FPC-Virtual Mac FPC-Virtual Google+ Platform Blog Reviews I’ll admit, I’ve never felt the need to purchase network-attached-storage (NAS) hardware for storing and accessing my media or backing up my files. These days most of my content, from photos and movies to back ups of important files for work, are already stored in the cloud. My photos are (supposed to) auto backup to Photostream in iCloud, iTunes has all of my music downloadable from all my devices from the cloud, and any important files and everything else go directly to Dropbox or Google Drive. Around 90% of my content is already stored and accessible from anywhere in the cloud. That being said, for the last year or so I’ve been hearing more and more about Synology DiskStation products. I’ve been putting the Synology DiskStation hardware and brand new DiskStation Manager 5.0 software to the test in recent months to see if I could really benefit from a NAS solution despite all my content already being on the cloud and backed up.

Apple Inc Apple executives have reached out to employees today in a company wide email urging them to review Apple’s Business Conduct Policy, a document describing how employees should conduct themselves in and outside the company while representing Apple. An email from Apple’s SVP and General Counsel Bruce Sewell (below) was accompanied by a new version of the policy available to employees in iBooks format and a video from CEO Tim Cook discussing the policy. It’s unclear if there was a situation at Apple that could have prompted the email and video from Apple executives to employees. Apple notes that the policy “explains in very clear terms how you are expected to conduct yourself with our customers, business partners, government agencies, and fellow employees.” The document also covers legal principles “like antitrust and anti-corruption laws” that all employees are expected to follow. {*style:<i>*}As Dr.

The Impact of the iPod "With iPod, Apple has invented a whole new category of digital music player that lets you put your entire music collection in your pocket and listen to it wherever you go," said Steve Jobs as the first iPod launched in 2001. "With iPod, listening to music will never be the same again." Thanks to the iPod's far-reaching impact over the last decade, you could argue that the consumer electronics industry has never been the same again. On the tenth anniversary of the iPod's debut we take a look at just how influential Apple's portable digital music player has been. 1. "The iPod truly ushered in the era of portable digital consumer electronics, much as the Walkman did for analog audio," states Jordan Selburn, principal analyst of consumer electronics at IHS-iSuppli. In just 10 years the iPod has been so influential that the word has come to represent a portable digital music player in the same way "Hoover" dominates the vacuum cleaner market. 2. The iPod's design is iconic. 3. 4. 5.

Angry Birds and iPads to Fly into Space After taking over the world - in the form of an extremely popular multi-platform game, followed by toys and accessories, even baby clothes - Angry Birds will venture where no dissatisfied feathered creature has gone before: into space. An Angry Birds plush toy, as well as two Apple iPads, will be sent to the International Space Station with two upcoming Russian space launches. The iPads will be sent with the next unmanned resupply flight later this month. The toy doll of the red bird from the popular game will be sent with three crew members, which are due to fly to the ISS next month. The cosmonauts will use the iPads for entertainment purposes, but the plush toy will actually have a mission - it will signal the escape from the clutches of Earth's gravity field when it starts to float.
