Windows to anything else, usually Debian, but my primary laptop has been OSX for the last year, with Debian running in a very rarely used VMWare instance.

Windows 8 Pro on another laptop, Debian on everything else, Ubuntu on my Galaxy Nexus, for shits and giggles.

The more curious we get... I hope to hell that a person 10, 100, or 1000* smarter than we are now wouldn't have abandoned curiosity.

Why on earth would someone update software like this on production systems, instead of testing it in a lab environment first?

Anyone that knocked 80% of our servers offline by applying this patch would be packaged out the next day.

I was on slashdot when 9/11 happened, and I fail to see how in it's own way slashdot is not a very, very old (in internet years) form of social media.

higher density at 10K would still give tremendous rewards though.

Admittedly, it would just be a stop gap, eventually SSD will be everything, I get that, but in the mean time I would like to see Seagate and WD do what they do really well, rather than give us half baked solutions like these hybrid drives.

I get that, but I also see the flip side where 10K drives have typically been aimed at Enterprise, rather than consumer business.

I have a pair of ancient 74 gig raptors that I use for the boot system (raid 0) on my home NAS, and I love the disks. I'd love to see some consumer grade 10K drives with a standard warranty.

And, yes, I have SSD in my laptop, and I agree that spinning platters have a limited number of days, but for a company like Seagate who is pussying around with these hybrid drives, it would make sense for them to do what they do well, instead of half assing something, and giving us half a solution.

Why are we not seeing more 10K drives? Other than the WD Raptors, I haven't seen 10K desktop drives in forever.

I would think it would be a better compromise, am I missing something?

I was issued a Z10 from work the day before it launched (I work for Bell Canada, a lot of us were issued the device) and I'm absolutely in love with the device. It's been a huge success sales wise.

Nexus S, Galaxy and 4 all have fixed storage, and the 4 doesn't offer a removable battery.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic device, but you need to reset your expectations of what the devices are and aren't.

Balance quite easily looks like the single best feature of the device.

I wonder if we simply haven't deployed BES 10 yet. I'll have to inquire about that.

Thanks!

No. I have a device that I use for work, and with my Bold 9900 we had to use BES to get our corporate email (Bell Canada). With my Z10, it was as simple as putting my new SIM into the device, and setting up Exchange ActiveSync. However (I haven't 100% confirmed this yet) BlackBerry Balance (BBB?) doesn't work unless yo use BES. I can't for the life of my figure out how to split the device into two work environments.

correct, It crashed Chrome, Safari, itunes and text edit on my MBP w/ ML, but the F does have to be capitalized.

I have three of that exact drive in a box in the basement. The first two get used to rip, the other gets used to write. Best drive I have ever owned, hands down.

so, plug it into a wallwart, instead of a computer?

I remember hearing about this, but I have never been able to find the claimed footage. Wasn't this debunked as a hoax?
