Most buyers looking for a SATA3 SSD would expect the blazing fast performance of drives in the Vertex 3 class, and for good reason. Why else would SSD manufacturers bother putting such a speedy interconnect in place if the rest of the drive can't keep up with it?

They'd probably have their expectations reinforced if they saw the mighty SandForce SF-2281 was powering said drive. The Corsair Force Series 3 ticks both of these boxes, but there's a very important feature missing that you'll only discover after a little research.

If your IPv6 strategy is to delay implementation as long as you can, you still must address IPv6 security concerns right now.
If you plan to deploy IPv6 in a dual-stack configuration with IPv4, you're still not off the hook when it comes to security. And if you think you can simply turn off IPv6, that's not going to fly either.
The biggest looming security threat lies in the fact that enterprise networks already have tons of IPv6 enabled devices, including every device running Windows Vista or Windows 7, Mac OS/X, all Linux devices and BSD.

Researchers have been testing (their website appears to be under heavy load) a new display that can be embedded into a contact lens and powered wirelessly by a detached energy source. Despite the fantastic possibilities of such a device, it has a long way to go before it ends up in an eyeball near you.
For now, the rudimentary display is merely proof of concept. In its current form, the electronics for the device can only manipulate a single pixel. Researchers intend to improve this limitation, however, with a little more time and research. "Our next goal is to incorporate some predetermined text in the contact lens.", said Lead Researcher, Dr. Parvis.

In a monster blog post that would stretch the 640KB memory limit of early PCs, Microsoft has detailed the streamlined, just-11-clicks! upgrade process for Windows 8 — as in, the installer that appears when mom or pop insert a Windows 8 disc into their Windows 7 or Vista computer. Don’t worry if you’re a power user or IT admin, though: the reboot-into-installation-environment process is fundamentally unchanged, but 50% faster.
Basically, the Upgrade Advisor and Easy Transfer tools are being integrated into a single, end-to-end installer that’s capable of performing all of the preparatory tasks — compatibility checking, settings/files transfer, suspending blockers like BitLocker, and so on — and then carrying out the install. Additionally, the upgrader now has the option of downloading the Windows 8 installation files from the internet. This marks the first time that Microsoft has offered a consumer-oriented digital download of its Windows OS — and obviously might have been inspired by OS X Lion’s availability in the digital Mac App Store.
