Since 1999, we have been developing the BIOS Optimization Guide, affectionately known as the BOG. From a meager beginning of a single page, it now covers over 440 BIOS options. As old BOG readers will know, we started offering two editions of the BOG since Revision 8.0 - a simplified edition and the complete edition.
Normally, the complete edition is only available to subscribers who help sponsor the development of the guide through a small fee. However, that changes today! From now on, we will post a BIOS option from the complete edition of the BIOS Optimization Guide every weekend.
This week, we will be taking a look at the PSB Parking BIOS setting.

20 January 2012 – Western Digital (NYSE: WDC), the world’s leader in digital storage solutions, today introduced My Book Live Duo, a personal cloud storage system that combines the benefits of shared storage and remote access with double-safe backup or increased capacity of a dual-drive system with RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology.
Double-Safe Backup
Compatible with Mac® and PC operating systems, My Book Live Duo continuously maintains a second copy of all your files for real-time data backup in mirrored mode (RAID 1). Half the capacity is used to store users’ data and half is used for a second copy. In the unlikely event that one drive fails, data is protected because it’s duplicated on the other drive. For automatic backup Windows® users can use the included WD SmartWare® software and Mac users can utilize all the features of Apple® Time Machine® backup software to protect their data.
Maximum Performance and Storage Capacity
In spanning mode the two-drive system combines both drives into one large volume acting as one drive for maximum storage capacity, while its built-in 800 MHz CPU delivers the power and performance needed for today’s most demanding applications. Designed around the most recent advances in Ethernet chip technology, My Book Live Duo personal cloud delivers best-in-class read speeds faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives. My Book Live Duo is currently available in 4 TB and 6 TB capacities.

Two years ago, I made the big leap from Windows Mobile to the Apple iOS platform. Migrating from the clunky Dopod 595 to the Apple iPhone 3GS was like upgrading from a Lada to an Audi. There was just no comparison.
The Apple iPhone 3GS was, honestly, the first time I truly used a smartphone as it was meant to be used. I did not just make calls or send text messages. I spent a lot of time using the iPhone 3GS for a plethora of other tasks - keeping track of my schedule and budget, reading on-the-go, and of course, shooting some green pigs whenever I get frustrated.
Unfortunately, that’s when I discovered I probably used the iPhone a little too much...
