| LaCie reveals first hard drive with Thunderbolt Posted: 27 Feb 2011 07:15 AM PST Posted by Devina Divecha on Sun 27 Feb 2011 Will the first ever Thunderbolt-capable hard drive become as essential to techies as the LBD is to fashionistas? LaCie has announced the first ever storage device that supports the brand new Thunderbolt technology, available only on the new Apple MacBook Pros. Apart from Thunderbolt, the new MacBook Pros seem to host a variety of impressive specs.
Previously known as Light Peak, Thunderbolt is a fast peripheral I/O technology standard which possesses a 10Gbps (or 1.25GBps) speed, and can support high-resolution displays.
Running on PCI Express and DisplayPort protocols, LaCie's Little Big Disk has been created for mobile and media professionals in mind, which allows for multiple streams of HD video in minutes instead of hours without any compromises.
Data transferred between peripherals on Thunderbolt technology can reportedly be done 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
The LBD is made up of two 250GB Intel 510 series solid state drives and is enclosed in LaCie's d2 aluminum casing.
Philippe Spruch, Chairman and General Manager of LaCie said, "Thunderbolt technology is a breakthrough in I/O technology and represents the future of mobile computing. Soon you will be able to carry workstation-class power and functionality in compact devices."
The LaCie Little Big Disk has been developed by Intel and is slated to become available from summer 2011. Pricing and storage capacities are as yet unknown.

| Police to start Facebooking to catch cyber-bullies Posted: 27 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST Posted by Devina Divecha on Sun 27 Feb 2011 One thing is for sure, the police aren't planning on hitting the "like" button Cyber-bullies will not go unpunished as officers from Thames Valley Police will start poking them Monday onwards.
Thames Valley Police will be joined by teenage volunteers when they will delve into Facebook to identify Facebook bullies of school students.
The scheme is the first of its kind and will be launched in Reading, and offenders will be sent messages from the police, warning them of possible prosecution. The cyber-bully's parents will also be informed of their child's actions and consequences.
PC Dave Thomas said, "By sending a police warning notice on Facebook, students will be made aware they could be prosecuted. We are aiming to nip the problem in the bud and prevent it becoming something more serious."
He also added that their aim is to make the bully realise how serious the matter is, while trying to keep young persons out of the justice system as much as possible.
The trial, if successful, might be considered for other areas.
