Telescopic nanotubes work on RAM-flash fusion

Random access memories require constant power to offer their fast access speeds, but can't be scaled to as small a size as slower nonvolatile

Telescopic nanotubes aim to combine virtues of SRAM, flash

Random access memories require constant power to offer their fast access speeds, but can't be scaled to as small a size as slower nonvolatile flash memories. Now researchers believe they can combine the high-speed of RAM with the nonvolatility of flash by using telescopic nanotubes.

A few observations on the day we broke the buck (The Barrel blog)

Just some random but not particularly incisive thoughts today, the day when the NYMEX' RBOB contract slid below $1/gallon for the first time since 2004.

Global Gossip 18.11.2008 Part 2

Talk about a random pairing, our spies tell us that Natalie Imbruglia and will.i.am hooked up. The Australian beauty and the Black Eyed Peas rapper, both 33, seemed oblivious to onlookers – including celebrities Sienna Miller and Jesse Metcalfe – as they got to know each other intimately during a night out at Monroe’s nightclub at No.5 Cavendish Square. A source said: “Natalie and Will were getting on really well, and there were some surprised looks when they started kissing. Sienna made her excuses and left fairly early, but the others stayed until 7am.” Hmm wonder if they will be making sweet music anytime soon? Or was it a publicity stunt – anyone know if Natalie has a single out next week?

Patternicity: Finding Meaningful Patterns in Meaningless Noise

Why do people see faces in nature, interpret window stains as human figures, hear voices in random sounds generated by electronic devices or find conspiracies in the daily news? A proximate cause is the priming effect, in which our brain and senses are prepared to interpret stimuli according to an expected model.

Roll-up Mouse Pad Charges Your iPod and Plays It Too

Unlike other models we've seen, this roll-up mouse pad doesn't just have some random, empty cylinder hanging off the side, spiting you like an empty tallboy through the workday. Instead, it uses this otherwise empty space to store a 4-port USB hub and a speaker complete with 3.5mm in and outputs. In other words, you can charge your MP3 USB gear while playing it right back through your mouse pad. Priced at $22, it's not especially easy on the eyes, but its casual disregard for style is kind of what makes it great. [Gadget4All]

A Linux-Based "Breath Test" For Porn On PCs

Gwaihir the Windlord writes "A university in Western Australia has started beta testing a tool that's described as 'a random breath test' to scan computers for illicit images. According to this article it's a clean bootable Linux environment. Since it doesn't write to the hard drive, the evidence is acceptable in court, at least in Australia. They're also working on versions to search for financial documents in fraud squad cases, or to search for terrorist keywords. Other than skimming off the dumb ones, does anyone really expect this to make a difference?" The article offers no details on what means the software uses to identify suspicious files.

Tech Test Drive: Juice Firefox Plugin

Juice Firefox Plugin is for all of you who treat Internet surfing like a pie-eating competition, scarfing up as much random information as you can. The software creates a sidebar to Firefox 3 where users can store photos and videos. It also surfaces new information about any term that is highlighted and dragged in the direction of the sidebar. For example, highlighting "Naomi Watts" in a story on PopSugar prompts Juice to retrieve everything from a Wikipedia article about the actress to links to photos and links to Google News.

Seagate Acknowledges Problems With 1.5-TB HDD

AnInkle writes "Seagate's 1.5TB Barracuda has been available for a couple months from multiple retailers. But shortly after release, reports of random freezes appeared on several sites. The hang apparently occurs in Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows Vista when streaming video or transferring files at low speeds. After a couple of weeks of silence, Seagate has finally officially acknowledged the problem. In a response to The Tech Report, they say they're investigating the 'issue' affecting 'a small number of Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives.' Acknowledging the 'inconvenience' is a start, but most users expect at least average performance and prompt service from the capacity king of data storage."
