So let me get this straight. The XBOX360 console, which is more than capable of surfing the web by itself, needs an ad-fueled tablet or other controlling device to enable web functionality. WTH is wrong with the keypad they already have?
Forgot to add - SyncToy has three modes: Sync, Echo, Contribute. Sounds like you need Contribute.
Synchronize: New and updated files are copied to both left and right folders. So, in our example, no matter where you make the change, in My Documents or in the portable disk, both folders will have the same files. If you rename or delete a file, the action will be repeated for the left and right folders.
Echo: When you make any changes (new files, updated files, renames, deletions) the changes are only applied from left to right. So, any changes you make in your portable drive will not be reflected to your My Documents folder.
Contribute: New and updated files and renames on the left are copied to the right. The deletions on the left are not applied to the right.
I will probably get flamed because I am recommending a Microsoft solution on Slashdot (gasp! i know!) however I have had great luck with Microsoft SyncToy for backing up files and folders. If you have a network drive (VPN or similar) this will ensure everything is echoed (mirrored) to your target destination.
I prefer mirroring certain files this way as you do not have to resort to a particular backup software to 'unpack' them. If you need to access the files, just open them up. This is especially handy for photos and other media files.
While you are at it, you will want to go ahead and ban all computers and laptops that have a webcam and or sound card. Those evil webcams and sound cards "may" be used to record confidential company information.
If you don't like the TSA then get a pat down or stfu.
....If you care about the TSA's abuse of the common traveler... never walk through the scanner. Always take the pat down alternative. If enough of us do it. We win.
So true! I do the same every time I travel and that is often. I usually announce it at the top of my lungs that I would like to "OPT OUT PLEASE". I get a kick out of the TSA agents who have to tell you what they are about to do and then sometimes ask me why I don't want to go through the scanner. I tell them I work in the radio industry and that those things are untested and dangerous and if I was them I would stand far away from them as they are probably getting exposure just by being in the same room all day.
I suppose the notion of Apple becoming more open to modifiers, tinkerers, hardware/software enthusiasts, and lowly programmers would be akin to Gillette giving away the plans and patents to its razor cartridges.
I patently refuse to go through any of those scanners. I fly pretty often and it varies from airport to airport. Typically it is one of the 3 following scenarios:
1. Airport has mm wave scanners or backscatter scanners but is not using them. Metal detector only. (Best scenario)
2. Airport has mm wave scanners or backscatter scanners and alternate between using them and a metal detector for every other person in line
3. Airport has mm wave scanners or backscatter scanners and metal detectors and you get to CHOOSE what line you want to go through...(good scenario)
Yes, i did get groped this past Friday by the TSA. I yelled "I OPT OUT" at the top of my lungs. Not too many people realize they can opt out (which only means you opt in for a groping). This "let me see your papers" has got to stop. Just let us passengers carry whatever we want and when someone is out of line they will get what is coming to them.
The problem here is that the passenger didn't know their rights or they were forced against their will. With the former, its shame on them. With the latter, it's lawsuit time.

Absolutely! I wonder if the minimum RAM requirement for this version is only 4GB per session? Mozilla loves memory like a fat kid loves cake.
.....and you can still use all the new features like using your existing iDevice or Android device with the new games.
Obviously you didn't RTFA because it says explictly that Android devices are not supported. Only iOS and Windows Phone/Tablets.
He did say "keyboards don't belong in the living room". So STOP IT!
I think the shareholders are saying that "Steve doesn't belong in the board room."
Wow. Steve Ballmer batting 1000 lately.

/. was never meant to be just about tech/IT. In fact, these days, it's arguably more that way than it was as a baby.
Someone should slap the parents of this "baby"
If I had mod points today, I would have modded you up. How does this relate to tech or IT?

This is probably good as Adobe seems to "patch" or provide "updates" to their product every 2hours or so.

I am sure the NSA already has the "backdoor" keys to access whatever data they want on the likes of Twitter, Facebook, etc.
