G-Technology has just announced the spanking new G-Drive Pro that boasts of Thunderbolt capability, where this could very well be your next purchase candidate when it comes to a compact, desktop external hard drive which will offer hard drive capacity alongside the benefits of SSD-like performance. In addition, it will be able to take full advantage of the speed and power of Thunderbolt. By leveraging on G-Technology’s well-known G-Drive design, the new G-Drive Pro with Thunderbolt is capable of delivering sustained data transfer rates of up to 480MB/s, and as we all know, that would mean it is up to three times faster compared to standard issue 3.5-inch desktop external hard drives.
At this point in time, new high-resolution media formats and related files sizes do require massive amounts of storage space in addition to ever faster data transfer rates so that one can efficiently edit and distribute content throughout the workflow without being inefficient. If one were to take a look at the figures, it would be staggering. Take for example, an uncompressed 2K digital video format, that alone will take up more than one terabyte (1TB) per hour, and will require approximately 305 megabytes per second (MB/s) sustained throughput for smooth editing without experiencing any kind of dropped frames. Such high-resolution video formats, alongside the rising popularity of higher megapixel DSLR cameras which are used to capture professional 2K video, has served up a need for a new high-performance storage solution that will be able to cater to the requirements of today’s digital content creators.
The G-Drive Pro with Thunderbolt will be made available to the masses later this summer via G-Technology and its Premier Channel Partners. The asking price for the 4TB G-Drive with Thunderbolt will cost $849.95, while those who are on a tighter budget or do not have that much need for space can settle for the $699.95 2TB G-Drive Pro with Thunderbolt.
Ever heard of Felix before? Assuming all you know about it would be Felix the Cat as a cartoon character, here is something else to tickle your imagination. Felix comes across as a mobile accessories maker this time around, and they have recently launched the MonkeyOh for the iPhone on Kickstarter, the famous crowd funding website that has seen its fair share of projects approved from time to time, no matter how improbable it looked from the beginning. The MonkeyOh for the iPhone is set to be a unique and versatile charging dock and stand that merges both form and functionality into a single and fun package.
Not only that, this fanciful stand will also double as a cord wrap whenever it is plugged into an electrical outlet, where it will free up counter space while doing away with messy wires which seem to have a life of their own. Chris Michaud, CEO of Felix, said, "We [Felix] can't stand cord clutter so we came up with a simple solution to that everyday problem- the MonkeyOh. We also wanted to create a product that has as much personality as functionality, and elicits a strong emotional response from consumers. So, we put all our accessories through a 'smile test.' You smile- it passes!"
How does the MonkeyOh work? All you need to do is slide your Apple power adapter into MonkeyOh's "backpack" slot, continue by plugging in the USB end of the power cord into the monkey's mouth, and then to wrap the cord around the backpack. This is a unique design that will help to organize your space instantly by getting rid of tangled cords, where you can then slide your smartphone into the flexible yet durable monkey arms for a more comfortable, hands-free multi-media viewing. If you want to, the MonkeyOh can also be placed on your desk or bedside table as an iPhone stand, now how about that?
Tiger Woods has definitely battled his way back to top spot in the world of professional golf, and he certainly had to go through plenty of obstacles along the way, which I believe that the second ascent proved to be a whole lot harder than the first. Well, one of the things that he normally did was to improve on his golf swing, and of course, he had swing coaches to help him out, but you as the ordinary man on the street who loves all things golf, how do you improve on your swing? The answer could very well lie in the $349.99 Golf Swing Recording Video Camera, where the name of this device says it all.
The Golf Swing Recording Video Camera comes in the form of a high-definition video camera which can be staked into the ground, where it will go about recording your golf swings to help you improve your game. The camera will be mounted atop a 3′ pole with a turf spike, ensuring instant placement in the tee box or fairway without causing any disruption to play. With its wide-angle lens, it is capable of capturing a golfer’s entire swing from 10 feet away, recording at a crisp 720p or 1080p HD video at 60 or 30 frames per second with but a single button press. With its 8GB of internal memory, it is able to record up to 2 hours' worth of video for your own analysis later on.
