<strong> </strong></p>
<p>Many of us know that <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/windows">Windows</a>/DOS, MAC and UNIX all have their different file systems and metadata formats because of their competing influences and over 40 years in computer hardware and software developments, it becomes quite difficult to define an accurate outline of the function and nature of file extensions.</p>
<p><span id="more-1193"></span></p>
<p>In 1960, the first company that implemented file extensions was Digital Equipment Corporation, as it introduced a file system that broke it within the base name of the file extensions. Then after some time, the same convention was adopted by the Microsoft for its DOS as well as Windows operating system.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.file-extension.com/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1197" title="file1" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/file1.jpg" alt="" width="366" height="79" /></a></p>
<p>Microsoft first originally restricted the base name as to eight characters and the extension of the file to following three characters that made it the combination of 8 letter name with a 3 letter.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Before Windows 95, file extension was restrictive to a great extent and it was in Windows 95 and future versions when longer filenames were allowed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/file-extension.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1198" title="file-extension" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/file-extension.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="470" /></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>On the other hand, file extension wasn&#8217;t used by UNIX and Mac; they both had developed their own file systems with different convention for storing metadata. The codes contained within the file were used in Mac OSX while in UNIX systems information was stored in a single.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/registrybooster.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1199" title="registrybooster" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/registrybooster.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>But many believe that the popularity of Windows became the cause of developing the file extension that was counted the typical method of showing a file&#8217;s function. These days, Mac OXS is also utilizing file extensions.</p>

<p align="center"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/samsung-sandisk-logo.jpg" title="samsung-sandisk-logo.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Samsung offered over £2.5bn for the buyout of the company, but according to Sandisk, the figure is no more than an opportunistic attempt to reap the benefits of SanDisk’s current stock price. SanDisk’s share shot up 52 per cent to $22.82 after the news of the deal.</p>
<p>Sandisk said that Samsung showed that might pay a specific premium on the $28.75 per share price recorded on May 22, 2008 and it was the time when talks really started.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Samsung says that the current offer of $26 per share is quite fair and full and it further says that the deal is still on.</p>
<p>Samsung and SanDisk are known as the biggest companies in the emerging flash memory market as SanDisk is known as one of the biggest memory card manufacturers while NAND memory is the product of Samsung.</p>
<p>During the past few years, the capacity of flash memory has considerably increased even up to 256GB that’s making them quite suitable for laptops and similarly in many high end mobile phones memory can be significantly expanded using memory card.</p>

The captain not only stole the memory stick but also 2,000 yen in cash with 10,000 yen airline coupon in February last year.</p>
<p>On May 24 last year, the GSDF announced that the captain had been suspended for 60 days on the charge of stealing money and coupon but it covered up the stealing of the memory stick.<br />
According to Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba‘s justification the forces kept back the loss of the flash drive because they feared that the information might spread more if some people looked for it on the Internet.</p>
<p>During the last year, a GSDF‘s lieutenant colonel borrowed the memory stick that had those troops deployment maps which were used for Japan-U.S. joint military exercises during 8 to 16 February .The Colonel lent the stick to a first class sergeant first who lost it.</p>

<p>Who cares about storage if it is too costly and in fact this kind of technology becomes practically useless for the majority of the users. A number of users care about storage only when it is affordable to them otherwise who wants not to cut his coat according to his cloth. For some users the drive will be more expensive than their laptop in which they install that device or perhaps you have to sell your computer to have the wide storage in it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1 Terabyte hard disk for 17-Inch MacBook:  Isn’t it a noteworthy storage increase for 17-inch MacBook Pro owners.
