I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lacie's SilverKeeper (http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/). It works very well for backups; basically syncing your folders with the backup version (on your iPod, or your FireWire drive, or wherever). Unlike CarbonCopyCloner it removes files from the backup that are no longer on the source, and it only copies the files that have changed. Also it'll let you keep multiple copies of the backups.

Yeah...but doesn't Retrospect (http://www.dantz.com/en/products/mac_desktop/index.dtml) do the same thing but better?

Hopefully I'll be getting my 1981 4001 rickenbacker that I've saved for and the Christmas and birthday money. Snows like stopped the deliverys though :(

I shouldn't be saying this...but comparing this and the Stanford Shopping Center thread, it would appear that the latter is the place to go for a last minute pickup tomorrow (though I'm sure they're getting fewer).

Bit of a scam that this isn't an upgrade from the Tweetie app.

Me too. I've always loved Alfa Romeo. Well Fiat is here...so we never know...maybe one day we will see Alfa Romeo as well.
Me three. The Brera is a sexy piece of kit.

Nice, another back seat mod.

Hi,

Just purchased a new 13" high end Macbook Air...love it!!! Question, sometimes when I'm on a web page in place of a picture there's a blue question mark instead of the picture....why is that???

Thanks!

I'd assume the 'other' category would be a mix of Lightworks, Media100, Premiere Pro and maybe even Sony Vegas. Mizzurah posted a link to the most recent version of the survey I was trying to recall and it has Avid at 76%, FCP at just under 20% and 'other' w/just under 5%.

Good I had to do some editing in Media100 once and it was one of the most horrid experiences of my professional life.

Please don't post duplicate posts on MacRumors, thanks.

I'm getting this... one day.

Amen brother.. Arguably my favorite car under $300,000 right now. I've never been so enamored with an 'inexpensive' car. (Note, I use inexpensive loosely here).

The only people who want to compare it that way are apple fans. The rest of the world rightfully compare it according to device. Smartphone OS to smartphone OS.

If the situation were reversed Fandroids would be saying the same thing. Don't try and take the high road when it isn't one of your choices.

Just whilst my Mac's in for repair, I'm having to use a PC. Trying to replicate the experience though, and I have to say that GNOME Do is a fantastic piece of software, far superior to Spotlight or even Quiksilver.

where did you get this background man ?

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for binding a NAS to Open Directory for user/group authentication? A number of NAS will authenicate to Active Directory, but apparently OS X Server's Windows support is well below par to support this. QNAP have a firmware update expected July/August which will inbclude wider LDAP support, but is there anything that will work now?

I am excited.. ....... :(

I am exited. :p

Enough with 5Ps navel gazing, or lint collecting, or whatever??

Like I said, probably more forthcoming. I'll try to swing some for the marvel fans out there :-D

For $100, you'd expect so. This is a thread about free tools and SilverKeeper is one of them.

SilverKeeper has a been a solid performer for me on my LaCie 250gig d2

curious if there was a line here....

As far as putting limitations on digital content, that's their right. It is _their_ content. If they make the wrong decision, they'll come around when someone smarter makes the right one.



I think this is just the point. Thay have made the wrong decisions. Again and again. We now have a situation where all of the DRM incentives so far actually stimulate piracy. Because circumventing the rights management results in a better consumer experience.

Here's an example.

I own hundreds of DVDs - I was a classic early adopter. I like to get movies early. I live in the UK and the movie studios like to release movies later in Europe. So I own a large collection of Region 1 DVDs. I also rent a lot of DVDs perhaps 3 or 4 per week. These are all Region 2.

But the DVD drives in Apple computers are all region-locked. Five changes and that is it. So you have to pick. Rented disks or dvd collection.

So thanks to a studio-imposed attempt to control the market. They are undermining my legitimate enjoyment of my own movie collection. I do not feel grateful to them for this. It might be their right - but it is morally wrong.

As a customer I resent their interference. I regret paying for so many disks because my experience has been soured. If you are a loyal customer, your loyalty should be rewarded and not punished.

The way to beat piracy is to identify loyal paying customers, and guarantee them a better, more convenient, more rewarding experience. Send them newsletters. Give paying customers free iPod versions. Give them behind the scenes extras. Shiny boxes, free competitions. Reward them for paying.

But instead they are so terrified of piracy, that publishers are willing to ruin the experience of paying customers in the impossible hope that it will slow down the access of non-paying customers.

Consumers punish this sort of behavior. And they have a right to do that - even if its only a moral right and not a legal right.
