Time machine for me generally "just works". Set and forget - it will do wireless backups of all my stuff to my time machine data store if it is in range (or plugged in, if i have it on an external drive). If my backup destination is not available, it will do hourly snapshots locally, and then roll them up to the backup store when it becomes available. Previous versions may have been a little flaky, but so far in Lion, it Just Works.

Windows really needs something similar to time machine. Windows backup in 7 is almost there, but it needs to be more intelligent, so you can have it automatically just work without popping up dialog boxes, etc. when the destination becomes available or if it is not available.

I don't even care about them anymore. I'm just sad that such big country and yet they are living in paranoia, investing almost nothing in infrastructure, but in same time waste their money to play hardliners and allow people to die (yeah, about Syria), and meddling with politics in their neighborhood countries. You can't get your respect in such way

Sounds pretty much exactly the same as the USA to me. Replace Syria with, oh I dunno... Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Same shit, different media spin. If you think you lot living over there in the US are currently living in a *legitimate* democracy, you're fucking kidding yourselves. Obama (new bush) = same as the old bush, pretty much. Just has charisma.

No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.
