On a scale from 1to10, I just can’t decide what this means.
In my email today (picture below) I got an email from Apple, pushing the new Adobe Creative Suites software. In the midst of the brouhaha over Apple trying to kill Adobe’s Flash software, they’re still pushing other Adobe products. Is this:
Apple being fair-minded?
Apple making an explicit [...]
I read in Techcrunch today about Google’s plans to offer broadband Fiber-Optic service to select communities. Google has requested that people offer submissions advocating for their communities (they suggest pictures, YouTube links, etc.) I thought, what better way to advocate for Foster City (where I live) than a blog post. :)
“Hey Google! Foster City gets [...]
On a scale of 1to10, the Google Nexus One is a sexy bitch. Sol decided to pick one up on the way to Vegas (he lost his iPhone in Kettleman City) and had a Nexus One overnighted to our hotel in Las Vegas where we’re staying for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES.)
This is our 5th [...]
On a scale from 1to10, this Best Buy kiosk is experiencing a serious fail.
The Best Buy Kiosk is a great idea. People like to make awesome, spur of the moment gadget and electronics purchases. Those not least when traveling and on vacation. Doubtless Japan has been doing this for many years. Damn they’re on [...]
On a scale from 1 to 10, Time Machine can really save your bacon.
Mac has a very cool program that fits seamlessly into September’s theme on data backup and protection. Not September anymore you say? Well, things have been busy. Nevertheless, for those who haven’t heard of it (both [...]
Disclosure: I am involved with the 12seconds team, and I work with the company promoting 12seconds and their technology.
Today 12seconds launched a new app in the iTunes app store. It’s called 12mail, and you can download it from iTunes here.
I know that I’m biased, being that I work with the company and all, but [...]
On a scale from 1to10, I’m a strong believer in redundancy.
It keeps you alive when you’re setting rock climbing anchors, and it’s extremely valuable when it comes to digitally stored data. I have 2 hard drives inside my PC. The two are mirrored (RAID 1 – see the Wikipedia link above). Briefly, what this means [...]
On a scale of 1to10, Google Chrome just got cooler.
This post is off-topic. Meaning, it’s outside the scope of “storage” month. But I’m excited about a new feature of Google Chrome, and that’s inspired me to write. M.G. Siegler at Techcrunch wrote a post today about Google Chrome’s latest update to version 3.0. Chrome is [...]
It’s September, and that’s storage month on 1to10. This post is about using storage to serve both your backup and media needs. How do you watch movies and TV shows? Broadcast television? Cable television? Over-the-top (OTT) services like VUDU, Netflix, or Amazon Unbox? Yeah, me too. But on a scale from 1to10, my favorite thing [...]
Tagged external hard drive, HDD, Maxtor, Xbox 360On a scale of 1 to 10, an external hard drive is a excellent beginner solution for basic backup and storage.
I’m a strong believer in the KISS principal: keep it simple, stupid. There’s lots of complex and confusing ways to backup your data, including a Network-attached storage (NAS) box, a redundant array of inexpensive disks [...]
