Ultra High speed RAM from G.SKILL

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

2400 MHZ speed, but timing is  10-12-12-31. Its super fast if it could be lower to 10-10-10-31. They are super expensive BTW.

Edited: 6/28/2012

It is also Intel XMP 1.3 Ready for 3rd gen Intel CPUs, so I believe it could set to extreme low timing.

Mac Flashback infections make news

Sales of Mac security software have jumped since the news broke last week about a massive malware infection of Apple computers, according to application statistics and some antivirus vendors.

From BBC news, More than half a million Apple computers have been infected with the Flashback Trojan! Once the Trojan was installed it sent a message to the intruder's control server with a unique ID to identify the infected machine. By introducing the code criminals are potentially able to control the machine. As result, one can lose control of their Mac.

Symptoms:

According to some experts, Mac Flashback Malware not only install invisibly, but also exhibit no symptoms. If you are infected by this malware, you will see no change in your Mac’s activity. The only way you may see some activity is if the Flashback malware were to connect to a remote command and control server!

"People used to say that Apple computers, unlike Windows PCs, can't ever be infected - but it's a myth," For those who still think Mac can't be infect with virus and malware, gotta pay attention!!!

Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook Review 

What is MSATA. What are the benifits for using MSATA MSATA is the technology used for the majority of today's hard drives and people generally like it. But SATA wasn't designed for tiny portables. That's why the guys behind SATA are introducing mini-SATA, or mSATA for short. It's supporting 1.5 Gb/s and 3.0 Gb/s transfer rates (peaking at half the speed of existing SATA), mSATA is intended for drives that are roughly the size of a business card.
Some motherboards out there carries MSATA slot. I believe most user would put MSATA SSD on it.
PRO:
Comes in handy.
Use SSD as drive cache if motherboard supports.
Save an internal drive bay.
CON:
Small capacity since the MSATA card itself is small. It only could has 3 memory chips on it.
Low speed, max speed is 3Gb/s

Motherboards that carry MSATA port:
