Fun fact according to the research: top 5 countries for $1 tickets are the US, the UK, Italy, Canada & Germany, and your chances of finding a $1 fare are best 30-100 days in advance, peaking at 90 days.
Re:WD announces WD Black². 100GB SSD + 1TB HDD hybrid on Monday November 25, 2013 @10:18AM (#6794429)
