Iomega Helium External Drive: Yum!

Photograph Courtesy The New York Times
The New York Times' Personal Tech section features the 320-gigabyte eGo Helium USB 2.0 portable hard drive. The article says that MacBook Air owners will be drawn to this peripheral's design.

To quote from the article:

"The 2.5-inch eGo (compatible with Mac OS X 10.1.5 or above and Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, XP and Vista) mirrors the Air’s aesthetics, from its own light weight (7 ounces) to its equally barely there frame (0.63 inches thick). The 320-gigabyte hard drive, which is available now and costs $150, comes formatted with Apple’s HFS+ file system and can store 1,280,000 photos and more than 5,920 hours of music."

I don't have the MacBook Air, but this peripheral is yummy nevertheless.

Vincent de Groot: Faces of India Part 2

Photograph © Vincent de Groot-All Rights Reserved
This is the second installment of Vincent de Groot's photographs of India on this blog. The black & white photographs, of people in markets, are arranged in a SoundSlides slideshow accompanied here by a hip-hop style of music....it could well be modern Bhangra or something similar. As I mention in my earlier post, this might be a little incongruous at first, but maybe this is precisely what the photographer intended.

Vincent de Groot took photography up in earnest in 2001, and progressively switched to digital photography since then. Born in the Netherlands, he worked and lived in Germany, then Switzerland and currently resides in France.

His previous slideshow on Indian portraits on TTP is here: (Link)
