Hardware Updates
I wanted to provide some updates on two pieces of hardware I recently discussed. Back in June I talked about several different flavors of headphones. Just recently there was an update to the top-notch Bose line. The Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones come with excellent sound quality and a price that matches. One reviewer said "Needless to say, it's the best $300 I have ever spent." I personally haven't tried a set and I probably don't listen to headphones enough to justify them, but I still am a bit envious of those who have them.
Two weeks ago I talked about the Patriot Torqx Solid State Drive. Jeff Harrison recently sent me a link to a video on YouTube that shows just how fast a machine full of SSD drives can be. I don't know whether to call the resulting computer amazing or hilarious. There is no doubt that a machine with 24 SSD drives in a RAID configuration is fast. The video proves that. What it doesn't mention is the cost of 24 drives. I'm guessing a total cost of at least $12,000 for the drives and probably a lot more. Nevertheless, check out the video to see a computer that we wish was on our desks.
