PBS’s Tavis Smiley: ‘We’re Doing the Lord’s Work’ Hitting Obama from the Left
February 28, 2011 No CommentPBS talk show host Tavis Smiley is a hard-left talk show host on PBS. (He should admit that, since he authored a book called Hard Left. ) You might remember him as the man that proclaimed that Christians “blow up people every day” in America. On his Facebook page today, Smiley promotes an interview he gave to one Myron Mays, where he talks about how he does “the Lord's work” on PBS: PBS is a network that is watched by movers and shakers and by people who run the country, power players and other influencers. It's a great platform for us to try to empower them and try to enlighten them and quite frankly try to expand their inventory of ideas.

We didn’t think the previous generation of SSDs, topping out at around 280MBps read speeds, were in any way hampered by their celerity, but Intel’s bringing the future to us whether we like it or not with its new 510 Series SSDs. These Marvell-controlled flash storage drives will zip data to your processing unit at a rate of 500MB per second and write anything you send back at a clip of 315MBps. That’s mostly thanks to the 510 being one of a new breed of consumer SSDs with a 6Gbps SATA interface , which has effectively removed a bottleneck from the performance equation and uncorked the extra vroom now contained within. When bought in bulk, a 250GB SSD 510 will cost you $584, while the slightly slower (450MBps read, 210MBps write) 120GB model will set you back $284. Full press release after the break.
