Wait, so where is the news here?

Amazon has been listing preorders for a while now, but where is the indication that these are actually shipping?

Sure, the PRNewswire article says they're available, but there's no indication of where.

gotta be your Music Thing post on the monome back in 2006.

http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/14/music-thing-monome-controller/

this post reintroduced me to the monome after seeing daedelus perform on the bit box prototype live. changed my life, for sure.

i'm now an active member of their online community and have used it as a platform for many school projects.

thanks engadget.
no dude, SIMD does NOT work "by executing multiple computing instructions at once." this implies that different instructions are executed at the same time, which is not the case.

it works exactly how it sounds, by executing multiple instances of the SAME instruction on different pieces of data. (single instruction, multiple data. durr)

but yes, it's useful for vector applications, like graphics where you want to run the same instruction on every pixel.
isn't the biggest cause of hard disk failure due to the mechanical components of the drive?

i'm a little confused as to why you would need RAID on SSDs....

if the device works when you get it, it's not going to suddenly blow transistors and lose data. the number of read/write cycles is certainly an issue, but RAID isn't the solution to that.
is anyone else bummed about the missing firewire 400 port?

it's a bold statement saying "hey, our new laptops aren't compatible with all your firewire sound cards anymore!"

Presonus is pissed.

Apogee is stoked cause they sell USB and ExpressCard products.

whoa, new layout
instead of the what?

their serial protocol is well documented and interfacing software goes to OSC and MIDI.
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!"
