Corsair’s 128GB Flash Voyager GTR thumb drive takes USB 2.0 to new heights

Filed under: Technology & Science 

Who needs USB 3.0 adapters when you’ve got Corsair, right? In a feat of engineering that can only be described as earth-shattering (or supercalifragilistic, if you prefer), said outfit has somehow created a USB 2.0 flash drive that not only beats the competition in head-to-head speed tests, but obliterates it. The 128GB Flash Voyager GTR utilizes a fancy quad-channel architecture in order to deliver read speeds up to 34MB/sec and write speeds up to 28MB/sec, which is around six times faster than some mysterious competitor that the company pit its drive against. There’s no mention of a price or release just yet, but at least you can put off the inevitable leap to SuperSpeed USB for a few more months, right?

Researchers shows off self-contained, 9mm solar power system

March 3, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Technology & Science 
Advances in solar power aren’t always the most immediately exciting sort of developments (a more efficient solar panel still looks like a solar panel), but this new solar power system developed at the University of Michigan certainly won’t have any trouble turning a few heads. Not only is it 1,000 times smaller than any comparable commercial counterpart (just 9 cubic millimeters), but its processor, solar cells, and battery are all self-contained, and the researchers say it would be be able to operate “nearly perpetually” if not for the battery eventually giving out after “many years.” What’s more, they say the system could also be adapted to be powered by movement or heat instead of light, which means that it could eventually power medical implants in addition to a whole range of other devices. No word on when that might happen, but the inventors are already busily working to commercialize the device. Extreme close-up after the break.

Missouri Ends Drive on McGwire’s Highway of Deception

March 3, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment

Filed under:

It’s a stretch along I-70 that welcomes people to downtown St. Louis, like a welcome mat, really. A first impression. And the Missouri Senate has voted unanimously to take down the signs showing its honorary name and change that stretch to Mark Twain Highway. It had been this:

Mark McGwire Highway.

So at least the government is hitting the right Mark now.

I’m sure there is some good lesson in this, but my first thought is this:

One of America’s great literary figures is Plan B to a cheating baseball player. Somehow, this is a cross between an insult to Twain and straight comedy.

“When a person cannot deceive himself, the chances are against his being able to deceive other people,” Twain once wrote.

You see how timeless he was? It’s as if he said that right after McGwire’s testimony in Washington at the steroid hearing.

The road had been named after Twain, and then was switched in 1999, the year after McGwire hit 70 home runs.

That’s 70 more, after all, than Huck Finn ever hit.
