Vista SP2 released: What you need to know

Your Vista machine is about to get a big fat update from Microsoft, so we thought you should probably know something about it.

It's the second service pack for Windows Vista, and contains all updates released since SP1 was released early last year. Most notably, SP2 adds Blu-ray disc-burning right into Windows Explorer, meaning files and folders can be dragged and dropped to Blu-ray discs just like DVDs and CDs can now.

500GB in a MacBook: Seagate Momentus hard drive tested

Apple won't sell you a 500GB harddisk for your Mac yet, but Seagate will. We've been testing Seagate's 2.5-inch Momentus 5400.6 500GB ST9500325AS SATA harddisk, which works a treat in the new unibody MacBooks, and is compatible with PlayStation 3 consoles.

500GB is a whole hell of a lot of storage, and 180GB more than the maximum drive capacity of 320GB that Apple sells. And, this much larger drive will cost you only about S$145 (US$102.98).

Once installed and formatted, you'll get about 460GB of usable space. It's a quiet little 5,400rpm disk like the ones that come with new MacBooks, giving maximum read speeds inside our Mac of 67.04MB/s and write speeds of 66.91MB/s. We tested with a 2008 Unibody MacBook with 2GB of RAM and a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, using Xbench.

New colors + TV = MSI U123

MSI's newest Wind has gone on sale in the US, upgrading to an Atom N280 processor from the previous N270 for some modest performance gains. What else is new as compared with the last-generation Wind? Four colors instead of two--blue, red, gray, and white. So a family of four could have its own MSI Wind party and not mix up their laptops.

Laser-etched laptop tray made from recyclable materials

This Type Tray acts as a barrier between a hot laptop and your legs, which is great because up until now I've always used a pillow to protect myself from tech-related burns.

Veer and Scribble Product Design configured the tray to allow heat to dissipate through its 3/4-inch layer of 100 percent industrial wool felt. The Type Tray also features an intricate typographic design laser-etched into the surface, courtesy of P22 Kilkenny and Cavetto. The product also does its part to help Mother Nature by only using recycled (and recyclable) materials.

The Type Tray is available for US$100.
