PowerHouse’s Migo Goes Total USB

By DT Staff Published October 25, 2009

PowerHouse Technologies Group, the company which sells the Migo information management software, today announced that their flagship product is now compatible with most types of USB storage devices. This is a step up from their original USB flash drive only use.

The Migo software, PowerHouse said, allows Windows-based PC users to store and synchronize documents, Outlook email, IE favorites and other common files across multiple computers. It creates the user’s familiar PC environment by carrying over settings such as desktop icons and wallpaper. All of this is run off of the USB storage device and is removed from the host computer when the device is disconnected.

The expansion of the Migo software onto other types of USB storage devices now includes most types of flash drives, memory cards and Windows-formatted MP3 players.

“The Migo software essentially transforms the USB flash drive from a basic floppy disk on a keychain to a complete portable personal computing device,” said Jay Elliot, chief executive officer of PowerHouse Technologies. “The software adds intelligence to USB flash drives, revolutionizing business and personal computing mobility by allowing Migo users to take their personal computing environment with them wherever they go.”

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.

Apple just raised the ceiling for a Pro laptop to $2000, and I find the audacity impressive

AI is making sure no one is affording new laptops

Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.

The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.
