LPD-28, the 12th ship in the San Antonio class line, may serve as somewhat of a bridge to the upcoming class of amphibious transport docks, currently dubbed the LX(R).

Who cares about those boring spiral arm galaxies when you can have the smooshed ass galaxy, or two galaxies crashing into each other? These misshapen beauties were captured by a research consortium called AEGIS, which just…
These slim Apricorn Aegis 1.8-inch drives are both USB and Firewire compatible, making them suitable for Macs and PCs. They've got a shock mounting system and only weigh 3.5 ounces, so taking it on the road with for added laptop storage isn't out of the question—it's totally in the question.
