If you have Windows Home Server, you know that backing the server itself up is a pain. But, hey, it’s a feature… not a bug : ) SyncToy has turned version 2.0, and this release finally brings the MS PowerToy up to its true potential. The tool allows for incremental syncs with endless configuration options. […]
If you upgraded to Leopard, and found your eSATA (or SATA) card stopped working… install the 10.5.1 update. My eSATA card (like many others) stopped working upon being updated to Leopard, and 10.5.1 has fixed that. It appears Apple re-added third-party SATA drivers that were removed in 10.5.0.
I’ve already touched on today, over on the PhoneNews.com Forums (in this post), that I suspect the February iPhone upgrade (I’m not calling it an update anymore) will offer Wireless Sync support. And, not the cheap Ad-hock Wireless Sync that Zune 2.0 added, but full wireless sync capacity… at least, the ability to sync using […]
I’m becoming tired of a bug that has surfaced in Leopard. It was present in Tiger but not nearly as bad. Essentially, I cannot enter the password to unlock my screen… without re-typing it at least once. I have a long password for security’s sake… it’s what Apple suggests and I agree. The problem is, […]
Remember in old versions of Windows how Network was called Network Neighborhood? It was a cute name added to make networking appear more friendly. Of course, people found it rather… lame, and so Microsoft truncated it to Network, matching Mac OS X yet again. But now it appears Apple has added a bit of an […]
As much as I like Back to My Mac, despite its security hurdles that users must jump through… it has one thing that prevents me from using it. Ports! Back to My Mac uses standard ports, ports for SSL and IPSec communication. Problem is, if you already have those ports routed, you cannot use the […]
Amazon.com started the day offering the iPod touch 16 GB at a low $380… nice sale, right? Well, they’ve upped their own ante by slashing the price during the middle of the day. Grab one now for $359.99 with free super saver shipping. And, if you bought one earlier today, send customer service an email […]
I really don’t get the big fuss about Twitter. If I want to send myself a shopping list, it gets emailed (or “noted”, as Apple Mail now does so elegantly). If I want to send a quick blast out to some people… again, email (or SMS a distant second). If I want to shout out […]
Shopping in my area has become an arms race over the years. I remember when I would be standing outside Staples, head over to Circuit City… and still get all the deals. Then the lines started. Getting in the first ten slots was easy. Now, I drive over and find the spot in line outside […]
Microsoft’s Mac team is rolling out what they call the “Best. Friday. Deal.” Considering the lukewarm Black Friday deals (and yes, I will keep calling them that at every opportunity)… they may be right. Friday (that’s today in about 90 minutes)… you can get Office 2004 for Mac, Student & Teacher Edition for only $32 […]
