Study: Digital universe and its impact bigger than we thought
By 2011, there will be 1,800 exabytes, or 1.8 zettabytes, of electronic data in existence. In fact, the number of bits stored already exceeds the estimated number of stars in the universe, according to a new study by IDC. The creation of that data will have far-reaching impact on corporations and their CIOs — and the environment.

How I replaced my PowerBook's hard drive
I thought it was possible that a badly fragmented hard drive was responsible for the slow performance. So I fired up a drive defragmenter, and let it churn away. Eventually, after many many hours, it finished. When I rebooted, though, I got nothing more than the gray screen. Here's how I fixed it.
