I remember when 750GB drives were all the rage, but Hitachi’s Deskstar 7K1000 drive has dropped my jaw. The retail is only $399! Several months after the 750GB drives became mainstream it wasn’t uncommon to see them selling for $500. Along with the increased disk space, the 7K1000 features a needed buffer increase to 32MB.
Not to be outdone, Seagate confirmed that they will be making a 1TB version of their Barracuda hard drive. Both of these massive drives make use of PMR which I explained in-detail a while ago. I think it’s safe to say that we will be seeing 1TB TiVos in a few months.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.
