From the BBC:

Any paper document can be turned into an interactive touchscreen using a projection and camera system developed by Fujitsu.

The system lets users instantly copy text and photographs by using a finger to draw a box around them.

Now before you go, huh what ? TLC (tender love 'n care) I do have to explain the introduction title. Samsung very recently released the new 840 series SSDs. The new 840 uses TLC NAND flash (TLC is short for triple level cell) cells whereas the PRO models (as tested today) still use the popular MLC NAND. TLC is short for triple level cell, but it’s simpler to state that each TLC NAND cell is able to hold three bits of data while MLC was only able to record two bits. A TLC NAND flash chip will hold 50% more data than an MLC NAND flash chip with the same number of cells. The increase in density however makes that NAND type a bit slower. In fact as such the 840 Pro series uses MLC NAND, and the more affordable basic 840 SSDs use TLC. With TLC NAND reportedly beings a good chunk slower and having less write cycles, really you might want to be on the lookout for the PRO models, as we'll test today.

Meet Intel's second-generation data center-focused SSDs, the S37oo Series.

This week Intel introduced its next-generation of data center solid state drives, the Intel SSD DC S3700 Series. This new line promises low latencies, consistent IOPS performance, strong data protection and high endurance to meet the needs for HPC, big data, cloud-computing and other data center applications.

This chart details the specifications of a selection of 2.5 inch SATA III SSD drives with a 256GB capacity.  All SATA III drives will function with a SATA II interface, but at a slower speed.

Prices are as spotted in November 2012.

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST), which is now a subsidiary of hard drive manufacturer Western Digital, announced yesterday that it will soon be bringing to market a sealed hard disk drive filled with helium instead of air.

Users will be able to connect Thunderbolt-equipped peripherals to remote hosts using optical cabling in 2012, Intel told IDG News Service on Monday. The company reaffirmed its commitment to get optical cabling on the market this year, which will allow much longer cable runs beyond the current three meter limit. This, in turn, will allow the technology to achieve higher transmission speeds in the future.

From Bit-tech:

If there is one company that knows what it’s doing when it comes to brand extensions, its Corsair. It wasn’t so long ago that the company solely produced RAM, but now you can almost build an entire PC from nothing but pirate branded parts - they produce cases, PSUs, CPU coolers, SSDs, speakers, keyboards, headsets and now, mice. Frankly we don’t know where they find the time - some companies find it hard enough to produce decent products for just one market, let alone nine.
