From the outside, the latest My Book World Edition appears similar to the other My Book releases which Western Digital introduced in the past. However, we assure you that it is not. Color white aside, it is an entirely different mammoth of storage unleashed from WD’s stable, arriving with either 1TB or 2TB of hard disk drive storage.

 Western Digital’s choice of color makes the My Book World Edition a classy attraction to Apple Mac fans. OS-wise, it’s compatible with Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard. Nonetheless, it’s well-matched with PC users, since it works with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista as well.

Fashionistas out there: here's something new that you would love to flaunt while roaming around the metro. Apacer announced this week the new MP3 player born for fashion leaders.

I don't know if you guys know about this, but there is actually a way for you to have a portable HDD without the need for purchasing those branded ones in the market today.

It goes something like this:

1) Purchase a 2.5" or a 3.5" HDD

2) Buy an external enclosure for it (the 2.5" HDD only needs the USB for power, while the 3.5" HDD is more 'complex' and needs an external power supply)

3) Voila! Instant portable HDD for you.

This method is cheaper and can will save you a lot of money in the process. But of course, HDD enclosures in the market look dull and boring. So, why not give it a fancy look?

While this product may look like an ordinary HDD, the thing about it is that it is not. It is actually a 2.5" Hard Drive Disk Case for sale at geekstuff4u.

Here are the specs for it...

Uses 2.5" IDE HDD to USB2.0/1.1, is compatible with OS Windows98SE/Me/2000/XP and MacOS 9.2, it's dimensions are 84×134×12mm and weighs 68g.

Of course, the HDD is not included, but I guess purchasing a 120 GB 2.5" HDD won't be a problem right?

You can see more of this product at the geekstuff4u website and is sold for $24.68. Here's a link to make it easier for all of you readers.

We are bombarded with tons of USB drives. But honestly, I've never seen anything like this...

2) Has a rotational USB that fits into vertically or horizontally inclined USB devices.

3) Does not need any drivers as it is plug and play.

4) Has a storage capacity of 12GB.

5) Promises a sustained data transfer rate of 7.9MB/sec.

Oh yes, Christmas is just around the corner... In fact 'tis actually the season to be jolly, to share our love, and to forgive those who have sinned against us. Bury the hatchet and look forward to a new year.

Yes. It's really the time to love.

But little did you know, inanimate objects need lovin' too. Laptops become so lonely that they need a companion.

Yes, USB Meets LOVE...

Don't read on if you are not 18 or above...

Okay, let's continue then...

While there may be some who do not share their thoughts and ideas to others, there will still be a handful of people who just say the cold, hard, truth.

In an interview conducted by CNN, a CEO said that they're building a product that helps people watch porn. Yes, there is no typo there. A CEO said he is helping people watch PORN.

Would you know who this person is? Here's a clue...

Yes. PQI has done it again. After the famous U510 Card Drive (the one that's the size of a credit card), they have now come up with a new USB Flash Drive that is quite clever and innovative.

It is called PQI Cool Drive U350 Traveling Disk, the world's first pen-like retractable USB Flash Drive.

Yes. It's already September. And since the "-ber" months are here (have to write my Christmas list now), I would like to share a product that will scare your "Scrooge" blues away and relive the spirit of Christmas everyday.

Introducing....

The snowman USB drive! The Snowman has a storage capacity of 256MB and the nose lights up as soon as you jack it up your PC.

Solidalliance is the company responsible for this product and they actually have other products that you can buy (in case you want to have a unique USB Flash Drive that you want to bring along).

Last Tuesday (August 22, 2006), I attended a press conference by Millennium Computer Technology Corporation, as they, together with some officials from LaCie, launched some of LaCie's line of external hard disk products here in the Philippines. Some of you guys may have seen their products in various malls already, but allow me to share some of the products I saw during this event.

Seagate's 100GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

The Seagate PHD beside WD's Passport PHD

We recently received this from Millenium Computer Technology Corp., the official distributor for Seagate's retail products in the Philippines.

Coming in variations of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 160GB, this PHD is similar to WD's Passport and Maxtor's OneTouch mini line-up. Running at 5400RPM, the 40GB variant comes with 2MB cache, while the rest ship with 8MB of cache.

In terms of size, the Seagate PHD is slightly smaller in height, but larger in girth and thickness than WD's Passport. The chrome-plated aluminum enclosure seems more rugged than WD's aluminum and rubber enclosure, but the IO ports are left exposed to the elements. As expected, the Seagate PHD is powered via a USB 1.0 and above port, with accomodations for a Y-cable (plugged into another USB port) or external power supply should your ports not have enough juice. Lastly, models with capacities of 100GB and above come with BounceBack Express for quick and easy back-ups.

The 100GB version has a suggested retail price of PhP 9,959.
