catdriveStorage of personal data has definitely evolved in a fair number of ways over the years, where we are now dealing with GBs of information in something as small as a USB flash drive. The thing is, many of us also do own Internet-connected devices, allowing us to store data on the cloud as long as there is a connection. This might be convenient for the average consumer, but it comes with its fair share of potential security banana skins as well, especially when hacking or theft of personal data occurs. Halos has a bright idea: a cloud-like storage, but you get to physically secure where all your data is kept, in the form of the 1TB CatDrive.

Halos wants you to bid farewell to the cloud with their all new 1TB CatDrive, making you the master of private data as you stash all of your personal information and photos at home safely, without compromising on the ability to access it anytime, anywhere, as long as you have a decent Internet connection. With the CatDrive, one is able to store different kinds of commonly used file formats in a single place, while synchronizing all of that information on connected devices just like a normal cloud service.

The goodies with the CatDrive does not stop there. It will also arrive with other features such as a Photo Roll in order to provide a better photo display, private spaces for multiple users where individual family members only have the authority to access their own account and not others, a family sharing mode where file streaming and virtually any message shared will be sent instantly, as well as support for large file sharing. In other words, the 1TB CatDrive from Halos is like a portable hard drive, except that it boasts of cloud-like performance.

gopro-hero6It looks like it is time to get on with the times with a hardware refresh every single year. From smartphones to tablets and even action cameras, not releasing a new model each year is suicidal. GoPro knows this, which is why the company has decided to move forward from the GoPro Hero5 by unveiling the all new GoPro Hero6 Black, which will set the new bar when it comes to image quality, stabilization and simplicity where action cameras are concerned.

Touted to be the most powerful and convenient GoPro ever released, the GoPro Hero6 Black will be powered by GoPro’s very own custom-designed GP1 processor in order to help it achieve a whole new level of performance which includes stunning 4K60 and 1080p240 video, as well as bringing the most advanced video stabilization in a GoPro, ever. Apart from that, the $499.99 GoPro Hero6 Black will arrive in a rugged, waterproof, go-anywhere design that allows it to venture into the most adrenaline pumping experiences with you without missing a beat.

It will work best with the GoPro App that will automatically transform your adventures into cinematic QuikStory videos, which you can then opt to share with the rest of the world. The Hero6 Black has also greatly improved dynamic range and low-light performance in order to ensure that things really look spiffy, while the inclusion of digital zoom helps you get closer to the action if you are physically unable to do so. Even better yet is its ability to be waterproof up to 10 meters, and it captures photos in RAW and HDR formats for a wider range of editing options later on. Just in case you are unable to control the GoPro Hero6 Black with your hands, fret not: it comes with support for voice control in 10 different languages.
