Steve Jobs puts out a super-thin notebook, a movie rental plan, a better Apple TV, and some improvements for the iPhone.
  • The underestimated accomplishment...

    Actually, I've been reeling for weeks at the implication that Leopard's Time Machine is * the most elegant backup solution in the history of computers * ...

    And now Time Capsule comes along to put the icing on that cake. Same elegance, same functionality, serving multiple clients wirelessly with a terabyte drive...?

    If you think, "Time Machine, so what?," consider: What's the biggest hassle of synchronized backups? Redundant files, especially if you've moved any from one location to another, so they get copied again as if they're new. But Time Machine pays that no mind - exactly one copy, and the location only changes according to "the day" that you view it in "hindsight."

    Nearly idiot-proof backup on your primary system drive, and now wire-free! And the Time Capsule doubles also as a wireless router and a network server volume as well! Hell yes.
