The Summit Series is a piece of crap. I suppose it would make a good coaster.

It's what plants crave!

MacBook Pro update rights the wrong, enables 3Gbps SATA transfers

Ummmm, no. Apple made the switch to the Nvidia chipset with the first Unibody MacBooks (which was back in October '08) and all of those MacBooks & MB Pros had 3.0 Gbps SATA. No one know why Apple intentionally crippled the new models other than someone really screwed up.

Probably because some out of touch marketing idiot forced a stupid decision down the throats of his engineers despite their objections. Hopefully it's not a sign of what Apple would be without Jobs.

I bet there's a lot of Apple engineers saying "I told you so" right about now.

Western Digital recants, announces its SiliconDrive III range of SSDs

Because then no one would buy their piece of crap drives that use the shitty JMicron controllers. However, I do wonder why the manufacturers that do use the good controllers don't advertise that they are using quality controllers and not the JMicron POS.

Bibble 5 image management and RAW conversion software will scale linearly to 16 cores ( http://bibblelabs.com/products/bibble5 ). Most consumer software doesn't scale well because it just isn't designed to.

FireWire feedback from readers and Apple

Actually, Firewire is an Apple-developed technology and as such Apple has no licensing issues to worry about. And as per the following Wikipedia entry neither does anyone else:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire#History_and_development

There was initially a royalty that Apple and other patent holders charged for the use of Firewire but that has since been dropped. The loss of Firewire on the MacBooks is sad indeed and a deal-breaker for me.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
