My Newfound Backup Sync Solution Friends! SugarSync & BackBlaze

As I always do, I have been searching for neat ways to backup my files and to even keep things sync’d across multiple computers. I have tried different options like DropBox and Mozy, but both had issues and really were not what I was looking for. However, just the other day, I found two different things that really DID help. First, for my syncronizing across computers and such, I found Sugar Sync.

Sugar Sync

Sugar Sync is AMAZING because it gives you real POWER:
You can…

Have Back up, access and share your files
Get all of your files on-the-go, instantly and securely from any Mac, PC or mobile device. (iPhone or Blackberry and others too!)
No extra effort. No extra baggage.
It has a really great app that allows you to check in on things both on your computer AND your mobile device.
The first 2 GB are FREE!
They have the cheapest fees for their 30GB, 60GB and higher plans!!!!!

CLICK HERE for more info!
My referral link is here: https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=ein4bv5gmb0vp

As for ongoing backup, the BEST solution I have found for the lowest price is Back Blaze. BackBlaze is amazing because you turn it on and it backs up everything on your entire computer that is under 4GB in size and puts in on its encrypted server. It runs in the background better than Mozy and actually works where many of these things never work.

The cost is $4.99 per month per computer. And the storage is ENDLESS! So, I spend $15 a month and back EVERYTHING UP!!!!

The link is here: http://www.backblaze.com. 

best of all guys, these work EXCEPTIONALLY well on both my mac and my pc.

Check em out!!!!!

Live: Steve Jobs presents the tablet – Apple 2.0 – Fortune Brainstorm Tech

In a series of dispatches on Twitter, the founder of Mahalo and co-founder of Weblogs talks in some detail about a beta version of the tablet he claims to have had in hand — after signing one of Apple’s (AAPL) famous non disclosure agreement (nda) — for a week and a half.

Putting together his brief notes, here’s what he has to say:

Ok, I will take two questions about the new apple tablet which I have right here. Go ahead… My nda is basically over. 🙂

Yes, there are 2cameras: one in front and one in back (or it may be one with some double lens) so you record yourself and in front of u.

Apple Tablet has thumbpads on each side for mouse guestures, reads fingerprint for security. Up to 5 profiles by finerprint for family.

Yes, apple tablet is oled + back has solar pad for recharging, but it really doesn’t work quickly. More a gimmic. Verizon+att,wifi yes!

Apple tablet’s 2 cameras is sick feature for video conferencing: u shoot what’s in front of you + yourself. Augmented video conferncing!

Ok, I’m going to bed (with apple tablet after reading nytimes+Vanity Fair on it!), steve jobs outdid himself, its greatest device ever!!!

Apple tablet games are sick. Basically nintendo wii-level innovation. Custom farmville app is insane. Mark pincus is demoing with steve tmmr

For background: apple asked me to do press tomorrow on cnbc, cnn, etc. As a pundit they gave me tablet 10 days ago. 3people dropped it off!

apple tablet connects to other tablets over wifi for gaming. There will be LAN parties with these things, people playingFirst personshooters

The price will be 599, 699 and 799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet. Also, wireless keyboard + monitor connection for tv

Also, the apple tablet is really amazing for newspapers. Video conferencing is super stable, but nothing new.

The best part ofthe apple tablet as beta user has been the built in HDTV tuner and pvr, and the chess game.

also, Farmville for Apple tablet is a huge game changer. I know for a FACT Mark Pincus is onstage tomorrow with Jobs.

Off to bed, but I assure you I’m not joking and the specs are real….

Most of all that this is best gadget ever made and NOT overhyped. …

Comment on Apple’s Earnings and Comments by Readers

Apple reports record Q3 earnings – Apple 2.0 – Fortune Brainstorm Tech

COO Tim Cook, who ran Apple while Steve Jobs was on medical leave, was asked repeated during a conference call with analysts how he plans to compete with netbooks that cost $399 to $499.

________________________________________

I had to add my comment to this article in case they did not post it on CNN or Fortune as they have declined adding comments I wrote before.

But at any rate, here it is:

“If you are having problems with your iPhone syncing, maybe the problem is actually the PC syncing and/or the fact that you are not on mobile me. As an IT guy, I have made the painful move from PC to Mac with my fingers still in my PC and my toes dipping into the Mac…

I have found them not only flawless, but safe, easy to setup and a real wonder for unifying my information between iPhone apps, mobile me, social networking sites and iTouch. If you cannot get things working, maybe you should head into Micro Center and get a refurb mac mini for $399 or $499 and throw away that loud, hot, wasteful PC you got?!

I still use my PC, but only when I have to. Otherwise, Mac it is!!!!

One last note… I tried to render a video last year on my dual core PC and it froze, not even able to show thumbnails of things. I worked on it the other nite on my mac mini with less ram and smaller dual core processor and it not only processed it, but it did so in less than 45 minutes. As a matter of fact, it processed it while I was running imports for iPhoto from a thumb drive, processing the video on an external hard drive running at 5200 rpm, browsing the web, logged in through logmein.com from my iPod touch as I sat in bed watching a movie on my PC and playing iDragon on the iPod touch.

Once complete, with air sharing, I opened the file on the iTouch and checked its integrity!!!!

SHOCKING!”

Just a thought…

Apple unveils smaller, talking iPod shuffle

Hey Guys,

I don’t know about you, but I like the voice feature on this thing. the price tag is nice too. Read on for more…

Latest version of the digital music player announces songs, allows users to have multiple playlists.

Apple Inc. introduced a smaller version of its popular iPod Shuffle music player Wednesday with a new feature that announces songs to its user.

The new 4 gigabyte Shuffle is priced at $79 and carries up to 1,000 songs, twice as many as the last generation of Shuffles.

Users can control their songs and playlists from an earphone cord using a new VoiceOver feature, which announces the songs to users in 14 different languages. The feature is particularly useful on the Shuffle as it does not have a display screen like most iPods or other digital music players.

“You previously couldn’t have multiple playlists on the iPod Shuffle because you couldn’t really switch between them as there was no way to know how you would switch,” said Apple vice president of iPod marketing Greg Joswiak in an interview with Reuters. “So now instead of seeing you get to hear.”

The VoiceOver feature works by synchronizing with a user’s iTunes software, which installs a voice kit on the user’s computer. VoiceOver can also tell a user how much battery life remains.

Joswiak said this third generation of iPod Shuffle will be the world’s tiniest music player, smaller than a AA battery and comes in two colors, silver and black.

He said the company will continue to sell the second generation version of the 1 gigabyte, 240-song Shuffle for $49 but phase out the 2 gigabyte Shuffle, which currently sells for $69.

“We are innovating in that sub-$100 space where everybody else is worrying about cutting quarter here and a dime there and we’re trying to bring additional value to our customers,” said Joswiak.

The iPod music player has been widely credited with playing an important role in the revival of Apple’s (AAPL, Fortune 500) fortunes. The company has sold more than 200 million iPods since they launched in 2001. It launched the first Shuffle in January 2005.
