LaCie 5Big is Slightly Less Infamous Than HAL 9000 [Storage]

We doubt that the LaCie 5big Network storage array will one day spontaneously become self-aware and take over your office, but the visual nod to HAL is unmistakable nevertheless. And on purpose. Designer Neil Poulton said he created the array thanks to inspiration from the supercomputer at the heart of 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, aside from that all seeing eye thing on the front, this beast is all about affordable storage, not ending your life.

At the LaCie web site, we learn the 5big has five hot-swappable Serial ATA drive bays that, when fully loaded, can hold up to 7.5 terabytes of information.

There's some leeway on config options too, as the drives can be configured into RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, RAID 6, RAID 10 and RAID 0. Additional external drives connect with USB 2.0 or SATA ports.

The 5big works with Windows, Mac and Linux at three different price points. The 2.5TB version is $899; 5.0TB clocks in at $1399; and 7.5TB will set you back $1899. Keep it away from airlocks, just in case.[Technabob]

Drop-Down, Rotating 103-Inch Plasma Screen Video is Pure, Glorious Gadget Porn [Rotating Plasma Scr

http://gizmodo.com/5062311/drop+down-rotating-103+inch-plasma-screen-video-is-pure-glorious-gadget-porn

I can't decide if it's the subtle piano playing in the background or the slow, seductive movement of this 500-lb., 103-inch plasma that's got me all hot and bothered today. I guess I could care less either way, because this dancing television is all sorts of wonderfulness. And it's practical too, as the 180-degree rotation makes any room in the crib the best seat in the house. [Ballerhouse]

Pharrell joins Madge onstage in NYC


Pharrell Williams thrilled fans by making a surprise appearance onstage with Madonna in New York.

Williams joined Madonna during a gig at Madison Square Garden on Saturday to perform the star's hit "Give It 2 Me," which he co-wrote and co-produced.

Madonna used the show to continue her tirade against U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, after slamming the Republican at two previous concerts on her Sticky + Sweet world tour. She played a screeching note on her guitar and said: "This is the sound of Sarah Palin thinking." She also gave out condoms to the crowd with the politician's face on them, saying that she promoted safe sex - a dig at Palin, who has five children, including a teenage daughter who is expecting a baby with her boyfriend.

But the Queen of Pop showed a more caring side to the crowd by dedicating "You Must Love Me" to her daughter Lourdes, telling fans, "My beautiful Lola is 12 today but when I first sang this song, she was growing inside me."

waddya think?

M.I.A., N.E.R.D., TI, Franz Ferdinand, and Chaka Kahn peddle some ugly jeans
so, i went to the DIESEL XXX party last night. i know there are a lot of people here who were trying to get tickets. if you weren't able to, don't worry, you didn't miss much. i suppose it was worth it for the free booze, funnel cake, and cotton candy, but the actual performances were kind of lacking in luster (except for m.i.a. and chaka kahn, they fucking killed it). i'll give you a rundown and pictures but you have to excuse my shitty writing style. i also might end up leaving stuff out because i'm really hung over and the place was such a huge clusterfuck so i could barely tell what the hell was going on most of the time.

first, o fracas played... they were alright but i don't know who these people are so i'm just going to move on. chaka kahn came on stage and the place went a little nuts. she was amazingly fierce but she was only up there for like 2 or 3 songs before she peaced out.

apparently joel and benji madden dj'ed this thing. i didn't see them but they sucked so damn much i couldn't stand it. too much fucking techno, goddamn.

after the dj set and possibly some other random bands, franz ferdinand played. this is where stuff started to get out of hand. people were being pumped full of liquor all night and pretty much deprived of good music for the entirety of the dj set, so when franz ferdinand got on, people started jumping around and generally beating each other senseless to get closer to the stage.

then... THEN t.i. showed up. he was one of the special surprise performers. i decided to go outside to get some oxygen right before he came on. all of a sudden i hear "what you know" playing accompanied by the shouts of a million fangirls so i had to make my way back in and lie my way to the front of the stage. sorry i didn't get any pictures of him performing, idk what i was thinking. he performed for 15 minutes or so and had probably 10 pairs of crusty panties thrown at his face while he was up there. aaaand yes, he remained sexy while doing so.

next up was the fabulous, the incomparable m.i.a. she just scurried her pregnant ass up on stage and stood right behind a keyboard so no one could see her stomach at first. then she started going crazy and gyrating her belly toward the crowd... it was adorable. i'm not an expert on how big pregnant ladies get at each stage, but i'm going to go ahead and estimate that m.i.a. is somewhere between 8 and 10.5 months pregnant. seriously. she's going to pop any day now. she still managed to dance around like a kid on sugar though. it was so loud that i couldn't even hear most of what she performed but she definitely did 'boyz'. santogold, who i love, was on stage with her (she's the pink haired chick) but she didn't do SHIT. she was acting like a fucking cracked out background singer. i don't know why she didn't just perform a few of her own songs. it was just a little confusing. lolol, apparently, that isn't santogold. i'm sure she was still there in spirit.

n.e.r.d came on while maya was still on stage. my love for pharrell williams died on this night, my friends. after m.i.a.'s performance segwayed into n.e.r.d's, pharrell had the bright idea to suggest that everyone throw their drinks at each other. now, i'm going to just assume that pharrell williams has never actually been in a crowd at a concert, because if he had, he would probably know that telling a crowd of 5000 drunkass motherfuckers to throw their drinks at each other is a bad fucking idea. YOU OWE ME A BLOWOUT, PHARRELL! thanks to you, i got a cup full o' i don't even know what thrown right at the back of my fabulous head. ok, well, i didn't really care that much because i was more messed up than patsy stone at a rave by the time they got on stage. i'm slightly disappointed by the fact that they were one of the headliners and they performed a grand total of 3 songs... THREE! again, it was loud as hell in there and people were all drunk and soaked in alcohol/covered with powdered sugar and pretzel salt so i couldn't really pay very much attention to the actual performance.

if you managed to struggle your way through my incoherent babbling, you will be rewarded with pictures. shine on

Garbage singer Shirley Manson to marry boyfriend


ROCK star Shirley Manson has secretly got engaged to her mystery boyfriend.

The Garbage singer turned TV star was snapped sporting a massive sparkler but is refusing to talk about marriage plans.

Asked about her ring, she said: "It's a nice rock but I've decided not to talk about anything like that because it turns into a nightmare."

Last night at his home in Edinburgh, Shirley's dad John insisted he would get into trouble if he spilled the beans.

He said: "All I can say is she is very happy.

"The two of them have been together for a while and things are going well.

"They live in LA but they have been to visit and our whole family have met him.

"Shirley is coming back to Edinburgh at the end of the month. I think he will come with her."

Shirley is working on solo material in LA as well as her breakthrough TV role on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Her A-list pals across the pond include rock star couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

John said: "She's very busy and has lots on the go.

"She played us solo material she has just recorded and she is contributing to a Dusty Springfield compilation album.

"I'm so proud of her. When I see her name on the credits of Terminator I get a warm feeling."

Shirley was caught on camera at Comic-Con in August where she appeared with the cast of the the hit TV show.

Her boyfriend was spotted holding her beloved dog Veela.

Shirley, 42, was married to sculptor Eddie Farrell but they divorced three years ago.

Trailer for The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond


Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Evans, Will Patton, Ann-Margret, Ellen Burstyn

Plot: A long-forgotten Tennessee Williams screenplay telling the story of Fisher Willow (Howard), the disliked 1920s Memphis debutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her.

After returning from studies overseas, Fisher falls in love with Jimmy (Evans), the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father (Patton) and an insane mother who works at a store on her family's plantation. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt (Ann-Margret) who controls her family's fortune, but when she loses a diamond, it places their tenuous relationship in further jeopardy.

Richard Garriott Reaches Orbit, Can Finally Act Out Plot of Tabula Rasa [Geeks In Space]

http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/418644645/richard-garriott-reaches-orbit-can-finally-act-out-plot-of-tabula-rasa

http://gizmodo.com/5062309/richard-garriott-reaches-orbit-can-finally-act-out-plot-of-tabula-rasa

Computer game millionaire Richard Garriott is now in orbit. At about 3 a.m., the current luckiest geek in the world blasted off in a Soyuz TMA-13 capsule alongside U.S. astronaut Michael Fincke and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov. The three will circle the Earth a few times before docking with the International Space Station on Tuesday. At that time, Garriott will conduct a series of experiments that will probably not include level grinding in his sci-fi MMORPG, Tabula Rasa. One thing Garriott and company may not be able to do when they reach the ISS? Go to the bathroom.

This is because the $19 million toilet (?!) isn't sucking up waste like it's supposed to—just as it wasn't doing a few months ago. A replacement pooper isn't scheduled to arrive until November.

Frankly, we don't know what's worse this morning: The fact that a white-knuckle ballistic re-entry could be in Garriott's future (as it was for Soyuz capsule cosmonauts over the past few years); or that floating, zero-G space poo could turn his once-in-a-lifetime journey into the world's worst obstacle course.
