Silent Cube for long-term storage on hard drives

Hard drives are not particularly suitable for long term storage of data, because they tend to be torn up and broken. But Silent Cube is a technically interesting solution!
Silent Cube is not for home users, we can conclude from the start. But it's still pretty cool! Basically it is an external storage device whose purpose is to stay as long as possible.
In order to do this utilizes twelve hard drives that mirror each other in a way that allows up to four of the disks may break, without losing any information. By using four drives each from three different vendors to propagate the risks of further problems.

The capacity of the Silent Cube is scalable up to petabyte-area. This is done by using multiple devices. Each Silent Cube has 4TB of storage. To deal with Silent Cube needed a rack mount head unit with NAS interface, and such controls up to 128 units.
Silent Cube distributed in Sweden by the Optical Storage. A basic package with the main unit and a Silent Cube has a target price of approximately 100 000 SEK.

Review: Small speakers from Philips for laptops

There are very few laptops that have built-in speakers worth mentioning. Most are gruesomely bad, so would you listen to music, you should get a couple of external. Philips Multimedia Speakers 2.0 is small and can manage the power from USB.
Philips small speakers in white, black and yellow. They are pretty to look when placed together with the computer, at least if you have a computer that is white.Together with my metallic colored laptop cut it, however, entitled significantly in design, and the speakers suddenly looked very plastic.
The purpose of the speakers is primarily to the use of laptop computers. I certainly think they are just a bit to clumsy to be dismantled in a computer bag. Do you have an ordinary flat panel computer bag will you get knöka properly to get them down.

From the right speaker is three wires , one to the left speaker, one who you connect to your computer's audio output and one that connects to an available USB port on your computer. The latter is used for the speakers to get power. There is therefore no external power supply, but it is enough USB port. It is smooth.
On the underside of the speakers is a deepening and a small device to spin up the wiring to. It's good, because otherwise it becomes a small white viper's nest of wires.

Sound quality is absolutely acceptable

In the case of such small speakers to get forward its own demands on a different level than when testing ordinary speakers. First, the speakers so small, but most of all, you can not squeeze out what seems like forever when you're limited in power from the USB port.
Philips Multimedia Speakers 2.0 can do really well. You will not be able to use them for the dance floor down in the rec room, but to listen to music while sitting at your computer running absolutely fine. The sound is relatively good quality and is actually pulling up the volume quite well.
The price of Philips speakers is around 300 SEK, depending on where you shop somewhere. There is an agreed price.

It's fun to grub in the system

I've been a Windows user since the mid 1990's. Before that I drove the Amiga and Vic-64. Sure, I have test driven a lot of Linux, and Mac I've used a lot because I was educated typographer and works with newspapers. Therefore, I consider myself to have enough meat on the bones when I say that I think Windows is the best operating system .

The main reason is now that I'm used to. I can, and has been around since Windows 3.11. I have learned to make the system work as I want, by adapting it for my own taste, fellösa and look the little things I can tune to get better performance. And so on.

Mac users tend to always mock me for this. Why not get a Mac where you do not have to keep on fiddling the system?The answer to this, that I like to grub around in the system ! I want control of the operating system and be able to choose exactly what is running in the background.
Thanks to these opportunities, I have not had to change the computer very often.When it starts to go slow, just down the round and get back performance. It can safely do on the Mac also, of course - I do not write it here to start the OS war, but to explain why I prefer Windows.
When I sit down at a friend's computer and find it extremely tough, I can not help but to trim it. With old habits I go through all the background programs, run antispyware and cleaning, removes debris and uninstall unnecessary units. They are always happy when they can use his computer normally again, and I still think it's fun.
