Got an ioSafe Solo USB Hard Drive water/fire proof 1 TB today. It’s still copying my time machine backup partition to the new drive. Using disk utility to do it. Registered it, but didn’t upgrade it to three or five years, that was my only chance. Might buy another one in a year, if they have a bigger one for $199. I bought mine from buy.com.

Oh yeah mine has a hitachi drive inside of it, disk utility said so.

Update
” Could not restore – Cannot allocate memory”

Just got that error, trying again. hmm. I think either disk utility doesn’t work, or drive is messed up. Not working right again.

Update
ioSafe drive is fine, my other external hard drive is having problems. Might of lost all my time machine backups, not a big deal. Doing a backup with carbon copy cloner into a dmg file. ioSafe is fast, not completely silent though. Probably not as loud as other drive.

Update 2/25/10
The drive is louder then I thought, when I woke up, all I could hear was the ioSafe. My mac was sleeping. Might have to turn the ioSafe off at night, not sure why it makes so much noise when its not doing anything.

The Apple Magic Mouse, would have to be the best mouse I’ve ever bought. Thought I would have to get use to it, but it’s pretty easy to use. Magicprefs lets you make the tracking speed faster then what the built in mouse preferences lets you make it. It doesn’t work on glass, neither did my logitech mouse. Don’t really care though.

Update
You might want to buy a wrist rest if you get a magic mouse. My wrist is hurting, the damn thing is flat.

Yup it’s true the MacBook will get updated with a blazing fast intel atom processor, it should be shipping sometime next week. You can view the benchmark of it here. It got a pretty impressive 990, I assume lower numbers are better, so it did better then my mac mini that got 2542. As you can see the motherboard and bios are both by Apple.

Update
I just did a benchmark on my MacBookPro6,1, you can view the results here.

And there you go, obviously it can be faked, I’m sure I could of changed the processor and all that other info too, but I was to lazy. And obviously their program should check the data before submitting it.

Oh yeah have fun apple fan boys believing everything you read.
