3,000 people killed in a train explosion

Up to 3,000 people have been killed or injured in a huge explosion after two fuel trains collided in North Korea, reports say.
The blast happened at Ryongchon station, 50km north of Pyongyang, South Korea's YTN television said.

The incident reportedly happened nine hours after North Korean leader Kim Jong-il passed through the station on his way home from a visit to Beijing.

Officers described Skilling as "uncooperative and intoxicated" and deemed him "an emotionally disturbed person" because he was accusing bar patrons of being undercover agents for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

"At one point, Skilling went to the middle of the street, put his hands behind his back and began talking to the sky, asking if FBI cameras were capturing what was happening," the motion says.

To be honest I think we'd all do the same if we'd been through what he has!

Hard drive speed limit is reached

US scientists have found the theoretical maximum speed that data can be written to a PC's hard drive.
...............The good news is that this is still one thousand times faster than the best magnetic hard drives in use today
