I’ve been having great fun with my new iPhone 3G 
I have been watching the blog for the iPhone Dev Team who are working on a new version of their software to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone and have been waiting for new on when they will release the software to Unlock the iPhone 3G.

For those of use who recently upgraded to the new Firefox 3 browser, there is also a newish beta version of Firebug.
If you have never heard of Firebug, it is a great tool for inspecting all elements of a webpage from the HTML to the individual CSS Style sheets. Comes in very handy when creating new websites.
The guys over at Reg Hardware have a cool article.
Hitachi has pledged to release a 5TB 3.5in hard drive within two years, and it claims two of the drives will boast enough capacity to store everything in your brain.
According to a report by Nikkei Net, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies will use Current-Perpendicular-to-Plane Giant Magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) magnetc read heads to achieve the aim. This, the firm claims, will allow its drives to store 1TB of data in every square inch of the recording surface.
Hitachi’s announcement is a step on from a claim it made back in October 2007 that 4TB of storage could become a reality by 2011.
It’s worth noting though that Hitachi’s not the first storage company to promise super-capacity HDDs. Back in August 2007, rival Fujitsu announced that 2.5in disks were its proposed ‘patterned medium’ for such compact storage. It too plans to have commercial models available by 2010.
