    Storage Solutions Storing digital pics, what are the reliable options ?

    Nice. I use Box for photos as well thanks to their initial 50GB sweet deal. I also backup stuff to S3 (Amazon) but I think their are cheaper alternatives. I use Dropbox for work files (10GB)

All solutions for this are available (open source). In my experience, I've had a 20% success rate. Low cause of the time...

    Laptops Some Transcend vs Corsair drama while upgrading my mid-2009 MBP15

    I was going to buy that online. Transcend says that their modules clock down properly. It's odd that this happened. Ignorance or marketing :) I'm happy with my upgrade though.
