People signing up for services with someone else's email address is a behavior that has always confused the hell out of me. It's happened to me as well, and I don't think there's anything you can do to _prevent_ it. My suggestion is to make sure your email address password is changed on the regular; co-opt the services you'd care to use; and for the rest, switch the passwords to some 50-odd random string of characters.

Submission + - Terabyte hard drive put to the test

EconolineCrush writes: "As a technical milestone, Hitachi's Deskstar 7K1000 hard drive is undeniably impressive. The drive is the first to pack a trillion bytes into a standard 3.5" form factor, and while some may argue the merits of tebi versus tera, that's still an astounding accomplishment. Hitachi also outfitted the drive with 32MB of cache—double what you get with standard desktop drives—making this latest Deskstar a leader in both cache size and total capacity. That looks like a great formula for success on paper, but how does it pan out in the real world? The Tech Report has tested the 7K1000's performance, noise levels, and power consumption against a whopping 18 other drives to find out, with surprising results."
