First time I saw the description of the device I though “hah, they misspelled the company”. But this is not Logitech, it is actually another company called Logitec from Japan. Pretty tricky if you ask me. So Logitec announced production of this micro router.

The dimensions of this pocket size router LAN-WG/RA are 6.2×8.2×1.9 cm and weight of 55 g. Really tiny device that can be converted and used as access point. It supports the following encryption standards: WPA2(AES), WPA(TKIP) and WEP128/64 bit.

Working on the computer could be very stressful sometimes.

Imagine the following: the deadline of your project is fast approaching. You restlessly worked several hours or even days and suddenly CRASH! An error occurs and all your work is LOST? You burst into anger  and want to destroy the  computer, to vaporize  its compounds, or to simply find and kill the IT-s.

Enough!
Take this USB gadget in hand and take the stress away by squashing and twisting it. And if you think that this is not enough – take a look at the screen: all your actions are displayed!

The desktop will pull, squeeze, fold and flex as you do the same on the skittle-shaped device.

The stress ball is powered by USB with 4 feet cable, it has dimensions of approximately 5×5x10 cm and weigh 95 g. And even more – the software package includes some squeeze and strength games, so you can use for recreational purpose too.

After few minutes of anti-stress therapy, when your computer rage pass away, you may find that in the message displayed there are some recovery option, or it is just some working message and hopefully your work is safe.

The company Fusion-io presented the fastest disk drive in the world. This is ioDrive Duo – a Solid State Drive (SSD), storage device created on the basis of flash technology.

The device is capable of incredible data transfer rate: 1400 MB/sec for recording and 1500 MB/sec for reading, while the access latency is less than 50 microseconds. This means that full HD movie copying will take about 30 seconds!

The ioDrive Duo is mounted in standard PCI slot and work with PCI Express x8 or PCI Express 2.0 x4 BUS interface. With use of coupled memory sticks a RAID-1 massive can be created from a single device.

In stores are available ioDrive Duo devices with capacity of 160, 320 and 640 GB, and the company promised 1,28 TB device by the autumn of 2009.

Yet the problem is with the price – 320 GB ioDrive Duo costs 14 400 $. But, as the history says, the prices of first classic hard drives were tremendous too.
