I just built my desktop Friday, first time I used steam, and the only game I've played is Team Fortress 2. Is that a popular title?

I'm not saying you do, but if you're extremely careful you won't get viruses or malware.

DON'T USE THE WORD RETARD! Seriously, do you know how offensive that is to speshul people? They have feelings too!

I only clicked on the article because of that nonsense. I was thinking it could be a joke, but damn, 1050 kilometers would be in the exosphere.

Yeah, luckily I live in Nashville, which is honestly probably one of the best places, because it isn't super-jammed, but they probably have it prepared for the masses. My speed flies past my friends'.

Data? Are you talking about UVerse or mobile?

I bet you also hate the slow EVDO speeds, which hover around 1.5 Mbps, whereas the HSDUPA from AT&T hovers around 3Mbps, and can peak at over 6.

Yeah, that's why I went with a 500GB instead of a 1TB. I'll get one of those when the prices drop.

Yay! Thanks for that, I had been wondering that for a long time. I've been networked with my other family in my house, but never really transferred anything.

Does anyone know if this uses my broadband internet? I use about 180 Gbs a month, but if I used this frequently it could push it over 250.

Andrew is now my favorite writer. Thank God not everyone at Gizmodo wants to get rid of Google's empire and usher in an Apple Totalitarian State.

It's not a ripoff, that's simply common economics. Supply is down, demand has remain unchanged (perhaps gone down a little bit due to cheaper SSD's) so price goes up. Admittedly, I think it's too high a price, but previous prices have nothing to do with the current market.

None, he's smart enough to use android.

I agree with the quote, but this has nothing to do with that. You're confusing companies with the government. I personally have zero problem with Google knowing every website I visit. What will they do with hundreds of thousands tech site pages, web comics, and general blogs anyways?

It's still in the URL.

Right, I agree. But does the average person need 375MB/s? Nah, that's really only a 4x increase from the average HDD, and that person could get a 250GB for about $80 (I got a 500 for 90, not sure how reliable it is though cause haven't used it yet) and that way they save $50, with double the space, which is arguably…

You're confusing the bus with the technology. SATA III is the bus, which will transmit at 6gb/s. The SATA II transmitted at 3gb/s. The SSD can only go as fast as the SATA III (1.33 MB/s), but the bottleneck is the SSD write speeds (max of around 500MB/s). Sata III means nothing. In fact, if the bottleneck ever became…

I give credit to whoever can live on 64GB SSD(about the max you can get for under $100, a typical 500GB HDD). Maybe you could get an older SATA II 120GB, but then you're just bottlenecked at 375 MB/s.

Someone above (maybe concurrent with your comment, dunno) said that you would have to start with an initialized device. Here, to quote directly: "The problem is that this write technology can only be used to flip a bit, not write one. That means you need to know the initial state of the magnetic domain before you can…

Mother of pearl... that is incredible.
