For the Olympics I shoved one in an eSata enclosure for Tivo S3. Still running, its a 1TB from Thailand SD15 fw... I figure as long as it
does not get rebooted I am ok :) Besides, its just TV shows, if it craps out, do-over. I feel bad for those with work/photos etc on those discs... A 4 drive RAID with a blend is probably a safe way to go. Don't rely on one MFG, esp same datecodes/fw/plant etc

fugly. Needs to be left behind in a cab followed by a full identity theft. (hint: try tinkerbell first as the pw).

Packet8 has an iPhone web2.0 client. Works great. It makes a local call baed on your cells area code and transparently bridges over the VoIP network to a # anywhere in the world. They pop up a # keypad in Safari along with contacts, recents etc. Screw the phone co. 1 cent a minute international is more reasonable no?

@KarlW Thanks! Thats a goooood tip. I ordered one. I have a contico filled with 3.5" IDE drives.

@adam: Actually a good usecase for the Drobo is as a USB drive to a Airport Extreme. No issues then with network connectivity.
I find it to be a good fit for me in that configuration as iTunes sees it as the Library and an Airport Express in WDS mode takes care of the connection to the stereo.
It was a win-win for me as I dumped a single point failure iTunes disk, removed a bridge and was able to get TIvo to DHCP to the Airport Express with the Drobo providing storage over the air to computers in the house.

I too am glad he escaped. My prediction is he will be driving manure trucks in the future. What cash cargo dispatch wants a load of cars in the bay? Although jacknifing a manure truck in rushhour traffic would also get media attention.

what no WiFi? meh.
