“SSD makers often try to wow us with raw MB/S, but OCZ is talking up “enterprise-level” reliability, ops per second, and throughput equally with its new SATA III 6Gbps Agility 4. The 64GB / 128GB / 256GB / 512GB drives — with Marvell-built Indilinx Everest 2 controllers — have middling max read/write throughput of 400 MB/s and 48,000 IOPS / 85,000 IOPS, respectively. But with Indilinx Ndurance 2.0 technology and no data compression, they claim that the NAND memory will last “well beyond” the manufacturer’s specs — without backing that up with actual figures. Prices seem steep at Amazon next to the competition, but could drop when they hit the streets in volume. So, if you’re after an all-rounder instead of a sprinter, check the PR after the break.

“Timeline of the Universe—the expansion of the universe over most of its history has been relatively gradual. The notion that a rapid period “inflation” preceded the Big Bang expansion was first put forth 25 years ago.

For the generations that grew up with TV before the age of cable, the box in our living room was a time machine, capable of taking us back to just a few hundred thousand years after the birth of the Universe. We just didn’t realize it. Nor did the scientists that discovered this, at least at first. But luck seemed to play a large role in one of the biggest discoveries of our lifetime.

That may not have been the intended message of the discussion called “Dispatches from the Birth of the Universe,” hosted by the World Science Festival on Friday. The panel provided a good picture of our current state of knowledge on the birth of the Universe, and a glimpse at what we’ll likely find out next. But the history of the field turned out to be ripe with examples of things that were both hiding in plain sight (but required a bit of luck to spot), and others we’ve been lucky to see at all (well beyond the luck of being the right age to have seen the TV static).

Lawrence Krauss, who moderated the panel, introduced it by turning on an old TV set on stage. When turned to an empty channel, the TV displayed a familiar wall of static. About one percent of that noise, Krauss said, comes from the Universe itself, a remnant of an event that took place roughly 13.7 billion years ago. That’s when, 375,000 years after the Big Bang, the Universe finally cooled enough that protons could hang on to electrons, forming hydrogen atoms and emitting photons in the process. These photons, stretched out and cooled by the expansion of the Universe, have been with us ever since. And, with just a regular old TV set, you can capture some of them.

“I am running my Windows 8 Consumer Preview on a Acer Iconia w500. It comes with a 32 GB HDD so if I already have on OS on there and if I try to reinstall the new build , it start to whinge about freeing up space on the drive and what not. Luckily I can put the Windows 8 Release Preview ISO on to a USB drive , make the drive bootable and then it’s a simple process of reinstalling the OS. Today we will tell you how to get Windows 8 ISO on to a USB drive.

“We wrote a few weeks back about the amazing artwork being done by the team at RGB+D. These hacker-slash-artists have combined Microsoft’s Kinect with a DSLR camera to create stunning photos and video that capture people through space and time in ways very different from a traditional film. The clip released today is a preview of a full length documentary featuring “hackers and media artists discussing culture, code and the future of visualization.” Check out the work by James George, Alexander Porter and Jonathan Minard below.
