PHS300 personal hot spots from Cradlepoint: phone 3g to wifi converter

This gadget can take the internet connection from your phone, and turn it into an 802.11b/g network that you can connect to. If there are others around that you don’t want stealing your bytes, then the 64/128bit encryption should be enough to keep them secure. The battery provides full three hours to work

But its compatibility is limited to certain Sprint and Verizon products. They both have very strong 3G networks, but they don’t always have the best coverage area. Still, if you’ve got a Sprint or Verizon phone, this would be a lifesaver.

HDD vs SSD

This video shows boot time comparison for two same notebooks (Sony TZ91) with different type of storage drives.



Left notebook quipped with a standart HDD 200GB 5400RPM
And right - with SSD (Solid State Drive)

You can see the difference: 12 seconds. It not a big time, but SSD also has many other advantages: very low power consumption (approximately 1 watt), no moving parts =>  no noise, lower weight and size.

P.S. But keep in mind, SDD still expensive - about 8$ per GB.
Making PCs with small 20-40GB SSD as system drive with ur OS, working applications, etc and big terabyte HDD drive with your media - it's a good idea for solivng problem with high price.
