Four Pocket-Sized Hard Drives

Hard drive form factors have really come down in size

Back in the '80s, a personal computer's hard drive had a 5.25-inch form-factor that was roughly twice the height of today's optical drives, was heavy enough to be awkward to hold in one hand, and, at the high end, could handle as much as 100MB (if you could afford it). These days, though, small is in.

Information week has a really great review of 4 pocket-sized drives that gives a lot of insight and explanation of these tiny pocket pals.

Google -- Talk Is Cheap

By: Steve Bralovich

Google Talk lays the groundwork for Google to move beyond the Internet and onto the telephone network.

Google Talk has couple of neat features that you might expect. It includes a Google IM so you can chat with your contacts via email.

It also has a GMail notifier for your GMail account. I find this handy because I use GMail for some everday needs. You are given a link to sign up with if you don't have a GMail account yet.

It's still a beta but you should check it out. Especially if you and your contacts are on GMail.
