Planet Magrathea has a spoiler-free review of the upcoming Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie by M J Simpson, who claims to have been “studying and documenting the life and career of Douglas Adams for more than 20 years.”

Many computer hardware sites have posted the recent announcement from Hitachi about their perpendicular recording technology. The company claims that this new hard drive technique will allow the introduction of a one-terabyte drive within a year.

Kick it!
