Primera have launched the Blu-ray Disc Duplication system which is a worlds first for the new highly anticipated format. 50 discs can be loaded in to this device with a potential of 50Gb each. This makes….. 2.5Tb to my calculations of backup space. From what I am reading about this device, it has some funky robotics type thing and also can print direct to disc via a bubblejet printer. The unit is rack mountable and more then 1 can be stacked… just incase 2.5Tb is not quite enough room.

According to Gaston and TheInquirer a Dell set on fire in a conference. It was on the table at 1 point and then accompanied by flames shortly after. It makes me wonder if I want to take my battery powered devices on a plane, or even leave them around anywhere. Hopefully it was just something like he dropped a drink on a battery and it shorted or something. It can be kind of scary seeing things like this happen. No doubt Dell will be looking at these pictures around the internet thinking "oh dear".

Have you ever found your self in a situation where you wonder if you are being watched by hidden cameras? I cant say that I really have, but it would seem to Spy Finder that they are very concious of this being a problem and have now invented a hidden camera finder.
It uses a ring of very bright LED's and when you look through a viewing port you can suddenly see that big brother is watching you.

This is a phone I have been waiting for. Ever since I saw my first RAZR phone a couple of years back I have been impressed with the size of these phones. The new Capri, RAZR Slider is a nice new addition to the pack. It features a new UI called Synergy which is supposed to be a nice improvement (hopefully as easy as Nokia's UI).
