Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station NOW AVAILABLE!

At CES, they unveiled the almighty powerful Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station. The more I saw it, read the description and saw demos, the more I want it.

To sum it all up, it simply isn’t a simple simplistic router. It has the standard specs – 802.11 b/g/n… a simple router that could and did it.

What sets it apart from everyone is that it’s a powerhouse in one tiny device that even the Apple AirPort Express is a mere fart.

Boasting not one, but FOUR USB ports for easy hard drive, printer and media sharing (yea, you heard me right, MEDIA SHARING! PS3 and XBox fans rejoice!), you get a network hard drive router, print server, media center and more:

  • Wireless backup (including Time Machine compatability)
  • Hard drive mirroring (with a touch of a button)
  • iTunes compatability (so you won’t need to put all your humongous songs in your computer hard drive, you just simply tuck it away inside a portable hard drive. Leaving you with more space for important stuff.)
  • Free software – TrendMicro Internet Security, EMC Retrospect Express Backup software, Iomega QuickProtect and MozyHome Online Backup  Service.

SDXC

Ever heard of SD HC (Secure Digital High Capacity)? Welp, SD XC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity), is supposedly the Next Gen of SD HC.

sdxc

Recent reports (which by the way have been proven true already) say that the NEW SD XC will outperform its older generation far better and mightier than the HCs. Simply put, more speed, more capacities. How big, you say? Well, it starts at 32GB (the highest its been in todays market) to a whopping, ground-breaking, breath-taking 2TB !!! YEEESSSHHHH… 2TB!!! You may never have to empty your SD cards EVER AGAIN! Well this might not be much of interest to Photographers, it is most definitely pointing towards the Movie business… simply put, more memory = more movie.

At today’s rate, a 4GB card can record a 720p video for 2 hours… now think what a 2TB card can hold! Only problem they need to solve now is the battery!

SD might be big News enough but you do know it has a sibling, right? The mini SD? Well… heh heh… its getting an upgrade too. Brothers unite! The mini SD Card will as well have the capacities of 32GB – 2TB. Think how many music lovers and cellphone enthusiasts there’ll be when this unravels… I’m guessing that when it’s released, it’ll be of a higher but reasonable price but as the market goes on… i’m pretty sure a terabyte of memory will be a common thing to know.

Left4Dead’s New Update: Survival Pack

The long anticipation is over. The update’s here! Vavle‘s awesome game of the year, Left4Dead has brought waves of zombie lovers all over the world. From tactics, to planning to surviving to keeping each other alive… or not! Left4Dead is pretty much the best zombie game ever made! Since its release in 2007, it has brought many fans the excitement it can muster. But 2007 is so not today! People want more!

And so, with Valve’s ingenious updates, Left4Dead has brought itself to a whole new level that people will love. Although we didn’t get new maps for Left4Dead, Valve has released the Editor! Not only can you edit and make the game yourself, you can play it and share it with your friends.

Some new features in the maps are the updated building architechture; in other words, more hiding spaces for the infected. It has added new rooms and has given the players new places to duck and cover. Also, in the update, they’ve made the Versus Mode available to all the maps. They’ve also put a distinction between the Versus maps and the Campaign maps.

They’ve also updated the infected’s powers, so to say. They’ve given players more control over the Tank and had its health last a little bit longer. They’ve updated the blinding bile from the Boomer; and yes, you really can’t see anything. Given more pounce-ablility to the hunter and a longer range for the smoker. Also, depending on what the skill levels of the players are, they’ve modded the horde so they can spawn quickly in quick attacks.

As stated in Steam:

Survival Mode:

New Gameplay Mode

16 NEW Maps including Last Stand

Leaderboards; and

7 NEW Achievements

Versus Mode:

2 NEW Versus Campaigns

Fixing the scores even thought the scoreboard has opened up

And more…

All in all, this is, by far, the best update ever! I’m off to go see the new maps! So, we’ll see. I’ll try to make my own levels too. As soon as I’m done with all my projects and exams and jobs. Hehe :)
