Just when we think that platter-based storage is on its way out it keeps on coming back with a vengeance. A few years ago it was perpendicular recording boosting storage densities by a few orders of magnitude, now it's a pair of new techniques that could push things much further. Your average disk today can manage a couple-hundred GB per square inch while still delivering reliable writes, but if all goes to plan the write methods called bit-patterned recording (BPR) and thermally-assisted recording (TAR) could raise that to 1TB per inch initially and upwards of 10TB per inch down the road. BPR relies on segregating the disk sectors with lithographed "islands" while TAR relies on heating and cooling techniques that preserve the data in nearby sectors. When these Wonder Twins combine, disk sectors can be as small as 15nm in diameter and write speeds can hit 250Mb/sec. Yes, that's megabits, so while you'll be able to store a lot more data than on conventional platters, you won't be able to do so any more quickly than now.New HDD writing methods could boost platter densities by 5x or more originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 10 May 2010 13:45:00 EST.

Earlier this week, we asked you to share your favorite personal landing page. A personal landing page is a small-scale web site that directs visitors towards your other profiles on the web, a central page you can direct people to, instead of writing and linking a laundry list of your online presences—your Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Last.fm, and other profiles.
If you're looking to set up a personal landing page to unify your online presence without the work of setting up and maintaining your own web site, the following services can help. Read on to see the most popular personal landing pages.
Note: For the screenshots below, we took snapshots of real profiles from all of the services, as discovered by Google searches or provided as examples on the main site of each service. Since the services are customizable, don't assume that all personal landing pages from that particular service look exactly like the sample screenshot. Visit the service web site for more information and to see how you can customize your own site.
The Unhub service isn't as much a personal landing page as a personal landing bar. When you give people your Unhub profile URL, what they see is an Unhub bar across the top of the browser pane and your featured site below it. Unlike most personal landing page services which limit you to well known social networks and services, Unhub lets you link to anything you want. If you want the bar to have your Amazon wish list, your YouTube profile, a link to your Wikipedia page, and then links to a couple virtual portfolios of various work you've done, you can do that. You select the site Unhub will bring the user's focus to and which sites will be displayed across the Unhub bar. Unhub includes a URL shortening tool and site analytics to help you see which links get clicked the most and which profiles interest your visitors. You always have to point Unhub at something, even if it's just your Facebook profile page. If you're looking for a service that serves as a one-stop information board for your visitors, you might consider some of the other personal landing pages in this week's Hive Five.
Card.ly, as the name would imply, is a business-card-styled personal landing page. You can tweak your Card.ly profile with all sorts of customizations, scaling it from a simple set of social network icons people can click to a full-fledged mini-portal, with a profile, personal quotes, and additional information about you. Card.ly has a demo account, available here, where you can play around with the themes and settings to get a feel for the service before you sign up.
Flavors.me is a personal landing page that emphasizes style and presentation over an abundance of widgets. The Flavors.me layout is designed to showcase a photograph or piece of artwork with a small bio and a set of links layered over it. Although the design is simple, the creative variations user come up with are quite interesting. You can browse through a directory of profiles here to get ideas. Simple and punchy design aside, Flavors.me sports a user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface that makes it quick to get a site up and running. You can check out our review of Flavors.me here.
Compared to other contenders in this week's Hive Five, Chi.mp takes customization to another level. Instead of merely allowing you to swap out pictures or select which links you want to include, Chi.mp lets you build multiple profiles and highlight what's important to you. You can make a professional profile to share with colleagues, a personal profile to share with friends, and as many variations as you need for different situations or projects. In addition, you can emphasize some of the content you share over other content. Say you want to emphasize, for example, your Twitter feed over other shared content like your Flickr photos, Chi.mp lets you promote the Twitter feed to appear more prominently.
ClaimID has the least splashy personal landing page offering in this week's Hive Five. The emphasis at Claim ID isn't about expressing your artistic side, or wildly differentiating yourself from the crowd, but instead on showcasing the services that are important to you. Customization is limited, but it's easy enough to create a long list of all the services and web sites you want to share. ClaimID is tied into the OpenID service, so if it's important to you to show people that you've actually been verified as the person you're claiming to be, and that your links actually point to the real profiles of John Q. Smith, then you may want to consider ClaimID's personal landing page, despite the lack of eye candy.
Now that you've had a chance to look over the top five contenders for best personal landing page it's time to cast your vote in the poll below:

The issues Steve Price was dealing with last year—inability to find a desk that fit his needs, lots of computer noise and heat—that led to him building a custom computer desk were again factored into his most recent build. His new desk drops a few monitors, angles them more effectively, and includes a under-desk shelf to keep the power strips and cables off the ground and tucked out of site. Check out the gallery before for a closer look.
If you have a workspace of your own to show off throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.
DocTranslator runs entirely in your browser, and uses Java mainly to accept file uploads and send back downloads, so it's not quite as heavy as your cynical experience might indicate. It accepts Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in both the standard formats and the 2007 variations (.docx, .xlsx, etc.), along with text documents. After picking your file, DocTranslator guesses at the language, then offers more than 50 languages to translate the document to. The languages and services come from Google Translate, so the offerings are likely to grow in the future. That's about all there is to the app—no file size limits, no sign-up or download needed, and it works as well as Google does, which is about the best free option around right now.
If you know of another, better free document translator, though, we're open to suggestions in the comments.
