Western Digital released a hard drive compliment to their USB Passport hard drive, the WD TV HD Media Player. What they’ve done is develop a high resolution real time streaming device capable of recording up to 1080p to your USB hard drive or super sized USB stick.
It’s clear to me Western Digital will begin developing products to complement or enhance the need of their core business products – hard drives and storage.
The WD TV HD Media Player has a memory buffer inside but uses two USB ports on the backside where you can plug in USB sticks or USB hard drives, like the Passport, to store the digital stream.

Digital Rights Management have surrounded music ever since the MP3 standard was set back in the late 90s. We’ve slowly seen labels and artists go the route of DRM free music, and today Datz.com is trying it again.
The program Datz.com is promoting is a $100 membership fee which gives you access to download as much content as you want. The membership comes with a CD and a loaded USB stick. It seems the USB music album continues to grow in popularity. The fee will last you 12 months, but what you accomplish in downloads is yours for life. Transfer, burn or copy those MP3 to any number of players you want.
Some of the record labels Datz.com is claiming you’ll get include EMI, Warner Bros Records, Beggars Group and The Orchard.
What’s the catch? Well, there’s an ominous phrase in the press release, “…a wide selection of new music released in 2009 will be available to Datz Music Lounge members,” indicating that perhaps not all of the new releases will be available?
In either event, if you love music and can part with a C note – Datz might be worth a shot.

We saw this post a couple days ago over at Engadget and I’ve been meaning to write about it. Apparently there is new technology which allows you to eavesdrop through USB cables, Ethernet cables and the like.
The idea is using electromagnetic radiation shot off by USB cables to decrypt the information flowing over them to crack your security and privacy. The crew at Security and Cryptography Lab at Switzerland’s EPFL have managed to eavesdrop wired keyboards and track keystrokes made by the user.
What gets really crazy, is the electromagnetic eavesdropping, or cracking, can be administered up to 65 feet away. It’s clear that no one is safe.

If you take a typical USB stick and select the Windows format option, you only get the FAT and FAT32 option for anything under 4GBs. However, there are times you might want to format as NTFS. For example, you want to set specific file and folder privileges to the content and you feel NTFS is the best way.
Well, there is an easy solution and it’s just a matter of setting the options correctly in Windows for your device.
This is how you do it:
Start > My Computer > Right click on the drive letter for the USB stick and select Properties.
Next click the Hardware tab of the Properties dialogue box and select the device which you’d like to change. In this case, it’s drive letter F shown as “Simple Flash Disk 2.0 USB Device“ From here you can double-click the device or highlight in blue and click the Properties button.
