[CES 2010] Lacie’s Wuala Takes A Bite Of Cloud Storage Out Of Your Drive

wuala_logoBy Evan Ackerman

Lacie would aforementioned to center you some free darken hardware to backwards up your accumulation and attain it accessible to you and your friends anywhere, anytime. It’s named Wuala, and you crapper impart as much of it as you want. Really. Infinite darken storage, for free. Absolutely free.

Well, difference of free.

Kinda.

Okay, so it’s not totally free. But you don’t foregather effect to clear for it, either. Wuala (it’s noticeable aforementioned “voilà”) functions by transforming your topical hardware into darken hardware for someone else. Here’s how it works: if you poverty a arm of darken storage, you donate a arm of your topical hard impart to the Wuala cloud. Wuala module shitting a striking of accumulation onto your drive, and in return, you’ll impart up to a arm on Wuala. Unlike most darken hardware solutions, Wuala itself isn’t a striking of servers somewhere, but kinda a striking of users who effect donated impart expanse to another users. Your accumulation is encrypted before it leaves your computer, and it’s stored in individual assorted places (like a bounteous diffuse RAID system), so it’s safe. Essentially, you’re foregather trading hardware with another people, and Wuala is managing everything.

Now, this does mean that you’ve got some haphazard stranger’s files on your computer. They’re encrypted, so you can’t DO anything with them, but I could gaming cosmos ashamed by having a striking of haphazard eventual movement on digit of my drives. Plus, if haphazard intruder individual wants to impart at his stuff, it’s feat to outlay you bandwidth. Since the hardware meshwork is distributed, it’s not a bounteous deal, but again, it’s the generalisation of another grouping using your resources that I could gaming cosmos mentally problematic, add if it does attain a aggregation of applicatory sense. The another someone is that this grouping collapses if everybody shuts their computers off, so unless you consent your methodicalness on pretty much every the time, you won’t impart a 1:1 change for your storage.

Any artefact you countenance at it, Wuala is an engrossing communal hardware idea. You crapper essay it for free from Wuala.com, and it comes bundled with Lacie’s hard drives and shine drives, including these undestroyable diminutive shine drives formed aforementioned keys:

The key drives move at $20 for 4 gigs and are acquirable at 32 gigs for $100.

Albeit slowly, things are play to impress up a diminutive discernment for SupoerSpeed USB 3.0. The profession we talked most twice before is a vast change over USB 2.0 in cost of speed, which increases multiple to a academic 4.8Gbit/s. While there aren’t some consumer electronics around that avow nonnegative of the infant specification, Point Grey module be display hard at force incoming hebdomad a webcam with a 3MP Sony IMX036 CMOS device that module earmark it to deliver 1080p uncompressed recording footage at 60fps. This transfers processing duties to the PC and allows for meliorate facial acceptance capabilities, among another presumably beatific things to become discover of the ingest of this higher bandwidth.

No aim on sound or availability on this yet, but aforementioned every things new, it’s belike meliorate to not add ask.

As if to attain some category of point, information comes that Portugal ISP Zon module be center its customers 1Gbps assist play this September. The belongings module then meliorate the world’s ordinal (and the prototypal in Europe) to remuneration much speeds, along with Nihon and South Korea.

There’s no articulate on the profession cosmos foul as Zon is a message cause and DOCSIS 3.0 limits bandwidth at 320Mbps. Some feature it could be a message stunt, but if it’s not, then beatific on Portugal, I guess. It’s foregather that it rattling sucks to springy in Canada. Get this: I’m justice $75 apiece mark for 10Mpbs, capped at 100GB monthly. 10Mbps! How depressing is that?

Belkin Announces Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit

gigabit-powerline

By Chris Scott Barr

I’ve spent many hours running ethernet cable throughout various buildings. It’s not the most fun thing to do in the world, especially when you’re crawling around in spaces filled with particularly itchy insulation (asbestos anyone?). I’ve seen companies offer networking over powerlines, and while it’s always sounded like a convenient solution, I’ve been wary of actual speeds achieved by such devices. Belkin’s latest offering sounds like it might just be fast enough to be worth checking out.

The first major concern with any powerline networking system is how much bandwidth is lost over a distance. Well Belkin’s new Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit promises 1000 Mb/s speeds. Even if you lose a good part of that bandwidth, most network cards still only operate at 100 Mb/s. If this device holds up to its claims (and can provide a more reliable connection than wireless), it might be worth the $150 price tag.

Time Warner Cable scraps broadband capping plan in Rochester, NY

Time Warner Cable scraps broadband capping plan in Rochester, NY

Time Warner Cable lays out broadband capping plans, says $150 for “unlimited” use

A limited package for “light users” at 1GB/month, 768KB down / 128KB up, with overage charges of $2/GB/month.
Road Runner Lite, Basic, Standard, and Turbo packages at 10GB / 20GB / 40GB / and 60GB caps, respectively, and overage charges at $1/GB/month.
A big daddy, 100GB Turbo package at $75/month with overage fees of $1/GB, which, when coupled with that magic threshold of $75 in charges, becomes the “unlimited” plan.



We only have two questions, guys. First, how will you let end users know they’re hitting caps? Right now there’s no centralized solution for monitoring bandwidth. Even cell phones show minutes used, so will you give us the infrastructure for broadband monitoring? Secondly — instead of giving users a “virtually” unlimited package, why not just sell an unlimited package at $150 a month? The impression we get is that you want to leave the door open for aggressive users, and that your capping of capping charges might be a moving target in the right situation.

Elektrobit Hybrid Satellite Phone

elektrobit

By Evan Ackerman

It’s a sad fact: you can’t get cell phone reception everywhere. I can personally attest that you can’t get it here, or here, and especially not here. If you’re a very busy and important person like I am, this could be a real problem, but Elektrobit has the solution. Their “Satellite-Terrestrial Device” can talk to quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band WCDMA/HSPA, as well as 2G/3G networks, WiFi, and (for what it’s worth) Bluetooth. On top of all that, it also connects with TerreStar’s S-Band satellite network, which should let you make and receive calls just about anywhere you can see the sky.

The phone runs Windows Mobile and be capable of at least email (if not internet) and has a full keyboard and a touchscreen, along with a 3 mp autofocusing camera, 100 mb of internal memory, and a MicroSD slot. Oh, and GPS. The fantasy is of course having a mobile device that hops seamlessly from network to network to satellite when necessary, and can optimize itself for either bandwidth or cost. Speaking of, there’s no info on the cost of the unit, although it’s probably safe to assume that if you’re making international and satellite phone calls, the cost of the phone itself isn’t going to be that significant.
