    5 TB Drives ... Will WD be first?

    Seriously, ask that again in 5 years. As storage and bandwidth increase and prices come down, there are always whole fields of applications to benefit from it. How about movies and TV shows in HD? About 10 years ago I thought it was pretty cool to have 250 MB removable Zip disks, a CDROM...

    iTunes 11

    My general impression of iTunes 11 is that I don't like it. I think Apple has actually UNimproved it. I've never really liked how, if I want to put things into my iPhone, I have to do it their way. This may be my last iPhone, despite how good the actual phone is. When my contract runs out I...

    Google Nexus 7 Tablet

    Some of us were discussing this at work today. I think the tablet market this fall will shake down to these basic groups: iPad, Android, Windows 8, and all others (in which I consider Kindle and Nook). I don't think we should underestimate MSFT, maybe they can grab a sizable share of the market...

    What was your first computer?

    It happened in 1994, and some called it the arrival of "Perpetual September." Here's why. In years past, new or returning university students would get their logins etc to use the computer system and Arpanet etc. All through September were the same newbie questions like "how do I access FTP, or...

    Any one here operate PSK31 or other digital modes??

    I have the Rigblaster Plug & Play for my Icom 706. Goes right into the accessory connector on the back of the radio, and a USB and two audio plugs to the computer. Works great. Be sure to follow their setup instructions, particularly to install their USB driver before connecting it to the...

    What's Your Sign?

    Dave, AD7DB. Formerly WB6WKB. When I can get on the air (usually weekends) I'm trying 40m-10m phone in a slow progress of maybe getting a mixed DXCC out of it. I got only one band WAS so far (40m) which took a few years when I could find the time. I'm also trying for a VUCC on 6m. I have APRS...

    SDR demo at Hamcon

    Yesterday I attended Hamcon 2011 in Torrance CA. One of the companies doing live demos was Flexradio. They really impressed me by showing how they could use two receivers, feeding one in different phase with the other. The noise floor just dropped out of the way, opening up the weak signals...

    Apple IPAD Owner's Thread

    I'll have to see how this will benefit me. Most of my iPhone MP3's are podcasts (14MB per file representing about 43 minutes of audio) mostly from subscriptions to Coast to Coast AM. I have some 8GB of that and not all of it is kept on my iPhone right now, just the many I haven't listened to...
