With solid state drives on the rise as the new standard hard drive, and mechanical drives headed to the days of the CD, it’s very likely we will be seeing SSDs completely replace mechanical drives in the near future. Today, I will be reviewing a new 240GB SSDNow from Kingston (model SV300S3D7), who was very generous and sent one out for review. Throughout the contents of this review I will be discussing the following topics: what an SSD is, unboxing of the unit, features, performance/specifications, and finally my overall thoughts. Figure 1 – Hard drive size comparison with two Kingston…
Last week marked the official time of the end of the partnership between Beats Audio and the smartphone manufacturing giant, HTC. Just under a month ago, rumors spread that Beats Audio had plans to move away from HTC entirely. Looking to buy back the remaining 25% stake that HTC holds, Beats Audio put up $265 million to reacquire the minority stake. Even though Beats is now an unrestricted company again it seems as if they are still looking for a new owner. CEO and Co-founder of Beats, Jimmy Iovine, had this to say about the final transaction: “These transactions represent…
Microsoft has announced that just over 37,000 total requests, from five major countries, have been sent to them regarding collecting user data about their customers.

Has Verizon gotten confused on purchasing companies? Well no. Verizon has now “officially” regained 100% share in Verizon Wireless, for a purchase of $130 Billion. Back in 1999, Verizon sold 45% share of Verizon Wireless to the British carrier, Vodafone, to assist with getting Verizon Wireless into the global market. The payment to Vodafone is a hefty one as Verizon will pay a mix of $58.9 billion in cash, $5 billion in notes and $60.2 billion in common stock for Verizon. Also included in the deal, Verizon will sell its minority shares in Vodafone back to them for $3.5 billion;…
Random-access memory (RAM) is where the PC stores a relatively small amount of ephemeral data that is more rapidly accessed by the Central Processor Unit (CPU) rather than data stored on a long-lasting memory device, such as hard drive or CD. Unlike data that are stored on long-lasting memory devices, information within RAM is lost when there is no power. While either buying or upgrading RAM it can become tricky, as purchasing the incorrect type of RAM and attempting to install it within your PC could cause your PC not to boot at all. Throughout this article is a complete…

Way back in January of this year, Dell enquired about returning to being a private company and leaving the stock market for good. Originally, a part of the NASDAQ market, Dell’s CEO and founder, Michael Dell, stated that he will gain control along with Silver Lake Partners, to control Dell for the future. Such moves will allow Dell to innovate and prove new designs much more quickly as the company no-longer needs to please shareholders. Finally, Dell won’t have the expectations of Wall Street hanging over them. Buying out of the market wasn’t easy, as it took some cash from…
Motorola’s newest flagship smartphone, under Google’s Control, the Moto X, is proud to carry the title of “Made in the U.S.A”. This is the first ever smartphone to be manufactured in the US, and personally I find that to be one of the greatest things about this new phone. Being manufactured at Fort Worth, Texas, Motorola is actually able to save money compared with having it be built over seas. Most of us Americans may think that the manufacturing costs would be quite the opposite, as here in America we require reasonable pay, insurance, and other essentials. However, according to…
