The problem with the software world today is that they are platform dependant. Not all of them but the majority. Application are being made as windows only or mac only. Linux being open source has a sot of application built for it with source code available. Thus open source application generally are available as source linux binaries and windows binaries . in a sense open source is more cross platform than closed source application a generalisation but the numbers support it.

It’s problem that doesn’t seen to be solvable microsoft will release application programming interfaces to developers but they are obviously not going to release source code. Cross platform applications need to run on a different layer from the os something that is installable on any os something like’s sun’s java. Which runs anywhere and allows . java based applications to be run on any operating system . java has invaded the mobile phone markets as well and anything from games to software applications are now installable on your phone.

Every family has its black sheep every armour a chink batteries and hard drives have come to be the bane of technology’s existence hard drives are bottlenecks and batteries just don’t last as long as they should especially now that they are gaining in importance with everything shifting towards mobile computing and sadly they have been found wanting desperately.

Enter the sugar battery .it’s still a fuel cell but in this case the fuel is anything that contains sugar even soft drindks. It this catches on you will be sharing your coke with your phone and laptop. Not only do these batteries last up to four dimes longer than lithium based batteries they are easy to recharge ar e bio degradable an d run on sugar . so you keep wondering when someone will yell april fool ! such innovations are desperately required in the battery segment. The cange this promised is radical because we might soon se ourselves refilling our own batteries and never running out of charge.

The emperor’s new web we like to call it . Everyone’s talking about it and no one knows what web 2. 0 is .yes no one . if crowds have wisdom this is entirely the emperor phenominon how can no one know what it is . 68million google results for the term later you will seen no two people agreeing upon a definition. What’s worse it that all these definitions are a what of time .

Think about a google os . what web x.0.or x.3.12 . would that be . would it be a web at all . it would be more like sun’s the compute so well how about a computer 1.1.0.3. then think about our personalised web where reconnaissance agents fetch you your page same question.

The sub head in a seminal web 2.0 defining document by tim o reilly of o reilly publishing went the eeb as platform . harnessing collective intelligence. End of the software release cycle.

A certain dmblackthorn commented . a lot of people o the interweb find this web 2.0 a bit confusing . why can’t we just call it like it is the interweb . 2.0 thumbs up for dmblckthorn!

We have only included sata hard drives this time sidelining ide completely. Ide will live on for at least a couple of years more but we want to present you the ground reality. Sata is in and ide is on its way to a speedy exit. One of the things helping the sata cause is the fact that even entry level motherboards ship with sata controllers today . granted ide drives are still being sole but the fact remains that there are very few of them and future development prospects are too dim to warrant a shootout.

Of the 21 sata drives we pitted against each other two were from Hitachi two from Maxtor four from samsung .three form Seagate and there was a large contingent of 10 from western digital. All the brands were thus represented adequately to give you as wide a perspective as we possibly can about the drives available in the market today.

FEATURES CAPACITY

The Hitachi deskstar 7k1000 with a huge 1 tb capacity was the largest internal sata drive we have ever laid our hands on. This drive featuring perpendicular recording technology featured a platter density of 250 mb the highest we have seen so far shattering the previous record of 188 set by the Seagate barracuda 7200.9 st3750640as.

When it comes to sharing your data or simply synchronizing data between your office and hom . external hard drives ply a vital role. The best thing is that you do not need to open your cabinet to transfer data just plug it into the usb port an play!

We selected 13 drives for this test. Of these two were from lomega five from wd three from maxtor one from Philips and two were from seagate.

BACKUP EXERNAL HARD DRIVES

These drives are meant for large and frequent backups . capacities start from 250gb. And the process are considerable y higher too. Most of them come with backup software of some kind and special features such as back up buttons. Fire wire ports are common too. These drives are bulkier than those in the portable drive category as they seldom need to be carried around. System administrators rather than home users are the consumers for this category of external hard drives.

There was a 250 gb lomega a 500 gb and a 1 tb drive from Maxtor three 500 gb and one 1 tb drive from wd a 250 gb drive form Philips and a 750 gb drive from seagate in this category.
