Right now all I see is price gouging, I assume due to supply constraints -- any idea when these processors will have sufficient supply to normalize prices?

3D nand flash is coming next year. If you can hold out at all, you won't be sorry. If you can't hold out, by xmas next year you'll be shocked at the capacities and prices on offer, and wishing you had held out.

Ahhhh ha. Oops. Yeah that would be a lot of porn.

Who puts porn on an SSD?? It's games, big fat games that I can't seem to finish before I install and start playing new ones... That and 8 different operating systems in VM's ;-)

Because of 3D NAND I expect 1TB SSD's to be under $100 within 15 months, and to see 3TB to 5TB 3D NAND drives at around $150-200 by the end of 2016. My 256 and 512TB SSD's will last me until then....

So it's probably Turbine that got ransacked (LOTRO and DDO). Good to know.

I did some more research - looks like it's part of a hacker process using emails stolen from one of these sources: Dungeons & Dragons Online xtranormal.com ign.com gamespot.com fileplanet.com direct2drive.com One thing I've learned over the years is never, ever use the same passwords across...

Today I got e-mail messages in both my primary e-mail's junk boxes, asking me to confirm my account creation for accounts at battle.net. They were addressed to "zhang" and contained what appeared (via mouse hover) to be legitimate links back to blizzard, and a peek at the full e-mail headers...

I think that's optimistic. For one thing, you really need a dual-screen device with both an e-ink and a TFT (or AMOLED) screen to do all that, and no one in the market has the vested interest to sink a lot of development money into it other than Amazon and B & N. So far all we've seen on the...
