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 Sells Over 1 Million iPhones in a WEEKEND!

Steve Jobs: Apple sold over 1 million new iPhones – Apple 2.0

“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” said Jobs. “With over 50,000 applications available from Apple’s revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever.”

This weekend was a significant statement for Apple. The growth of the iPhone as America’s Smartphone of choice is pretty amazing. Here again we see a very simple, integrated, powerful handheld computer (UMPC) of sorts which is making what was once inaccessible except to the most avid IT tech, now largely available to the average teen ager. The price tag of the cheapest model also says volumes.

Apple is finally getting it. Kick them when they are down!

Not only that, but the next big breaks to watch for:
1 – Apple’s new OS priced at $29
2 – That same OS’ integration with Exchange Server and the fact that it does this even better than MS!!!!
3 – Apple’s new Snow Leopard Server due to come out this year as well and its amazing price tag and ease of use.

What will Apple think of next? I don’t know, but if they offer some way to support some kind of SQL, then we are on the way to total global domination!
