I’ve built my HTPC like one year ago, don’t know why I have never written about it on this website.

The idea came many years ago, but without $, it was not possible. Fist my main computer was near the tv, so I used to connect to my old tv using a S-Video Cable and a P2 to a RCA Cable, and as a Tube Tv, the quality wasn’t that good, and I couldn’t almost read any text on the screen, just big texts like subtitles.

Yesterday after school, I decided to take a look at some gadgets at the public market to see what stuff would I find there. And that’s what I found, a ugly Ipod and PSP fakes. Didn’t take note on the ipod fake, but the “PSP” plays some games (not PSP games), comes with a 512mb SDcard where all the files, mp3 and movies goes. The screen quality isn’t good if comparing with the real PSP.

Washington: Scientists are working to create a ultra-dense storage systems for computers and electronics. If the system works, it would enable storage of density of more than 100,000 terabits per cubic centimetre i.e. a device the size of an iPod nano could hold enough MP3 music to play for 300,000 years without repeating a song or enough DVD quality video to play movies for 10,000 years without repetition.
