March 5, 2011 No Comment
We’ve been hearing about Seagate’s plans to offer an unencumbered 3TB hard drive since May of last year, but despite promises of a 2010 launch and the release of similarly large HDDs from companies like Western Digital and Hitachi , we’re only now seeing the 3TB Barracuda XT shipping all on its own. We won’t claim to have an explanation for the delay, but it’s possible that the company’s proprietary software — which breaks the 2.1TB legacy OS barrier and enables this guy to function within Windows XP — could have something to do with it. It might be tardy to the party, but the new Barracuda can definitely hold its own when stacked against the competition — it spins at 7,200RPM, touts a 64MB cache, and plays nice with the 6Gbps SATA interface. It ain’t the only 3TB fish in the sea, but at $280, it’s definitely not dead in the water.

March 5, 2011 No Comment
Motorola’s got a fine smartphone in the Atrix 4G , but a mildly unsatisfactory pair of modular docks. Good thing, then, that you can gain the most intriguing functionality they add without buying one! Fenny of xda-developers reportedly figured out a way to modify the phone’s APK files to activate Webtop mode over a standard HDMI cable — with no dock needed as a go-between — allowing you to experience the Atrix’s PC-like functionality when connected to any HDMI-ready computer monitor or TV. Of course, you’ll need a rooted and deodexed phone to give it a try, but we hear those aren’t monumentally difficult to come by. While Fenny’s hack could potentially make the desktop dock obsolete — assuming you’ve got a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard handy — Motorola’s LapDock is still something else. It’s razor-thin, it doesn’t require a separate monitor, and it charges your phone. So, before you write it off entirely, you might at least want to indulge your morbid curiosity about what’s inside, and thus there’s a complete teardown video after the break to show you what the guts look like. Enjoy!
