Our Favorite Summers: 1989 {Cinematical}
Jun 24th 2009 11:10PM wow, well done. Ghostbusters II was my big movie that year and I didn't care much for Batman at the time. I saw it and liked it but really didn't like it until I got it on tape and watched it so many times. IMO, that's the best one.

Mac 101: 7 tips for Data Privacy Day 2009 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 29th 2009 3:23PM I had a question on something I wanted to do. I have a bunch of files on a Western Digital External hard drive and I wanted to gradually pull them onto my laptop. It's annoying to plug in, connect, etc on my laptop so what I wanted to do was leave my Western Digital External Hard drive connected to my Mac Mini (which will always stay on - unless there's a way to do this with keeping the Mac Mini in sleep mode and waking it up somehow remotely when needed) and then just log into the machine and pull the files off the connected volume.
The thing is I would like to have the Mac Mini not have access to the this external firewire western digital hard drive that it's connected to because that's the family computer (I don't want anyone accidentally erasing anything). But by keeping this external hard drive always connected to the mac mini, I know that I have the freedom to pull the files I want whenever I feel like it.
any thoughts?

Jan 29th 2009 3:14PM Interesting - I posted that last comment and the link that was generated to my comment directly was this one:

However, the real link should be http://www.tuaw.com/2009/01/28/mac-101-7-tips-for-data-privacy-day-2009/1#c16815164
Something's wrong with the way direct links to comments are generated?

Sirius XM plans official rate hike for March 11th {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2009 11:37PM I've been paying $77 a year for XM for the past so many years. Not really planning on paying more when it's time to renew so this could be the end.
HTC not done with non-touchscreens yet, brings S743 to US market {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2009 3:36PM Add me to the people who want this for Sprint. I have Sprint as my secondary phone (main phone's an N76 w/ T-mobile) which I do more typing-intensive stuff on (documents, etc). With the Mogul (which is terrible for many reasons), having no front keypad means I have to pull they keyboard out anytime I want to do something with it. With this S743 though (or any phone really w/ a front keypad), I could still use the phone on the go with the front keypad/T9 and open it up to use the QWERTY when I'm able. Please Sprint, please.
