External Drive? Seagate or Western Digital or others

Need your advise guys.... (not for me but for a friend). Thanks!
If you are to buy external hard-drive (USB), will you choose:
Seagate/Maxtor e.g FreeAgent, Essentials, MyHome etc.
Western Digital
Buffalo
NoTouch
Anyone have experience on the above storage devices as external drive only with 500GB to 1TB capacity? Which one do you suggest to get? Friend is more worried whether big HD will be too hot. I have no idea so asking here.

Fast high pitched beeping on laptop boot

Posted By: Haroldo Jul 1 2009, 03:21 PM

My parent's have a Hewlett Packard laptop.
Their computer beeps on boot repeatedly until they press the esc (I believe) button.
I found this beep list http://docs.hp.com/en/AB216-90001/ch04s03.html document, but it doesn't list repeated (non-stop) beeping. The web page lists up to seven beeps.
I listened on a phone call and it is a fast high pitched beeping (like you're listening to morse code) rather than the "beep beep beep" like you'd expect.
Any clue what this is? (yea ... [more] |

Because of the intervention by an unnamed maker of ATMs, however, Juniper Networks has withdrawn the presentation by its employee, Barnaby Jack.
The vulnerability in the ATMs is said to be have "far reaching consequences" according to Juniper, so it has been postponed to give the manufacturer a chance to fix the problems before the details are made public. In its company blog, Juniper N ... [more] |

| Kaspersky has fixed recent malware detection problems in its 2010 products via an automatic update. The cause of the detection problems that allowed malware to be overlooked seems to have been even more severe than was initially apparent. Initial testing had shown that "Email-Worm.Win32.Kipis.u", two variants of "Net-Worm.Win32.Mytob.bi" and "Backdoor.Win32.Rbot.bng" malware was being overlooked. The malware samples used came from the WildList reference list, a list of common and important viruses and malware used by anti-virus developers as a basis for testing th ... [more] |
