Comcast has announce two new layers of service for the residential internet connection. It is targeted for heavy downloaders, it will upgrade internet connection speed. The two plans are called Extreme and Ultra. The Extreme plan clocks in at 50 downstream and 10 Mbps of upstream while the Ultra clocks in at 22 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream. These are extremely fast connections. And has turned on much of its subscriber. But all these come with a high cost. The speed bumps are being rolled out to 10 markets up till next year. These newest plans from Comcast roughly will cost you around $1700 annually. Three times more expensive than the regular rates they offer. They are also offering a business plan called ‘Premium’ which clocks in at 22 Mbps down and 5 Mbps upstream which costs roughly $100. Not bad for the speed.

At first, I use the converter on Gigabyte 945P to connect the ide drives to the sata ports on the motherboard. It works perfect in OSX PC system, no matter harddisks or DVD writers. You can take the unit combining the harddisk and the converter equal to a REAL sata drive.

Because the ich8 does not support IDE devices, I consider it would be a good way to build sata drives. When I connect IDE hardisk and DVD drive to the sata ports of the motherboard Gigabyte 965P-DS3, DVD drive can not boot and hardisk can not be shown in Disk Utility. I am sure the CMOS are configured right (disable sata native mode), and the real sata harddisks are shown.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has its own YouTube account. As of today, it has already uploaded 55 videos that feature tips, traffic trivia, and other advices that will help educate drivers of all ages about good (and not to mention legal) driving skills and etiquette.

And by the way, they also have a myspace account where visitors can post questions regarding traffic rules and stuff.

Hmm… not a bad idea! I think this is a pretty unconventional yet promising way to improve public service. To tell you the truth, I’d rather watch DMV videos than a toilet-flushing cat.

This is the second time that Facebook has made a booboo. Wasn’t it only last year that this particular social utility added a “news feeds” feature which only resulted to threatened protests from many of Facebook’s users. The company apologized, and I think it needs to do that again as there are reports of new complaints regarding a recently launched marketing program that apparently allows users and friends to see their online purchases. Facebook has been making steps to alleviate the situation but personally I think they need to hasten as a lot of users are getting pissed about how they put it as an invasion of their privacy.
