Intel's slightly delayed leap into the SSD game is now official, with the company announcing a $595 pricetag for an 80GB SSD, which comes in 1.8-inch (X18-M) or 2.5-inch (X25-M) sizes for the same price, with 160GB versions coming later this year. While that's a considerably higher price-per-gi
GPS Signals Will Improve Thanks To Massive $8bn Overhaul
Despite fears last year that the Air Force wouldn't be able to afford many more GPS satellites, a massive $8bn upgrade is being planned for overhauling the satellites, replacing each of the 24 satellites over the next decade. The Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo will be working on the![Blazing Samsung 256GB SSD Is the One We've Been Waiting For [Ssd]](http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/256ssd.jpg)
