KOREAN FIRM Samsung said it has started selling a hybrid hard drive to its customers.

The MH80 series comes in 80GB, 120GB and 180GB sizes. The 2.5-inch drive has 128 or 256MB of flash memory and combines magnetic optical characteristics. Samsung claims it will give faster boot and resume times, better reliability and increased battery life.

It claims the drive will eat between 70 to 90 per cent less power than non hybrid drives and that extends battery life by 30 minutes. The one bit of information Samsung does not provide is the price premium. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
