Tech Review for June 19, 2012

They are calling for a ‘heat wave’ in Toronto, Ontario.  Apparently, we have a name for 3 days in a row that are above 30 degrees celsius.

I just spent 3 days in China, average temperature was 32.  Better yet, I followed that with 7 days in Taiwan and  the average temperature there was 35 degrees.

Bring on summer!  The only thing better than 3 days of hot weather would be 3 days of hot weather on a beach with a cold drink.

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

Since the flooding in Thailand devastated hard drive production capacity, Western Digital’s product releases have fallen behind as they’ve focused upon rebuilding and getting back to pre-flood production and development levels.
