So it seems that this laptop’s (currently dubbed Tokyo) hard drive is about to die any day now. It’s happening again like it did earlier this year. This time around I’m prepared.
I knew that when my laptop went into service with Acer, I would be given a refurbished hard drive for replacement. I was right. Only 7 months in, and this hard drive is acting up already. I’m not sure what the cause of all this is though. But I’ve detected the first signs of the inevitable.
It first starts off with a very slow boot. Then from there on out, any sound coming from the laptop is very slow. Almost like playing a video in a rough slow motion. So far I haven’t seen the signs of CPU slowness, so I know I still have time to evacuate everything off this laptop.
I went out and purchased a brand new laptop hard drive from Memory Express. I was expecting to pay no more than $150 for the hard drive and enclosure. Nope…walked out $260 short. I wanted a 120 GB hard drive, but they had none. They only carried 100GB and 160GB both being 7200s. $150 for 100GB or $190 for the 160GB. I couldn’t help it but get the 160GB one. As for the enclosure, it’s eSATA and fairly small. So I can expect to carry it around with me using the soon-to-be-ripped-out hard drive from this laptop.
Once I’ve evacuated my hard drive of my prized processions, no not porn, more along the lines of projects and what not. Until I can get my new hard drive in, this will be my last post using this hard drive.
I just found out something really freakin’ cool. Google maps on the iPhone will cache.
I’ve tested this numerous times to be sure. Video soon to come.
39 MEGAPIXELS!!
I can image buying one of these beasts and being asked:
Would you like to buy insurance with your portable Hubble Telescope?
Just moments after my last post, reception called telling me that it has arrived!
I won’t be opening it up here right now, so pictures and videos will come later tonight.
So my predicted day of arrival for my iPhone was a bit off but for the better. I estimated that it would take up till this Friday to arrive. But to my surprise, I have been notified that it shall arrive today.
TODAY!!

Awesome, just when I was about to get cozy and go to sleep, the fire alarm went off. Not mine, I took out the battery in it because it kept going off every time I used the oven. This was the hallway fire alarms. I thought it was a very loud apartment alarm, but seemed too loud for it to be one.

The world is one more step closer to opening up the world of holograms which seemed only possible in movies such as Star Wars.
I wish I could give you guys more details, but even I can’t understand most of the lingo. The only word I probably recognize is mirror or 360.
I do say check out the video also. It’s pretty damn impressive!
