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 [...]
On a scale of 1to10, it’s annoying as hell to have a messed up XBOX 360.
I got the red rings of death about a month ago. It’s a well documented (and sucky) phenomenon that afflicts older XBOX 360’s. Basically, if three red lights come on around the power switch you know that you are well [...]
My friend Andrew is a genius. He’s a 10.
I use Mac Mail. Not because it’s the best mail client of all time, but because it’s better than most of the other ones I’ve tried on the Mac (Entourage [which is Outlook for the Mac], Thunderbird, Zimbra). They have major issues. Mail has the best search, [...]
I’ve always detested one (or two) thing(s) about my iphone. My primary moan? Why not make the landscape keyboard more widely available? On a scale from 1 to 10, using a portrait keyboard to type emails on an iPhone is immensely sucky.
Apple made landscape work in Safari; if you’re in the browser and have to [...]
On a scale from 1 to 10, the Impact V photo frame from eStarling is sort of awesome.
eStarling makes several WiFi connected digital photo frames, and I’ve been playing with their Impact V for a bit. I’m impressed.
From the moment you open the box, eStarling does a pretty good job holding your hand and making [...]
On a scale from 1 to 10, I have a middling opinion of the Jawbone II bluetooth headset.
I’ve been thinking about a bluetooth headset for a long time. Since I got my iPhone, I’ve almost exclusively used the included iPod headphones / speakerphone to talk with other people. But it tangles often and it’s starting to get [...]
Disclaimer: We know, love and work with the people from 12seconds. Impartiality is severely dented, if not discarded outright.
On a scale from 1 to 10, 12seconds has done something really cool.
Today 12seconds.tv has done a few cool things:
1. They’ve re-designed their website – cool new look and feel, with a strong focus on video [...]
On a scale from 1 to 10, my waterproof ipod shuffle kicks all non-waterproof shuffles’ asses.
A while back, when I first saw Steve Jobs announce the new version of the iPod shuffle, with integrated clip and super-small form factor, I was excited. I exercise a lot, mostly running, biking and swimming. Music (or “books on [...]
