47 of 50 people found the following review helpful Great drive if you don't need a rugged one., July 10, 2010 By  Nov Nigh - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Transcend JetFlash 600 - 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS32GJF600 (Black) (Personal Computers) Edit to review... the more I worked with it at home, the more I noticed it was faster on my home PC. My initial test were on my work laptop. I think the software we have on our work PC's may limit the speed of the USB ports as it scans what is being done. I did the same test at home under Vista and got a 31.24 MB/s read and a 20.43 MB/s write so it's actually faster than they advertised. Wow. I posted a screen shot of the results in the User's Pics. I would still like it in a metal case, but because it has everything else going for it, I'm taking it from a 4 star to a 5 star because I really like this drive. It's doing everything that I need it to. I think I may even buy another. ---------------------------------- Long story short - this is a nice drive (so far). You should get it if you need a small, light, fast, 32 GB USB flash drive. I gave it 4 stars only because it doesn't feel as though it would be a rugged drive and the black plastic...

This review is from: Transcend JetFlash 600 - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS16GJF600 (Black) (Personal Computers) There is a very large disparity in the read/write speeds of thumb drives on the market today. I purchased the 16GB version of this drive, and HDTune measures a read speed of 29MB/s. I am able to write a 558MB file to the thumb drive at ~10-12MB/s. This is pretty quick compared to the majority of the drives on the market. If speed were the only consideration involved in a flash drive purchase, The Transcend JetFlash 600 would earn five stars. Unfortunately this is not the case. For most people thumb drives travel around in their pocket or bag and so just like a smartphone or notebook, construction is a major concern. The JetFlash 600 is constructed of flimsy plastic and fits together rather loosely. The drive itself wiggles around in its plastic shell and I doubt much force would be required to cause it to bend or crack. The JetFlash 600 possesses high-end transfer rates but is hindered by flimsy construction and materials comparable to much cheaper drives. For...

Modi - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Transcend JetFlash 600 - 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive TS8GJF600 (Black) (Personal Computers) Time is money and I have saved enough time waiting for booting or copying files to pay for all 4 of these high speed USB flash drives. I use it to transfer large creative files to clients. I use a few that are dedicated strictly for computer repair - one for Windows, one for Mac and one for Windows anti-virus. Try quickly troubleshooting a computer without opening it up where not only the OS is broken, but so is the CD/DVD drive! Use it once to make a client happy and the flash drive pays for itself. The Transcend lifetime guarantee is just icing on a very yummy cake. I also have a JetFlash 300 which I have used for years. It's still going strong and working hard. Pay less for a no-name or less reliable flash drive, and you'll end up paying more by needing to replace it. Transcend flash drives are small, stylish, and reliable.

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biologysuper

Customer Rating :

List Price : $21.00 Price : $10.61

Product Description

For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

321 of 360 people found the following review helpful Important extrapolations, but not as careful or concise as I wanted, September 22, 2005 By  Peter McCluskey (San Bruno, CA USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (Hardcover) Kurzweil does a good job of arguing that extrapolating trends such as Moore's Law is better than most alternative forecasting methods, and he does a good job of describing the implications of those trends. But he is a bit long-winded, and tries to hedge his methodology by pointing to specific research results which he seems to think buttress his conclusions. He neither convinces me that he is good at distinguishing hype from value when analyzing current projects, nor that doing so would help with the longer-term forecasting that constitutes the important aspect of the book. Given the title, I was slightly surprised that he predicts that AIs will become powerful slightly more gradually than I recall him suggesting previously (which is a good deal more gradual than most Singulitarians). He offsets this by predicting more dramatic changes in the 22nd century than I imagined could be extrapolated from existing trends. His discussion of the practical importance of...

Carlson (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews          Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (Hardcover) The author is definitely one of the most inspiring of all researchers in the field of applied artificial intelligence. For those, such as this reviewer, who are working "in the trenches" of applied AI, his website is better than morning coffee. One does not have to agree with all the conclusions reached by the author in order to enjoy this book, but he does make a good case, albeit somewhat qualitative, for the occurrence, in this century, of what he and other futurists have called a `technological singularity.' He defines this as a period in the future where the rate of technological change will be so high that human life will be `irreversibly transformed.' There is much debate about this notion in the popular literature on AI, but in scientific and academic circles it has been greeted with mixed reviews. Such skepticism in the latter is expected and justified, for scientists and academic researchers need more quantitative justification than is usually provided by the enthusiasts of...

This review is from: The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (Hardcover) To say that Mr. Kurzweil is a bit of an optimist is like saying Shaq is a bit on the tall side. Mr K is positively bubbling with enthusiasim. Had it not been taken by Joe Namath a suitable title might have been "The Future's So Bright I Just Gotta Wear Shades". But therein lies the problem. Mr K comes across more like a passionate evangelical than a reasoned scientist. Whenever someone is absolutley convinced about the rightness of his assumptions I become skeptical. If you're reading this you know the premise of the book. Mr. K maintains that the pace of technological change (and by technology he means the really cool technologies, like infotech, biotech, and nanotech) is not simply increasing, but increasing exponentially, so fast that we will soon reach a point where man and machine have become one, and are brains are a million (or maybe a billion) times more powerful. When this happens everything we know will have changed forever. Moreover, this...
