    • It's an album about a breakup, done with beats instead of mopey lyrics. But the beats are raw, and the emotions are there, even if there aren't many words on top of it. While possibly not Scott Herren

    • Supersuckers
    • Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

    • The Redwalls
    • Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

IBM Demonstrates New Memory Technology Better Than Flash

A new chip technology, called phase-change storage, developed by IBM and its partners was recently demonstrated to be 500 times faster and use half the power of current Flash memory, according to Infoworld0. The technology could also replace smaller hard disks.

IBM said this technology would "do a better job of storing songs, pictures, and other data on iPods and digital cameras than current flash memory, and could someday replace disk drives." Phase change memory has advantages over Flash memory. Like Flash, it is also non-volatile, but so far the testing shows more durability compared to Flash memory which starts to break down after 100,000 writes.

IBM lead a team that included Qimonda and Taiwan's Macronix. Customers will have to wait a few years for the technology to become commercially practical.
