CD-RW and DVD-rom "CD-RW and DVD-ROM are poised to be two of the fastest growing technologies over the next few years "Today, users have to choose between CD-RW writability or DVD-ROM compatibility."
Toshiba’s has a new SD-R1002 drive. It is one of the first to offer both DVD and CD-RW, technologies in one drive. DVD is a high-quality video and audio read-only technology optimized for movies and games, while CD-RW is a more cost-effective way to record and playback music and to backup data.
The Toshiba drive is backwards compatible with older DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs
The combo drive will be released in September. Final pricing for the drive has not yet been set, but a kit that includes the drive and supporting hardware and software will have an estimated retail price of $400.
What bumps Big Jets? Passengers taking pictures with digital cameras may affect the plane's performance. That's according to an EI-AI captain....who says whenever one of his passengers clicked, his brand-new Boeing 747-400 "bumped".
One week when he flew from New York to Tel Aviv with some 500 passengers on board.
He says shortly after he turned on the automatic piilot, he felt a bump. A check of all systems determined everything was fine. 15 minutes later, another bump.
The pilots summoned the purser to check what was going on in the passenger compartment. The purser reported people were using lap-top computers and CD players - devices that are known to interfere with landing and take-offs but are not supposed to interfere during the horizontal flight.
The purser then reported that every 15 minutes, one passenger was taking pictures with a digital camera.
The pilots asked the passenger to snap another shot..and at that moment they sensed a bump.
Cohen says the camera sent a commant to its system on the same channel that relays commands to the automatic pilot.
