SanDisk is claiming to have announced the world’s fastest 32GB SDHC flash memory card with a Class 10 performance rating.

The cards are also compatible with the new MacBook Pro line with SD slots.The 32GB SanDisk Extreme SDHC card supports read and write speeds up to 30MBps. These speeds help support the overall system of a camera while taking pictures in rapid succession. If a

It’s hard to believe that the machine we’ll be inspecting in the pages ahead is actually real and shipping. It’s not so much a feat of engineering as it is a feat in product development. You see, we just wrapped up our evaluation of Asus’ 1008HA Seashell three weeks ago, and already we’re being treated to the second “Seashell” model to ship stateside, the Eee PC 1005HA.The 1005HA is undoubtedly a member of the expanding Eee PC lineup, and while it’s numbered lower than the aforesaid 1008HA, there are actually

Man, what a month for cellphones! The Palm Pre, iPhone 3GS and T-Mobile myTouch 3G were just the beginning, as HTC has revealed its newest smartphone in back-to-back launch events in London and New York. While the handset hums along on Android, it’s not a typical version of the OS. HTC asserts that its Hero is the world’s first Android-based phone with a customized user interface, a feature it’s calling “Sense.”The Hero doesn’t look all that different that the T-Mobile G1. There’s still a crooked chin, a full

NZXT Cryo S Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“The NZXT Cryo S notebook cooler is a very well made laptop cooler that does its primary function well, while also providing several secondary benefits – such as the USB hub on the back, and the added benefit of having a keyboard that is tilted as to improve ergonomics. While the cooler didn't pack as large of a punch as its bigger brother, the Cryo LX, it is also quite a bit smaller, and perfectly fits my 15″ MacBook Pro. This isn't really a cooler that you would take on a trip with you as it is rather large and bulky, but this is a problem that most people won't be affected by. As seen below, I have given the Cryo S our gold medal, which is one away from our highest award. This is due to the fact that on some laptops, especially Macs, the power provided by the USB ports cannot match the power drawn by the fans, meaning that the only option is to plug the cooler directly into the wall. Other than that one issue, this is an excellent cooler that will have a place on my desk for a while.”

Netflix is one of the few companies today that continues to enjoy success despite the tough economy. However, there’s another rental company run by one of Netflix’s former lieutenants that’s giving the company some good competition: Redbox.Redbox began as an experiment at McDonald’s restaurants. The group running Redbox grew from 12 machines to about 900 in three years. By the middle of 2005, the company was itching to expand beyond McDonalds. McDonalds then agreed to let Redbox seek another partner. In 2005

IBM's “Roadrunner” supercomputer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory held on to its title as the world's fastest computer, followed once again by Cray's “Jaguar”. IBM's “Roadrunner” has held this title since June 2008!

The biannual Top500 list, released Tuesday at the 2009 International Supercomputing Conference, also saw two new systems enter the top 10. Both systems — the IBM BlueGene/P called Jugene and the Juropa, which is built from Novascale and Sun Microsystems Sun Blade x6048 server — were at Forschungszentrum Juelich in Germany. The Jugene achieved 825.5 teraflops and the Juropa 274.8 teraflops. A teraflop is a trillion floating point operations per second. But the IBM Roadrunner remained the king with 1.105 petaflops. The system became the first to break the petaflop barrier in June 2008. The Cray XT5 Jaguar system at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory was a close second at 1.059 petaflops. A petaflop is a quadrillion floating point operations per second. IBM's Jugene entered the top 10 as No. 3.

The new My Book World Edition II network storage systems came out today and we have the 2TB model (WDH2NC20000) on the test bench to see how it performs. Read on to see how to map the drive, configure the backup software, and to see how fast files can transfer on a gigabit network.

Matrox Graphics today announced the availability of the Matrox M9138 and Matrox M9148 DisplayPort graphics cards. Expanding the M-Series product line, these new triple- and quad-monitor cards offer a remarkable 1 GB of memory, and with support for independent or stretched mode at resolutions up to 2560×1600 per output, users can drive business, industrial, and government applications on an exceptional multi-monitor platform.

“The first generation of Matrox DisplayPort graphics cards bring a tremendous amount of flexibility to today's DisplayPort users,” says Samuel Recine, Director of Business Development, Matrox Graphics. “Not only can users choose any combination of pivoted, independent, or stretched displays, but also have the opportunity to combine two M9148 cards in a single system to drive up to eight DisplayPort or DVI monitors.”

With broadband speeds on the rise elsewhere in the world, we’re proud to see Verizon bumping the rates of its fiber-based FiOS Internet Service. Available in far too few places in the US, this service is known for its blazing fast download rates. But know, it’ll be known for its blazing fast upload rates. With the use of YouTube and video sharing on the rise, upload rates are becoming just as important. These days, most folks have plenty of downlink–it’s the uplink that’s lagging way behind. Starting this week,

Adobe is preparing to launch Flash Player 10 for most mobile platforms later this year. Although widely used around the Web, Flash is often considered too resource intensive for smartphones. This new mobile version is set to change that. Supported platforms will include Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and WebOS. Flash Player 10 for mobile devices will enable smartphones to deliver a richer Internet browsing experience. The platform will also support development of web-based applications, theoretically freeing
