The World's First DDR3-1800 4GB Kit

Up until now, the biggest, baddest memory kit you could for a top end rig was 4GB of DDR3-1600 memory technology. Super Talent Technology has just launched a 4GB kit of DDR3-1800 technology last Wednesday and so far, it's been in extremely high demand. As the world's first and only memory kit of its kind, I'd bet on it.

Gamers should be thrilled to hear about this, except for the fact that you can only run this RAM on an equally high-end and compatible motherboard. Motherboards like that can run you up round $300, and the 4GB kit itself is just under $460. There is, however, a 2GB kit as well for under $260. Right now, the only place that sells this product is eWiz.com.

"Additional features include an extreme cooling system with 106% more aluminum mass than standard heat spreaders and double the surface area. The extreme cooling system also includes Super Talent’s thermal adhesive which provides superior heat dissipation for the memory device."

The kit is also backed by a lifetime warranty from Super Talent.

Demand has been so high for this product that it's currently sold out and expected to return on May 2nd. And that's enough time for you to earn another paycheck to blow.

All-in-One PC's

So I walked into Best Buy this weekend and saw their Featured System - a fully integrated computer/monitor. The idea is like Apple's Mac in that the system is all in one. The monitor is the desktop. Looks amazing, and the graphics on the rig were absolutely amazing but it got me asking...is this the wave of the future?

In technology, it's all about rolling everything into one. The XBOX 360 is more than just a gaming console. It can also play HD DVDs. And the same goes for the Playstation 3 except with a Blu-Ray. GPS's also plays MP3's and MP3 players also plays video. The All-in-One concept is a popular one, and it may now be over taking the traditional concept of the Desktop PC.

They are space and energy saving. But then again, they aren't as portable as a notebook or as upgradeable as a desktop. Still, the All-in-One PC I saw at Best Buy was a stunner. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up a hit. The All-in-One's are perfect for people looking to save space. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a staple of the typical office workplace. But as of yet it's a very niche product. If pricing for these products becomes comparable to desktops using the same technology, we could be seeing a definite increase in profitability in this industry.

Net Neutrality: This Week's Hot Debate

Many companies, like Comcast, want to manage traffic into sites. Net Firms and Broadband companies like Comcast can control traffic into websites, so that they can allow high-speed access to some sites, while other sites would suffer slower access speed. Website owners would have to pay Comcast for faster speeds, while the rest of us would just have to suffer with slower speeds.

Net Neutrality, for all of you who don't already know, is the concept that all sites should be allowed to have high-speeds and that companies should not have the right to control that.

In the future, I think that this is going to be a huuuuge issue. The internet is popular for being a completely ungovernable media, with the exception of censorship (like in China, though there are way of getting around that). Now that companies and governments have the technology to monitor and manage internet traffic, the internet is entering a new era of laws and restrictions. And because the internet is global and laws are domestic, countries and the companies within them are going to have a very interesting future figuring out how to deal with all these internet issues.

The Federal Communications Committee held a meeting yesterday to discuss Net Neutrality and the fact that Comcast has "been exposed as managing traffic by stopping some of its 13m customers uploading files to BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer networks."

A formal investigation is underway to decide whether or not Comcast should be punished for this. The debate is as to whether or not it's wrong. Some people think that allowing net firms to manage traffic is fine, but they must keep their customers fully informed about their practices. However this turns out, this debate sure is an interesting one and it definitely applies to you and me.
