Want to know what it takes to make our rankings? Check out our distinct approach.
For the 2016 rankings, OnlineColleges.net has greatly refined its approach to evaluating schools and their respective programs. Our innovative method of assessing schools is what makes our rankings so distinctly authoritative. On the surface, every ranking we produce employs a basic formula: Academic Quality + Online Offerings + Cost and Student Aid = Final Score. This final score determines where a school ends up in our rankings. Of course, there's a lot more than meets the eye. Visit our methodology page to discover the data points that shape our formula and to learn more about our process.

This ensures active participation in class, collaboration between classmates and a quality learning experience overall.

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, May 2014: In May of 2013, Edward Snowden, a young systems administrator contracting for the National Security Agency, fled the United States for Hong Kong, carrying with him thousands of classified documents outlining the staggering capabilities of the NSA.'s surveillance programs--including those designed to collect information within the U.S. There Snowden arranged a meeting with Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald, and so began the most explosive leak of classified material since the Pentagon Papers, over 40 years ago. No Place to Hide opens with Greenwald's tense account of his initial cloak-and-dagger encounters with Snowden, then transitions into descriptions of the NSA's vast information-collection apparatus, including a selection of the "Snowden files" with commentary on the alphabet soup of agencies and code names. And--in typical Greenwald style--the book is packed with his opinions on government snooping, its legality, and the impacts on our Constitutional freedoms. Whether you consider Snowden a whistleblower crying foul on government overreach, or a self-aggrandizing traitor who put national security at risk, Greenwald's book is thrilling and enlightening, a bellwether moment in a crucial debate. --Jon Foro
"Impassioned . . . Gripping . . . Greenwald amplifies our understanding of the N.S.A.'s sweeping ambitions . . . and delivers a fierce argument in defense of the right of privacy." ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Rings with authority . . . Vital for anyone interested in civil liberties . . . This book is an antidote to the common public perception that government spooks are only interested in 'bad' people." ―Chicago Tribune
"Pulse-pounding." ―Wired
"Reads like a thriller . . . With heart-pounding suspense, John le Carré–like intrigue, and Jeffersonian fidelity to the principles of human freedom . . . No Place to Hide is also a morality tale about the personal courage required of Snowden and Greenwald and his colleagues to expose government wrongdoing and the risk to their lives, liberties, and properties in doing so." ―Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Fox News

Why So Serious by wilder-trashWatch
©2013-2016 wilder-trash
This is my first ever attempt at working with stencils and spray paints... I made a few mistakes such as not waiting enough for the paint to dry between layers, using cheap paints (I think also a non-gloss paint would be easier to work with) and using an old crappy piece of cardboard as a canvas... However considering, I think for my first attempt i am quite proud of the outcome!
Pretty good
To be honest i wouldnt have guessed that was first attempt. Great work!
Thank you very much, it was literally the first time I had even picked up a spray can

AbstractU.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists at Fort Collins Science Center, National Wetlands Research Center, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center, and Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, as well as USFWS Migratory Bird biologists across the country, are collaborating with university partners to develop a suite of products for managers. The goals are to identify migratory pathways and stopover sites for conservation, mitigation, and landscape planning; convey the importance of functional landscapes and unobstructed airspaces for migrating wildlife; enable use of radar by the wider biological, wind power, and related communities; and simplify the analysis of radar data. The long term focus is to use radar technologies to better understand movement patterns and habitat associations of migratory birds and other wildlife. Land managers and industry may use the knowledge and tools developed to optimize the siting of energy projects, other facilities, and migratory bird habitat projects.

I am a former 3-time Olympic swimmer (for South Korea - 96, 00, 04) and swam on scholarship at the University of Florida (same school that many Olympians have swum such as Dara Torres and Ryan Locthe). My specialty was the Individual Medley (former national record holder from 96-06) but also swam butterfly, breaststroke and middle distance freestyle during college. I also have a PhD in Kinesiology.
I have vast teaching/coaching swimming experience from beginners (people who are afraid of the water), age-group swimmers, to competitive swimmers. I have taught beginning swimming at a University level for 4 years and provided private lessons to swimming clients at the University of Pennsylvania (staff, faculty, students, family and friend members). I have competed against many world class swimmers including Michael Phelps and Ryan Locthe (trained with him at the 2004 Olympic Games). I have learned from many world class coaches such as the 2012 US Olympic Team Men's Head Coach, Gregg Troy, and legendary swim coach Richard Shoulberg at Germantown Academy (PA).
I really try to focus on teaching from the basics and provide in-water Olympic level demonstration and instruction. For technique improvement, I will be in the water with the client and provide step-by-step, thorough, and clear instruction. I use a combination of my Olympic athletic experience along with my doctorate education in Kinesiology to provide my clients the best instruction to improve their technique, power, efficiency, and/or time.
I am a very humble and patient person. I can assure you world-class observations and instructions. I am a USA swimming registered Coach (with Level 2 Axiom Background check and completion of Foundations of Coaching and USA Swim Athlete Protection Training) and have certifications from American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor and CPR/AED.

My phone looks like an i9000 and all but I have problems on i9000 ROMs. The ROMs boot at first but later on they can't mount the internal SD and neither can recovery. I'll also get the dB data error when flashing 2.3.6 but not 2.2.1. I can overcome that error with dbdatafs.tar though. Anyhow would it be safe to try m110s ROMs on my device? I'm not sure what to do? I can't keep reflashing just to boot my phone.

This article originally appeared in issue 249 of PC Gamer UK.
Remember text?
To hear some people talk, it had a decent run before it died. Everyone loved carved stone tablets, until scrolls became the iPads of their day. Later, books picked up the slack. Then came TV and movies, and who'd want to pay to read words after that happened? Yes, they'd have to be a real sucker...
Ahem. The strange situation is that despite the written word getting sadly little respect these days, the average person has never read more. Much of it is short-form, but devices like the Kindle and the iPad have stepped in to make longer reads cool again, and then gone one step further: they've helped give birth to a new generation of interactive stories. The text adventure is back.
Most, although not all, of the resulting games owe their origins to two styles of interactive fiction: the classic text adventure, as popularised by Infocom, and a series of books called Choose Your Own Adventure. Other books in the same style were available and extremely popular, like the more RPG-heavy Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy series, but CYOA is the one with the instantly recognisable name and thus, unsurprisingly, the most often brought up for a little misty-eyed nostalgia.
Both styles created worlds to explore through nothing but text and the odd picture, but their methods were very different. Infocom and their peers wrote parser-driven games, dropping you into a world where you'd use commands like 'GO NORTH' to explore and interact. CYOA simply told you what was going on, for instance: 'You approach the castle. An evil knight attacks!' and offered the choices 'Turn to Page 45 to fight the knight,' and 'Turn to Page 60 to wet pants.' And of course, an easy way to cheat.
In both cases, the results were simple, but varied. With just a few lines of text, either could send you into the distant future or the depths of an evil wizard's castle, or create more sophisticated experiences than simply killing things. Infocom classic A Mind Forever Voyaging was about witnessing the collapse of America by simulating a politician's seemingly innocent plans over several decades.
Modern equivalents are superficially similar, but far more complex. A CYOA-style game written in a system such as Inklewriter can track events and stats without the need for player notes or flipping pages. Dedicated interactive fiction languages, the most prominent being Inform 7 , are advanced enough to model physical simulations – everything from enabling players to mix liquids to controlling a cast of characters with complex AI routines to breathe extra life into their actions.
Creators tend to be drawn to work with text for two reasons. First and most obvious is the power of the written word. But its flexibility is just as important, as are practical considerations.
"I like text because it's cheap and effective for telling the stories I want to tell," says Inklewriter creator Jon Ingold. "In a graphical game, everything that you add costs a lot. With text, I can tell a story that visits a hundred places or involves a cast of thousands."
Stephen Granade, organiser of this year's Interactive Fiction Competition agrees, but puts his focus on the other side. "Why use text? Because it provides experiences that other types of games don't. Text games excel at providing a strong narrative voice in a way that's much harder in graphics-oriented games. They can be emotionally affecting in the same way a good book can be."
Combine the two, and you get the modern text adventure landscape: a world where any worlds are possible, and any experience that can be described can be realised in some form. Every year, more and more clever ideas emerge, some as part of each year's big competition, others as standalone games.
One of the most successful recent examples is Fallen London , which uses a mixture of cardgame and CYOA mechanics to create a glorious alternate world where Victorian London has been abducted by bats and relocated on the edge of Hell. You play a prisoner in a jail carved out of a stalactite, freed to seek your fortune in the streets – to be a force for good or consort with demons as you choose. Or both.
Fallen London creator Alexis Kennedy is one of the biggest advocates for pure text, though did ultimately yield and permit a few graphics to sneak into both that world, and his company's latest big project, the world creation tool StoryNexus that lets anyone make games in the same style.
"There isn't the kind of limit that there is with a graphical interface," he explains. "We haven't gone as far as I'd like – we keep drifting back to the relatively comfortable tropes of you being an antihero in an exotic place, but things we like doing in Fallen London are things like what happens when your Scandal gets too high. You get exiled from the city and spend an indeterminate amount of time in a story told in purely epistolary mode – writing home to win support. That would be impossible to do if you were representing it graphically, in a game that also had to do other things."
Graphics have a lure of course, and even Kennedy wouldn't necessarily say no to seeing a big budget game set in his universe of Dickensian subterfuge. ("I'm not going to lie, I'd love that. That would be a thrill," he admits.) Yet it's hard to imagine the result ever meeting his narrative approval.
"Most of the things you'd end up doing in a traditional Fallen London RPG would be the things you'd end up doing in any other RPG, because that's what their engines are designed for. It'd look very interesting, but you'd spend your time there beating up demons for experience points, not spending a week in a sado-masochistic romance with one."
Fallen London is relatively unusual, not just in setting, but in being one of the few text-based games that supports its creators. Kennedy was willing to share that it currently gets around 20,000 monthly players, adding "By the standards of a social game, that's microscopic. For an indie game, it's pretty good."
And the audience for text games in general?
"On a bad day, I'd describe it as 'niche'. On a good day, I'd say 'cult'. As far as I know, we're the biggest of the current breed of text-based narrative platforms, but I don't think we're orders of magnitude bigger. As far as I can tell, most of us have an audience in the thousands."
This meshes with IFComp's stats, as shared by Granade. Despite being the most visible part of the modern IF community, it's a relatively small scale affair. "You've got about 30 games, played by around a thousand people. Of those, about 150 vote."
These numbers make up a devoted community though, whose members are often drawn to the creative side of things. "A huge proportion of our players have had a go at writing a novel, or a blog, or would like to be a writer," says Kennedy, whose StoryNexus creation tools are new on the scene, but likely to benefit from being just one click away for players of Fallen London and other games built on it.
Unless you're John Carmack, the relative ease of creating text-based games is obviously going to be a big attraction. Although as Carmack once infamously described story in games as being "like story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important," he probably wouldn't be that interested anyway. For the rest of us mortals, writing an all-text game, especially alone, is always going to be a more realistic goal than creating even a basic platformer in GameMaker and similar.
"We chose to make a tool for writers because, you know, writers write well," says Ingold of Inklewriter. "That meant no learning curve, no programming, and no requirement to hold a map in your head of how the story branches. And I think we've been successful – Inklewriter is being used in schools with kids as young as 8 and 9."
Kennedy himself ascribes at least part of the creative interest to the mindset needed to appreciate IF in the first place. "When a game is mostly text, it requires a level of focus and investment that a graphical game doesn't necessarily demand. For people willing to give that commitment, the next obvious step is to try it themselves, especially when they're already in a creative space like StoryNexus."
While StoryNexus, Inklewriter and a number of other systems offer the ability to create worlds without any programming, something no technology can get around is how long it takes to write a game. Fallen London for example has over 812,000 words – the equivalent of eight regular novels, or one prologue by George R R Martin. Given the small size of the audience, why not just write a book instead?
"Novels are amazing and interactive stories won't replace them," says Ingold. "But there are things interactivity lets us do that novels don't. Exploring is one – in novels, you see the world but only as a background for the action: if you really loved the Mines of Moria, you can't hold up Frodo to delve deeper. In Sorcery , there's a whole world to travel through, and the interactivity can let you do that."
What you definitely shouldn't expect is to make a fortune via this route. "You see some one-off attempts, but at this point few people are trying to make money writing IF," says Granade.
There are ways though, especially with the most recent services out there. StoryNexus offers the ability to sell content using an in-game currency called Nex, split between service and creator. Inklewriter games can be converted to Kindle books for £5 and then sold on Amazon like any other service. Both Kennedy and Ingold are more upbeat about the profit side of things. StoryNexus recently sent its authors their first payments, and Ingold is currently at work on the aforementioned Sorcery – his second iPad game – which converts the old Fighting Fantasy series of the same name to a new format.
Kindle and iPad are easily the best thing to happen to text-based games in years, not simply because these devices are great at handling words, but because monitors aren't. Longform reading on the web doesn't suffer only because of reduced attention spans or the world falling into philistine illiteracy, but because settling down in your office chair to read a long text on a monitor is as uncomfortable as finding your mother's dog-eared copy of Fifty Shades Of Grey in a shoebox under the bed.
Some games find ways around this. Fallen London's card system and limited number of turns per session make it a bite-size experience, for example. But web browsers and big screens will never be an ideal configuration for most readers, and so the focus is moving elsewhere.
"People can get lost in their iPads and their Kindles for hours," says Ingold, who recently launched an iPad conversion of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. "As designers, we're going to have to have to adapt to make ourselves fit the tablet model, too."
Kennedy goes one step further. "The natural medium for story on handheld devices is text. You can tell story through game, through video, but reading is such a natural activity on a handheld device that I would expect to see growth there."
Even if the games themselves move away from the PC, in search of more comfortable screens and more pocket-friendly formats, it'll still be the PC (and Mac, of course) where they're written and curated. To move away from graphics isn't the easiest of things, and finding your style of game can require work. Take the time though, and you will be rewarded with some of the more imaginative stories on the PC – and potentially a creative new way to show off your writing and design chops.
It's not all about colossal caves and twisty little passages any more. Here are a few IF highlights that show off how varied the genre can be, from card-based trips to the 'Neath to hunts for lost pigs. In the print version of this, we also linked to a interesting James Bond text-adventure used to promote Skyfall - unfortunately, that's been taken offline now. Still, if it was good enough for Bond...
Gloriously dark and dripping with wicked culture, but a game that takes a little while to open up. Using cards to represent random events, explore the underground realm of the Traitor empress with no greater purpose than to live a virtual life. It can get repetitive, but the higher your stats get, the more stories become available and the more control you have over your destiny.
Pig lost! Boss say it Grunk fault. Grunk need help. Grunk an orc, and not good at description; detailed expository introspections on combining inherently ludic nature of interactive fiction and unconventional prose style not Grunk's thing. But Grunk's story funny. Grunk win 2007 Interactive fiction Competition. You probably like Grunk. Help Grunk find lost pig.
While this is iPad only, sorry, there is a live demo on the site. This is easily one of the most stylish attempts at bringing interactive fiction to portable devices so far. It's not really an adventure so much as a live retelling of the story, placing you at the good doctor's side as he meddles with things man was not meant to know. All wrapped up in some very nice interface work.
An oldie but a goodie, this spy story is one of the most enjoyable examples of unreliable narration, and a story that couldn't be told any other way. Your mission went badly wrong, and your 'adventure' is the story you spin to an interrogator who knows a lot more than you do. To survive, you must weave a precarious path through the gaps in his knowledge. It's not easy, but it is extremely clever.

Although built on the same engine as Fallen London, this is a very different kind of project – a Rogue-style RPG based on decks of cards. Its most interesting twist is splitting the action into Surface and below decks. Surface decks fill in your backstory and restore your Spirit. The more you use them though, the darker your story becomes and the less reason you may have to ever return.
A great example of how interactive fiction can work without a big dramatic concept, Bee is simply the story of a girl trying to win a spelling bee, despite low motivation and a difficult home life with her religious parents. This is also a good introduction to a basic rule of playing interactive fiction – if you see the name 'Emily Short' listed as the writer, it's going to be a good one.
Just because a game communicates through text doesn't mean it can't provide atmosphere. This proto-hacking game is set on the bulletin boards of the late '80s, telling a mystery mixed with romance, wrapped up in wires. Some nostalgia for the sound of a dialling modem will help, but absolutely isn't required to have a good time digging into this retro-sci-fi mystery.

I need to find a job where i can bring both babes with me. The only thing i can think of is a part time nanny gig. Does anybody have any other idea's?
The only thing I can think of is maybe working at a daycare or working at a ymca where you could put them in their daycare.
You might get lucky if you spread the word - family and friends - and maybe find somebody who works from home but needs some filing done, etc. I don't know how baby friendly it is and I forget you have 2... Or maybe someone who needs computer type work done that you could do at home. I know my dh could use somebody who is familiar with certain programs who could fill in data, etc. in their own home, on their own time yk?
Just trying to hellp

Doctor Who jokes by FlyingGuineaPigWatch
©2012-2016 FlyingGuineaPig
What better way to improve a bad day than by thinking up jokes about Doctor Who?
Now, I'm pretty sure that I came up with most of these, but some of them were fairly obvious and so it's entirely possible that someone else thought of them first. No plagiarism intended if that is the case.

OMG! So awesome! Especially the knock-knock one and the "If it's avian it's ours." Great work!
You spelled Slitheen wrong. (Slathine is incorrect)
"If it's avian, it's ours."
I've been sick and that cheered me up. THANK YOU!
I am so using those yo mama jokes xD
Oh my God, Jack. Just, Jack.
Why do I have a feeling that Jack would actually say that if he met a chicken?
lol i couldn't hold in my laugh when jack flirted with the chicken. he should do that in an episode....
Jack's answer *dies laughing*
Seriously, anything that moves.

*It's "Slitheen." Although I can understand your misinterpretation due to the accents of any and all Doctor Who characters (except Jack's). These jokes were brilliant, fantastic, AND cool!
I can't believe that I can understand this.

Tasmania's capital city is an intriguing blend of heritage and lifestyle, scenery and vibrant culture.
Accommodation Hobart Hotels.Tasmania's capital city is an intriguing blend of heritage and lifestyle, scenery and vibrant culture packed with historic and interesting hotel accommodation.
Most accommodation in the city centre will allow for easy walking to the marina and associated restaurants.
Hobart is warm sandstone, bright spinnakers on the water, fish punts at the docks, the slap of halyards on masts, coffee under the striped sun umbrellas of Salamanca, an occasional frosting of snow on Mt Wellington, bush tracks and birdsong.
Hobart HotelsNot far from any Hobart Hotel is Hobart's busy arts scene including art, craft, music and theatre. Here, you can enjoy Irish jigs or pub rock, a flutter at the Wrest Point casino, street buskers and string quartets, and theatrical performances both classic and contemporary.
In Hobart's galleries and studios, our artists and craftspeople make bold and beautiful statements in pigments, glass, pottery and fabrics.

Channel Choice voting is closed
Voting for the ever-popular Channel Choice awards is now closed.
Much like the popular-vote TV Week Logie Awards, ARN's online-only, people's Channel Choice awards give ARN readers a chance to choose their favourite vendor, distributor or partner over the past 12 months.
The winners of the four Channel Choice category awards are those organisations with the most votes through ARN's online poll. Only one vote per person/business email address will be accepted.
The four awards in 2015 are software vendor; hardware vendor; distributor; and partner. The vendor category has been organised into two areas (software and hardware) in order to give vendors even more of a chance to be rewarded and recognised.

Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept
The Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept is a design study for a futuristic vehicle powered by a nuclear powetrain and built to last 100 years without any maintenance. The author is designer Loren Kulesus.
The Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept was designed with longevity in mind: it is powered by a Thorium nuclear powertrain andfeatures redundant major systems.
Replacing the conventional wheels are four sub-systems made up of six individual tires, each integrating an induction motor, for a total of 24 units.
As Loremo Kulesus explains: "The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted."
About the Designer
Graduated from the Art Center College of Design, Loremo Kulesus has worked – among the others – for General Motors Advanced Concepts (2006-2008) and Nissan Design America, San Diego (2006).

The Failure of Forensic Science Reform in Arizona
Hammond, Larry A., Judicature
Despite a promising environment, the effort to implement the National Academy of Sciences forensic report never got off the ground.
Last August I thought that Arizona would be among the first to embrace the lessons of the Report issued by the National Academy of Sciences only a few months earlier. Arizona was about to be one of the first to embark on a partnership between the courts and the forensic science community to show that there really was "a path forward."
The idea was simple. We would ask the Arizona Supreme Court to establish a Commission or Task Force to look at the NAS Report in the context of a broad range of possible criminal justice and forensic science improvements. The Commission would have representatives from all points of the compass. Our Crime labs, forensic experts, law enforcement, prosecutors, defense lawyers, academicians, and victim advocates would be represented. The judiciary would establish the Commission, but views from ever)' quarter would be solicited. The end product of the Commission's work would be recommendations for criminal rule changes, legislation, and other improvements that could make Arizona an innovative leader in forensic science in our criminal courts.
Sadly, some time between August, 2009 and the end of the year, this idea evaporated. The collapse of this idea invites three questions: (1) why did anyone think this plan would succeed; (2) why did it not; and (3) what lessons can we learn from Arizona's experience. Let me begin with the reasons that led many in Arizona to think that this collaboration would flower.
Reasons for optimism
The National Academy's Report was published in February, 20Ö9. It was the culmination of more than two years of hearings. Arizona seemed ripe to become a place where the Report would be received with enthusiasm. The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University was one of those institutions where the report was sure to generate close attention. That law school is home to the Arizona Justice Project - the fifth oldest innocence project in America. The law school had just created a new clinic to look at post-conviction problems that may have led to wrongful convictions - problems that could either be aided by forensic science or could reveal areas in which forensic expert testimony might have Jed to error in the past. Apart from its innocence project associations, the law school also boasted a well respected Law, Science and Technolog)' program that had been deeply engaged in DNA work and in forensic science reform.
Recent developments at the law school and in Arizona provided another good reason to be confident that there would be a favorable and collaboration-minded response to the NAS Report. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) had just the year before awarded $1 .3 million to die state for a unique joint undertaking by the attorney general, our Department of Public Safety forensic laboratories, and the Arizona Justice Project to undertake a systematic search for all homicide or sexual assault convictions in which DNA testing not available at the time of trial might prove innocence today. Arizona might become the first state to be able to claim that it had attempted a complete canvassing of all potential DNA-provable exonerations.
The collaboration required to conceive of the grant idea, and to bring it into existence, was unprecedented. Administered and guided by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, the project was well underway by February, 2009, and serious law enforcement-defense community cooperation had begun to be a reality. For the first time in Arizona history, representatives of the Arizona attorney general and our Justice Project were joindy making presentations on DNA at prisons throughout the state.
The law school also had a new dean, Paul Schiff Berman. He replaced a dean who had exhibited an abiding interest in forensic science, and he was certain to share some of that same passion. …

Vt. town adopts tobacco-free community policyThe Associated Press | August 01,2013SHARON - The town of Sharon isn't the first in Vermont to prohibit smoking on town-owned property, but it's going further with its new Tobacco Free Community Policy.
Vermont Public Radio reports that the town recently updated its tobacco use policy to include a statement describing its goal of protecting the health of all community members. In addition to prohibiting the use of tobacco products on town-owned property and in town-owned buildings and vehicles, the policy says the town will take other steps to discourage the use of tobacco by employees and citizens.
That includes referring employees to smoking cessation programs and giving them time and incentives to participate. The town also will urge local businesses to establish tobacco-free zones and will promote cessation and prevention programs at town-wide events.MORE IN This Just InPROCTOR A citizen committee has finalized a survey to poll residents on a new town office...

One thumb drive to rule them all
Wouldn't be cool if all of your files, including all your movie and song collections, are stored in a keychain-sized thumb drive? Well, if money isn't a big deal to you, then Kingston might just have what you're looking for. Folks, meet the world's first 1TB thumb drive – the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0.
Apart from being the world's largest-capacity USB 3.0 flash drive, Kingston recently announced storage solution is also a speed demon reaching transfer speeds up to 240Mbps and 160Mbps write-speed. According to Kingston, its mammoth capacity and incredible speed allows users to view/edit large files straight from the thumb drive.
However, the colossal capacity and blazing fast read/write speed isn't the only thing that's insane about the DataTraveler HyperX Predator. The 512GB version of this Zinc alloy-enclosed thumb drive can be had for a bank-breaking USD1,750. Just imagine how much its 1TB brethren will cost once it debuts on the latter part of this quarter.
32 Comments on this Post
Well, Kingston, you can keep that insanely overpriced little toy of yours to yourself, thank you very much.
At that price, you can already get a decent ultrabook.
Kingston has just the first to bring this much too dear great little-toy into reality. Data storage companies will surely release the same for competition and surely makes pricing this stuff down.
Yeah, Keep that insanely overpriced little toy of yours to yourself, Kingston. At that price I could have already bought a number of portable External HDD.
Two to four years from now, CD-R King will introduce a flash drive with the same capacity for less than a thousand pesos. By then, those who bought this overpriced product will look completely idiot.
Syempre bibili lang nito mga enterprise na may kaya at may need ng ganito kalaking kapacity into such a small form factor. Hindi katulad ng mga cheap fanatic ng CDR King. haha
Enterprise? nah. I don't think there would be a real need of such unless CIA sila kailangan sobrang portable.
And don't forget the show-offs. Wala naman alam sa technology. Bibili din pala sila nyan.
Must suck being poor huh nameless? I make that much money in a day because I'm smarter then you.
@Join Judging from your comment you're not smart as you think you are.
Natawa naman ako sa "I'm smarter then you"
Hahaha.. Trying hard mag english.
Go buy it for yourself then let me laugh at you! Pity for those who has money yet don't know a thing.
Hingi ka pambili sa mommy at daddy mo, dali!
You'll go crazy if you'll lose it.
Right! Hehehe! You can buy one Macbook air for that price.. and how sweet and easy it is loosing a 1TB worth of data!
Boom! Featured at Digitalspidey.com – http://goo.gl/tXYeu
SIR YUGA MAY EMAIL AKO SAYO.. PLEASE CHECK IT RIGHT AWAY. THIS ABOUT AWESOME TRICKS SA iOS 6…
Well if you will consider the Swissknife it has the first 1TB USB storage.
all my life's stuff are neatly stored in a big cabinet in my room. don't need no godzilla-priced silicon.
not worth it at hindi praktikal bilhin ng mga average joe. bagay lang ito sa mga intel agencies at sa mga agents na mala-james bond na pang-espionage ang gamit.
2013 na. dapat dati pa to lumabas, so slow ang technology, maxado madupang ang mga computer manufacturers. pero ok lang at least magsisipagsunudan na ang iba. di ako satisfied kahit sa storage capacity ng mga phones, hanggang 64GB lang. di kasi magkasya lahat ng mp3, music video, at movie downloads!
Its good to know that we have a new technology like this, but for that price? i'd say NEVERMIND =)
Will wait for the CDR King release. LOL
I'm thinking it would reach around $2,500-$3,000. With that price I'll just buy 30pcs of shock proof 1TB Portable HDD. Or 1pc 2TB Shock proof portable HDD, Synology DS213+ NAS, 3TB WD Red HDD for NAS, and $2000 extra money for movie and dinner date with GF for 1 Year Hahaha
nagbabasa kaba? $1.7k nga lang eh.. dame mong satsat magbasa ka muna.
kuya, 'yung $1.7k na price, pang 512GB lang, hindi pang 1TB.. basa uli..
ayun! may nagmamagaling pero supalpal naman.. tsk
@Marc: Haha! Hihirit na lang, sablay pa! Bopol!!!!
@marc toinks! anung feeling ng nasupalpal? hehe
wait lang ako sa CD RKING version baka mura ra hehe
antayin ko na lang gumawa 1tera na usb ang CDRKING lol
My sister needs this! She already consumeed up to 800GB from her two externals xD
most largest internal memory on flash
And then you lose 1TB of data while distracted and leaving from a coffee shop. Whoops.
Yuga, wala bang China-China version nyan?
Well, for the price, I'd get a decent laptop, an SSD for it, and a 1TB External Storage. That ought to be better.

His eyes have never been so glorious, I knew his hair was blond, because the live-action version of him, which appeared during the trailor, had blond curls hanging from the hat
I've never seen the live-action version. I must see it! O_O
das epic!
im currently drawing this picture hopefully it looks better than this but for a future tip: adventure time characters arms are mostly curver and his right arm is bent like a triangle!
whoaaa this is soooooo werid i was watchin adventure time when i saw finn hair and your drawin this is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well then, Check....THIS OUT! (pulls off hat) xD
I think the best bit was when in one frame he had wicked hair, and in the next he had none. Best gag on the show so far.
It was a really good episode. I was on shock when they showed him take his hat off.
Thanks alot!
Thanks alot!
