Backing up data -- from multiple computers, no less -- to a device that is not itself redundant or fault-tolerant in any way, is asking for trouble. A single hard drive failure now means that all archived data from all your household's machines i…

I'm of slightly-mixed mind about this, but in general I wouldn't mind seeing a small "auxiliary display" on PBs. This concept was demonstrated for PC/Windows notebooks at the last WinHEC conference, and you can see examples here: http://www.winsu…

I don't have any available OS X machines to test this on, so I'm curious how this works. [*]What if there's no logged-in session on the OS X box? Will the app silently fail, fail with some nasty message, or start but be running in some "unavailab…
