Google Selling Unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus for $399
If you are looking for a Galaxy Nexus to use on an HSPA+ network (like T-Mobile or AT&T) then Google is selling the device for $399 completely unlocked from their own online store. That’s quite a deal.
Gmail Storage Jumps to 10GB
In celebration of the Google Drive launch Gmail users should have seen their email storage jump from 7.5GB up to 10GB (and counting).
Google Drive Really Launches
The long awaited Google Drive has launched, but is a little disappointing for me. Google has traded in their highly affordable additional storage plans for more costly alternatives now that users can use the storage for just about anything. For example, getting an additional 20GB per year would previously run you just $5/year, but is now $25/year.
Facebook Makes $4.69 Per User Per Year
Ahead of the Facebook IPO some interesting financial data has been slipping out. One of the more interesting stats is that Facebook makes around $4.69 per user per year. When you multiply that by the 901 million active users that works out to be a nice chunk of change.
Ars Technica’s Spin on Windows 8
Ars Technica has a rather lengthy article regarding their take on Windows 8. In the end they feel that the overall experience will be good for tablet users, but that the mix of Aero/Metro UI elements for desktop users is a bit of a mess.
Google Testing Quick Apply Feature in Google Docs
Google Docs is getting a nifty Quick Apply feature that is sure to spark a flame in any keyboard-lover’s heart. With it you can easily find and apply formatting features to your documents by typing out associated keywords instead of having to hunt down which menu they are tucked in.
Save Your Free 25GB SkyDrive Storage
Microsoft rolled out SkyDrive for the Windows Desktop last week, and in doing so they also cut back the amount of storage non-paying users get from 25GB down to 7GB. Fortunately when existing users login to their accounts they will be given the option to bump their storage back up to the 25GB for free. So you should login now to grab it before they take that option away.

It seems like each time I get a new game console or computer it feels like I will never use all the storage space on the hard drive. Then before I know it, I am having to decide what I want to ditch to get enough space on the drive for new items. If you own a PS4 and you want to upgrade the HDD, the good news is that it is a user serviceable part.
It won’t void your warranty to replace the drive that comes from Sony inside the PS4 with a larger capacity HDD or faster SSD from OWC. The company has a pair of SSD upgrades for the PS4 with 240GB or 480GB of storage and faster access speeds. The 240GB SSD kit sells for $219 while the 480GB version is $399.
The HDD upgrade kit with a 1TB drive is $99.99 with the 1.5TB HDD upgrade kit selling for $149.99. All of the kits include everything you need including the new drive, flash drive for data transfer, instructions, screwdriver, and even a USB enclosure for the drive you take out of the PS4.
Samsung has achieved yet another first in their heavily feathered cap already, and this time around, it has something to do with the very first 1TB mSATA SSD in the world. This particular SSD would be known as the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA (mini-Serial ATA) Solid State Drive (SSD), where both the SSD’s thickness and weight are said to be around 40% and a twelfth of a typical hard disk drive, respectively. That is surely lightweight, and considering the far smaller size that it comes in, you can be sure that it will be tiny enough to usher in a new era of even smaller desktop computers!
It is said that this Samsung 1TB mSATA SSD will be able to deliver 98,000 random read and 90,000 random write IOPS (Input Output Operations Per Second) , not to mention sequential read and write speed of 540 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 520 MB/s. And no, you do not need to wait for a long time to pick up this puppy, since Samsung has announced that it will be made available later this month worldwide, where the exact launch date will depend on just which region it is rolling out in.
The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD will continue from where the 840 EVO line-up left off, which was originally introduced in July this year at the Samsung SSD Global Summit. This model will boast of the compact mSATA form factor, which is roughly 25% that of a 2.5” SSD, and yet it does not compromise when it comes to the level of high density and high performance.
If you do not have the budget nor the need for 1TB of storage space, fret not – the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD range will still arrive in other capacities for you to choose from, including 120GB, 250GB, and 500TB. Which particular model would you go for if you’re building your own PC from scratch?
Press Release
