I'm sure there are several ways around this, computer-vision systems could just look at the underside of the car and recognize the battery, RFID tags on the car could identify the make and model so the system would know where the battery should be, magnetic sensors, etc. Use some imagination.
Haven't seen anyone mention this but... how about patching sshd so that an attacker can't tell the difference between a connection failing because of a bad userid or because of a bad password/key? Let them sit and spin (a tarpit?) trying to break into that "amanda" account they think I have - or blow out their database thinking every host has every possible userid in the book.
Not every machine needs to be storing lots of audio or video. If you can fit a Knoppix installation into a CD holding what, 640mb? 256gb is way overkill.
If anything having desirable but smaller storage might discourage software bloat, leaving Linux and the *BSDs looking pretty good and leaving Vista in the dust.
Actually $80/500GB = $0.16/GB, so the gap is even wider between the Super Talent's $5.57/GB and say a Seagate 7200.10. Right now the price per gigabyte of SSD vs traditional is almost 35x higher, but it'll certainly come down drastically in the next few years. When it gets down to under 5x higher, I think it'll really take off.
The first-gen MacBooks were just Core Duo, and of course that's what I've got:(
We do have an app at work that requires Java6, so I guess I have to keep booting up a Parallels VM to run it.
It seems a little bass-ackwards to have the mechanical device buffering for the solid-state one:)
Maybe what you need is just more simply to have two separate devices in your laptop, a small SSD to hold your OS and apps, say a 32 GB Transcend for only $175 or so, and then a low-power, set to sleep ASAP traditional drive for your data, movies, or whatever else.
Too bad it wasn't 8 satellites, then they could have named them: Anoop, Uma, Nabendu, Poonam, Priya, Sandeep, Sashi and Gheet - and then the rocket itself would have been: Apu

Here are a few more reviews for today: The Tech Report, Phoronix, AnandTech, X-bit labs, and Benchmark Reviews. It's all enough to make your eyes bleed. There's a list for the Core i7 870 at 0x6877.com
HotHardware has taken a crack at these new drives also today.
AnandTech has a nice writeup too. If the price curve drops like the first-gen X-25M we should all be happy pretty soon.

OCZ has grabbed the bottom, at least on NewEgg, looking here and sorting by price, you'll find the 30GB Solid Series is $69.99.

An update on that Gizmodo page on reliability says Dell refutes those numbers pointing here.
Looks like a noisy piece of crap PC, but if it goads Apple into releasing something with a similar form factor, then I'm all for it.
