How's windows home server. I'm running a single windows 7 box, though my wife uses an XP machine that needs backup capability as well. Would you think "upgrading" my win7 pro to WHS be worthwhile?
Probably not with that setup.
I went from my Time Capsule to the HP Mediasmart EX490 to host my Time Machine backups and serve as a general purpose NAS for my home network. Three Macs each running both OS X and Windows, one PC (hackintoshable) plus the iDevices.
The hardware is decent. The software, not so much, WHS1 is based on XP/Server 2003 and has many limitations arising from that. It had several nice features like Drive Extender that made it friendlier to use than the typical RAID setup, but these have been removed for the new version that is about to be released. Plus, HP abandoned the market.
I'm planning on giving it one more chance. I'll rebuild it from scratch with a new boot drive and software install and if the stability and performance doesn't improve, I'm going to slap Ubuntu on the hardware.
Honestly right now I'd go for something like the high performance WD My Book Live http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=280, stick it on your network and back everything up to that. (Assuming 2 TB is enough space for you).

I'm going to be driving a launch meetup at the U Village Apple Store. Please RSVP if you're going to come I'll most likely be getting there between 12:00AM and 3:00AM

I'm an iPhone Developer so I'll be working on a few projects possible while camping out in line as well.

This is in line with the iPhone life cycle.
2007 - iPhone (the Apple Beta)
2008 - iPhone 3G - Complete Redesign (or, IMHO, the "real" launch)
2009 - iPhone 3GS - Modest update
2010 - iPhone 4 - Complete redesign
2011 - iPhone 4.5 - Modest update
2012 - iPhone 5 - Complete redesign. (or at least, significant overhaul.)
iPad, iPod Touch & iPod Nano follow this curve. I feel like we can expect a revolutionary new device every 2 years, and a modest upgrade in between.
What? The iPhone 3G was not a "Complete Redesign". Internally, it used the same CPU, RAM and chipset as did the iPhone 1. The only difference was the addition of a 3G radio, GPS and a plastic curved back; hardly a "Complete Redesign". Internally, the 3GS was a compete redesign, not a "Modest update"
Also, these are the internal codes for the iPhone, where the new first number is a complete revision and the second number is an update on an existing design.
iPhone 1: 1,1
iPhone 2 (3G): 1,2
iPhone 3 (3GS): 2,1
iPhone 4: 3,1

It's cute that people think Comex actually ever made a working Jailbreak for iPad 2.
I wish I could photoshop my way to 200k followers on Twitter.

Maybe you were thinking Performa - Apple's line of Macintosh that had AtEase preinstalled.

Does anyone have a facebook fan page set up for your photography? I never really considered setting one up before. Just figured the website would be sufficient, and email for receiving messages and etc. But, today, on a whim I went for it and set up an artist page. It's actually quite interesting, and a whole different experience from maintaining your normal photography site. Actually, since I'm in the beginning stages of a new site design, which will essentially be a restructuring from the ground up for how it is utilized, do you think it is best to leave the interaction side of things to facebook and let the website be more of a deep archive of the work, resume, etc?
If you're interested in checking out the fb artist page I set up, which actually includes in progress images of new work I'm putting together, it can be found at http://www.facebook.com/andybloxhamimagery

I've taken excellent care of this iPhone for the past 5 months. There's nothing wrong with it internally or externally, and all the original parts and packaging are included.
I'm not familiar with how the switch-out process happens. Do I need to get my new phone before sending out the old one, so that I can swap sims? Or do I just need to plug in my new phone to iTunes and tell it to transfer the AT&T account over to it, and it'll disable the old one? How does it work?
I'm looking to get $350 for it.
Thanks

Well thank you for taking the time to reply. It is appreciated. I went to that site; I did not know it is a $50 piece of software. It bugs me still that it is free on one new Mac and not on another that essentially costs the same.
Alas I dont know how to subvert the process, I am a bit of a newbie. The processes you kindly assume I know I do not. You are welcome to clue me in. I am still curious if the software can be had from my family member's eMac disc somehow.
Regards, ST

i did try setting compatibility mode in windows xp, it runs but its sort of buggy and crashes often, i would imagine it would be buggy under windows 7 too.
Parallels and vmware are too expensive for me, virtualbox is free but win98 runs very slowly and doesnt support guest additions, not to mention it crashes whenever vt-x is enabled
any other ideas? :)
Only thing would be to try it under 7, quite a time period between XP and 7 so the compatibility mode is probably a lot more stable.

I hate how you have to download the entire OS every time there's a small update like this. 666MB for a few bug fixes... Also, what's up with the 666MB? Maybe we should stay away from this update guys lol.

I went to the Apple Store today to get my iPhone 4 replaced due to a yellow screen issue. I showed it to a employee at the Genius Bar. I had a password set and forgot to unlock it for her. The lady didn't ask me for my password, she just simply typed in a 4 digit number. The number went "95??" I didn't see the last two digits. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Anyone want to try and figure out what the passcode is
I don't believe you. You'll have to present some actual evidence. It actually sounds like you're desparate for attention.
Good luck.

Wow, that�s going to save developers some late nights waiting for midnight!
Agreed that developers need to be treated with more predictability/consistency. But Apple has long been moving in the right direction, however slowly.

Don't underestimate the power of javascript.
I can second that... Most people underestimnate the potential of JavaScript. The software company I have a contract with at the moment writes their whole player software in JavaScript. It is jaw dropping what the guys do with "just" JavaScript!

My macbook is starting to get slow every start up. I'm checking my Login Items and found these that I dont have any idea if its system related
StatusMenu (All Users)
CheckUpAlert
iTunesHelper
If I delete those would it mess up my system? And can there be another cause for it to start going slow?

Mine is at http://www.facebook.com/markhoodphoto - I don't have a proper website as such, as I'm not quite ready to build one yet.
So for me this is really just a chance to get some more feedback, and it keeps the photo people away from the work/regular people :)
I've not allowed people to post links and new items on there though, when I did I got lots of stuff that I wouldn't call spam, but wasn't really my sort of thing. I guess I'm missing out on some interesting conversations that way, but I still feel this is 'my' page, so I'd rather not see people promoting themselves on it... I'll have to re-think that, as it gets busier.
