Western Digital has increased the size of its single platter for dual-platter drives to 320GB, giving these drives a total of 640GB. “That’s not a large capacity drive!” you say. And you’re right, but dual-platter drives aren’t about capacity, they’re about performance and price. Spinning at 7200RPM, the drives are fast, up to 3Gb/s sustained transfer. […]

Spinning at 7200RPM, the drives are fast, up to 3Gb/s sustained transfer. These aren’t for large-library media buffs. These are for hardcore video editors, encoders, and server applications. And damn if they aren’t sexy.

Like the new Hulk movie, the new Street Fighter movie is attempting to revitalize a pop culture franchise tainted in the movie industry by a less-than-stellar debut. I really doubt a movie based on a fighter can rise that much above the rest, but if it’s even nearly as awesome as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, I’ll be satisfied. Check out the lineup:

Kristin Kreuk plays Chun Li. She looks a little more Eskimo than Chinese, but she’s hot so nobody will complain.

Michael Clarke Duncan plays Mike Bison— I mean Mike Tys— I mean Balrog.

Neal McDonough plays M. Bison (née Vega if you’re in the know)

Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, if that is his real name, plays Vega. (?)

Chris Klein plays Charlie Nash, who looks pretty weak.

We’ll see if these pretty-boys and pretty-girl can live up to the legend of the original.
