I just got a Time Capsule 500GB the other day. I eagerly opened the box, hooked it up to our DSL modem, ran through the setup wizard and was done in a few minutes. Everything seemed to work ok. My MacBook Pro was able to surf the net, my iPod Touch too. Aaaahhh it should have been bliss. Not…
My dad came home and he was checking out our new wireless setup. He then goes to me and says, can you turn off the broadcast? I said I could and went about doing so. I turned it off and reset …read more

There’s a discussion going on in the local Mac Users Group I belong to. Several members are discussing which is better to get, a Time Capsule or an Airport Extreme Base Station. With the current software update of the AEBS enabling it to do wireless backups when an external drive is plugged in, this is also looking to be a good solution for your wireless backup needs.

2. No clutter

That’s 5 dollars cheaper than the 500GB Time Capsule and you can even get more savings by getting a …read more

Apart from the MacBook Air the Time Capsule is another product that I’m excited to get my hands on. Since we’re a little behind in getting Apple products here in Manila, I have yet to see a Time Capsule in person. So in lieu of that, I’m settling and consoling myself first by reading Walt Mossberg’s column about Time Capsule.

One of the products announced during MacWorld got me excited. Apple announced Time Capsule a “companion product” to Leopard’s Time Machine. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme Base Station and wireless hard drive all rolled into one.
I’m really a fan of making things simple. I hate complications and that goes for everything in my life. From relationships to gadgets, the simpler the better. Time Machine and Time Capsule makes backing up as simple as possible.
I know backing up is important. All of us should do it and yet most of us don’t. Why? because it’s such a tedious …read more
