Kingston drops a 256GB thumb drive on us, world’s first
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Storage,
Okay, check it. We know that media consumption is growing rapidly, those torrents are flying fast and furiously, and sometimes you just want the convenience of not having to being a notebook with you. We get it. But really, there’s no excuse to drop $900 on Kingston’s DataTraveler 300 256GB thumb drive, okay? Just buy a netbook! Or four 64GB thumb drives for a fraction of the cost. These aren’t available yet in the US, so let’s hope that when they do make it over here, that price drops just a tad.

Babies on Board: Gwen Stefani, Martie Maguire
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Pregnancies,
With Jennifer Lopez on the verge on delivering her twins, it’s time for a few more musicians to step up and take over the pregnancy pounds. Cue Gwen Stefani and Martie Maguire.
Although no official statement has been released from Stefani’s camp, the father-in-law of No Doubt‘s lead singer just revealed the private details to People magazine. Who needs a publicist when they have family? (A British paper is reporting the performer is already 13 weeks along.) This pregnancy would mark the second child for Gwen and rocker husband, Gavin Rossdale. Their first son - the ever-so-stylish Kingston - turns two this May.
In other baby news, country artist (wait - are they still even considered country?) Martie Maguire announced she too is expecting. The Dixie Chicks performer will welcome another girl into her family. (She had twin girls back in 2004.) Combined with Emily Robison‘s three children and Natalie Maines’ two, the total baby count for the group will now reach eight. Hopefully they can now officially move on from that stupid George Bush nonsense to care about more important things.
