That’s one hell of a lot of storage, SanDisk.
Don’t you hate running out of space on your SD cards? It’s bad
enough when it’s just pictures, but it gets worse when it’s video
or music. I know it's becoming a real pain to move stuff around
on both my smartphone and tablet just to make sure everything
fits. And that’s why SanDisk has created a 400GB MicroSD card.
The Ultra microSXDC USH-I is the largest memory card in the
market. And yet, it’s as tiny as any other micro SD card. And
according to the company, it’s got a transfer rate of 100MB/s. The
line also comes in smaller sizes, but the maximum is the
impressive part.
Hell, it puts the onboard memory of several common devices to
shame. And at $250, it’s a fairly reasonable price for that kind of
utility. It's funny to think how far things have come in such a
short time. I still remember when USB sticks were 256Mb on
avergae and still have a stack of six or so hard drives that don't
even come close to 400GB all together
You can currently order this little beauty over on the SanDisk’s
site, though I’d guess the usual suspects will get to stocking it
eventually.
Amazon Purchases Whole Foods
Maybe we won’t have to call it Whole Paycheck
anymore?
Amazon just closed a deal to acquire Whole Foods, and
you can already see the difference in pricing. Organic
produce has had its prices cut nearly in half from what
they once were. Staples like milk, eggs, meats and the like;
thoroughly reduced in price.
As a matter of fact, Whole Foods may well now be priced
competitively. Which is a total 180 from what it once was.
As a matter of fact, many of the store chain’s employees
worked late to make sure all of the signage reflected the
change of pricing on time. So long, Asparagus Water; you
weren’t good for a damn thing.
Yes, that was an actual thing that was sold in a California
Whole Foods store, because we California's know no
bounds when it comes to stupid thing to waste you money
on. Whole Foods themselves stated that "The product was
made incorrectly and has since been removed from the
one store where it was carried."
It certainly seems like Amazon’s acquisition of the chain is
going to do them wonders. At the very least, Whole Foods
is less likely to Hoover several hundred dollars out of your
pocket next time you go.
