡博士們怎可能半途而廢？侵略地球就差這一步了，此時就向全美國蟬聯9年最佳工作環境（耶...這好像沒什麼關係）的NI國家儀器提出請求，而NI為了證明它們的LabVIEW是小自樂高，大到巨大工程都能搞定的萬能軟體，成為邪惡博士聯盟毀滅地球的幫兇之一...以上，誤超大！（被科科們打死）

實際上，NI確實是大強子對撞機結構規劃的幕後推手之一，NI國家儀器是一家自量測儀器起家、但還提供軟體服務的直銷公司，直銷公司？你沒看錯，但是NI可跟X麗不同，NI的業務員，全部是俗稱的專業人士（每個人大致上都是電子電機相關專業背景），一般人想要進去，抱歉，不˙可˙能（所以他台灣的員工也不太多就是了），NI算是整合量測儀器的先驅，它們所提供的量測儀器規格並非業界最強，但是卻是深巨彈性，可以藉由模組化（PCI-E、PXI等介面）進行各種量測需求模組的混搭，這點與安捷倫、太克、立肯或是羅得史瓦姿等高效能單機量測儀器廠商的路線是不同的。

驚悚！Vaio P 更多規格相關細節流出！真的是原子能動力？ (0 回應)

上面那張邀請函，感覺應該是要全球大連線發表的樣子（顯示香港，不過主戰場應該還是在 CES）；總之，隨著一月份一天天的前進，Vaio P 也一點一點的在咱們面前走光光，最新的消息指出，這款螢幕有點寬（螢幕解析度在這批資料反而沒提）的 Sony 全新主打，將會採用時脈在 1.33GHz 的 Atom 處理器（Z520），內建 2GB of RAM、標準硬碟（選購 SSD）、GPS、3G WWAN 網卡（感覺...最後面兩個應該會是加購@@），要價『僅』700 歐（三萬出頭，依照暗黑兵法，加購下去應該也破四萬了吧？如果是標準那可真是佛心來著！）。

CES 快到了！各位準備掏錢吧！
