Neutral Zone podcast giving away 10,000 Cryptic Points
Neutral Zone is a fairly new podcast devoted to Star Trek Online - they're just into their fourth episode, and it looks like they're beginning April with a bang. The hosts of Neutral Zone have teamed up with Cryptic to give 10,000 Cryptic Points to one lucky listener. What do you have to do to win? Well, the podcast hosts are seeking feedback on their podcast as they get things underway, and your contribution counts as an entry into the contest. They've got several ways to leave feedback: you can take their listener survey, leave a comment through iTunes, or send an email to the staff. If you've not listened to any of the Neutral Zone episodes, never fear. You've got plenty of time to check them out and offer your opinion, as the contest deadline isn't until April 29th. All the details can be found on Neutral Zone's contest page, so take a look, and good luck! [Thanks Tristin for the tip!]

Toshiba bolsters 32nm mSATA SSD lineup, your future netbook nods approvingly
We like to think of 'em as the SSDs for the little guys, and we couldn't be happier to hear that they're getting bigger and bigger in terms of capacity. Toshiba introduced the first solid state drives to use the mini-SATA interface back in September of '09, and while those 32nm units were made available in 30GB and 62GB sizes, the pack rats weren't satisfied. Now, the company has introduced a 128GB flavor with an mSATA interface, offering up a maximum sequential read speed of 180MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 70MB/s. The 128GB modules are said be one-seventh the volume and one-eighth the weight of 2.5-inch SSDs, and in case that's not enough, the third-generation HG SSDs will bring nearly twice the aforesaid speed and will ship in capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Hit the source link for all the dirt... except for the pricing, naturally.
