Verizon's FiOS speeds increased to 50 Mbps!!!

Verizon ups its FiOS speeds to 50Mbps, sets the internet on fire

http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/verizon-ups-its-fios-speeds-to-50mbps-sets-the-internet-on-fire/

Not content with blazing up your local connection at 20Mbps downstream and up, Verizon has once again bumped its already-painfully-fast FiOS broadband service into the realm of ridiculous. According to reports, the company is now offering a 30Mbps / 15 Mbps service at $89.95 a month, and the nerve-shattering 50 Mbps / 20 Mbps speed at $139.95. The telecom has also introduced symmetrical connections in all 16 states where it currently offers FiOS service, with a 20Mbps / 20Mbps on the up and down, starting at $64.99. Of course, it's all bleeps and buzzes in our particularly lonely corner of Brooklyn, where we'll have to suffer the indignation of a lowly 10Mbps connection until the big V blesses us with some real speed... you hearing us, dudes?[Via GigaOM]

I-O Data releases 16 GB flash drive:

I-O Data launches ultra-tough 16GB HDMC flash drive

http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/21/i-o-data-launches-ultra-tough-16gb-hdmc-flash-drive/

I-O Data is very worried about your data. Very. Worried. How concerned is the Japanese company about protecting your precious files? Well, they've gone and created a 16GB, freezable, droppable, completely water-proof USB flash drive just for your sake (and sweet Yen). You need only watch a few moments of the psychedelic mind-melter that is the promo video to realize you should... nay, must, purchase one of these puppies while the gettin's good -- as it were. Check out the technofied vision after the break, then be prepared to drop ¥25,300 (around $230) to own a piece of history.[Via Akihabara News]

"Freezable, droppable, completely waterproof."

Let the flash memory revolution begin!!!

TiVo coming to PC via Nero software

http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/tivo-coming-to-pc-via-nero-software/

TiVo has just announced an agreement with multimedia software provider Nero AG that will bring its familiar interface and feature set to the PC. According to the joint announcement made today, Nero will embed the TiVo experience in its next generation of software, allowing the millions of us who rely on USB dongles for our TV to finally join the exclusive realm of Series1, 2, and 3 owners. Plus, as Zatz Not Funny! points out, Nero's international presence should help spread TiVo to the far corners of the Earth like some digital Happy Meal. Hopefully this new PC timeshifting solution -- release window: unknown -- will also convince other purveyors of home theater-only hardware-based services to finally bring their wares to the desktop. Yes, we're looking at you, Sling.[Thanks, Dennis C.]

They just keep proving me right:
