Well, I'd wildly disagree on NFC. I use NFC frequently and frankly, it's one of the cooler phone technologies I've worked with. Using NFC tags I: set my thermostats on the way out the door with a swipe; auto-update calendar schedules, evernotes will auto-tag notes to NFC tags which for

IOS7 good: function seems to be nice, control center seems to be nice. Bad: my battery life on my Ipad4 has went to total shit. I'll have to figure that out, that's going to kill me. Dislike the folder popout; now instead of filling screen it's a smaller box that ou have to scroll to get

Increased battery drain may be because they added a feature that allows apps to update in the background (ie, the multitasking that many said they wanted).. See this for how to disable it: http://www.tuaw.com/2013/09/18/how-to-stop-ios-7-from-destroying-your-iphones-battery-life/ -

WD Red have worked fine for me. I got a set of 4 and put into a raid. Had one keep dropping out of the RAID and failing to rebuild but it turned out to be a bad SATA cable rather than the drive. On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 6:05 PM, DSinc dsinc...@epbfi.com wrote: Heck, your research is way

I had this problem. It's the Download Youtube Video's addon for me. I need to find a better addon for doing that. To get around the issue, I use 2 firefox profiles, one in normal use without the addon, one for when I want to yank a video from youtube (Then I clean up the junk after). On Thu,

Thanks Chris, I do have that extension, and I rarely use it. I have disabled it which lets me turn it on again if I need to. If that doesn't work I will remove it. m At 07:50 AM 9/20/2013, you wrote: I had this problem. It's the Download Youtube Video's addon for me. I need to find a

Why does anyone need movies on a raid? That seems like overkill to me. If one of my drives crashes, it won't be the end of the world as I have all of the backups on optical. I just keep track of what is where so I can regen one as needed. But so far, after 24/7 use of nearly two years, no

NFC can be used to simplify your life. I have a NFC tag right on my nightstand near my bed which sets my phone to silent and a whole host of other things so that it doesn't bother me at night. No need to futz around with settings. I also have a NFC Tag in the bathroom and near my door which

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that NFC is not useful...or even that it won't be one day. But, its promise is not fulfilled on a large scale yet as no one as made it indispensable to the masses. I have at least two devices that support NFC (and I bought them in part because of this

The raid is for my ease of use. I'm ok over purchasing to save time when a drive fails just rebuilding rather than restoring. It also lets me just toss stuff on one drive letter instead of 4. On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 3:58 PM, Anthony Q. Martin amar...@charter.netwrote: Why does anyone need

When my first ReadyNAS NV+ v1 had the catastrophic failure, I did have all or most of my movies on hard copies. I can say it took over 6 months to get everything back in digital format because I had to re-rip and stuff. Anything important (other than movies) is backed up to 2 different NAS
