So as I wrote about in an earlier post, my Sony Vaio crashed last week and so I’ve been backing everything off of it using a Lacie 40 GB Mobile Harddrive. I choose the Lacie drive simply because it had the best price point, and frankly, I’m a sucker for gimmicks (he Lacie drive was … Read More
Apple paid tribute to Rosa Parks by bringing back their Think Different campaign and changing their front page to primarily display the a black and white photo of her. I didn’t even know about this until reading about it in CNet.
