Sex Drive takes a familiar Route
By Michael Rechtshaffen
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Trying for reheated "American Pie" if served
up by Judd Apatow, the raunchy "Sex Drive" is by no means "Superbad," but thanks
to a likable cast, neither is it superbad.
Although the road taken is a mighty familiar one, those bright performances help
compensate for the onslaught of the sort of innocent sexism and good-natured
homophobia that constitute too much of the humor, not to mention a prolonged
108-minute running time that qualifies as more of a relationship than a
one-night-stand.

Seagate Cheetah X15K.6 Hard Drive Review
Hothardware published a review of the Seagate Cheetah X15K.6 Hard Drive.
Quote from the review: "Traditional hard disk storage is living on borrowed time. We know it and storage manufacturers know it. Solid state drives, which use non-volatile memory chips instead of rotating metal discs for storing data, are simply a better medium in the long run. They consume less power, create nearly zero heat, and produce no noise – but best of all, there are no moving parts to wear out over time. The technology and prices aren’t quite there yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Take a quick look through any tech-oriented forum and you will likely run into folks proclaiming the death of traditional platter based storage. For the most part, they're right - but there is a twist to the story as platter based storage manufacturers are fighting back.
