   Review - DSynchronize

   Have been using it for 6 months for my backups, copying 5 gigs of info, and couldn't be happier. Portable, stable, effective, and fast.
   
   Would like to see FTP support in future versions but absolutely no complaints.

2. Comment - Where does John McCain stand on technology issues?

   2.30 (Sep 4, 2008 - 8:30 PM)

   McCain has been chair of the Senate committees on commerce, science, and transportation, but his positions on net neutrality and broadband penetration are troubling. In terms of broadband, the US #22 in the world. 8 years ago we were #4 and John McCain is partly responsible for this. For Net Neutrality, he wants market forces to determine this, not government intervention. The article discusses McCain's views on telecom mergers, but as the number of companies providing broadband sources decrease, competition decreases, further hurting America's ability to compete globally.

3. Comment - Details emerge on Psystar suit, Apple wants recall

This is one of the strengths of open source software now: by making it very easy to get on board, they very often set the standard. Apache, MySQL, PHP and other technologies have become the standard without any corporate backing.
   
   Apple made moves towards this when they adopted Darwin, an open operating system based on FreeBSD. With their hardware agreements, they are slowly closing up more and more and becoming a niche market company that depends entirely on Microsoft's failures.
   
   You never know -- Apple may be hurting itself by not allowing competing hardware.
