Rebit 5: Better Than Ever, but Not Quite as “Ridiculously Simple”

April 1, 2011 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I received my new Rebit 5 device, a charmingly slim, black 500 GB portable hard drive, on March 21st. (There was a time when Rebit wanted  to get away from selling hardware, but that idea seems to have fallen by the wayside.) The first time I tested a Rebit drive, the software was pre-installed on the drive. Also the second time. And the third time, with the SaveMe drive I got for my mother. … [Read more...]

Surprise! No More Dmailer Online

March 25, 2011 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

It seems like only yesterday that I was writing my review of Dmailer’s online backup service. It was actually almost a year ago. That was long enough, apparently, to convince the folks at Dmailer to get out of the crowded online backup market. They’re handing their online service over to YuuWaa.

March 5, 2011 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Last week Ivan Misner asked me to add some features to the BNI Podcast website, namely the Digg Digg  and the Translate This Button plugins. Installing plugins is a simple enough task, as anyone who works with WordPress knows. Configuring them, however, can take some time. I determined that a horizontal layout was best for the Digg Digg sharing buttons given the fact that they showed up right … [Read more...]

Computer History Museum’s New Exhibit Comes with a Warning

February 19, 2011 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

There’s a new exhibit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, which the Ur-Guru and I enjoyed a visit to a few years ago. The exhibit is called “Revolution: the First 2000 Years of Computing.” What? Two thousand years? Yeah, you thought the Babbage Engine was old, but the Antikythera Mechanism dates back to the 2nd century BCE. The Computerworld article about the exhibit … [Read more...]
