Bulletproof HP myth?

Hewlett Packard decided it would be cool to see if one of their high end
StorageWorks xp 12000 Disk Array systems would take a bullet for the team. The result? A
Mythbusters style take on high-velocity .308 calibre M80 round meets pressed steel and silicon. The irony is the best comedic moments are […]

Cringely on macs - windows api?!
