Back to my Mac

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

My brand new MacBook Pro was stolen several weeks back. The thief was caught on camera but we have yet to nab him.

My brother sent me an interesting article: Stolen Laptop Helps Turn Tables on Suspects.

One of the laptops was a Macintosh belonging to Kait Duplaga, who works at the Apple store in the Westchester mall and thus knows how to use all its bells and whistles. While the police were coming up dry, Ms. Duplaga exploited the latest software applications installed on her laptop to track down the culprits and even get their photographs.

The Back to My Mac feature, which runs on Leopard-based Macintoshes, requires a $99 subscription to the .Mac online service.

I’ve asked my employer to pay for this service for my new MacBook. To which they’ve replied, “Take your damn laptop with you every night. Kbye.”

Hulu.com

I’ve been beta testing this site and I am impressed with the overall user experience. It has some really cool features and the design is minimal and clean.

Hulu’s greatest weakness: Hulu is NOT a repository of user generated content like YouTube or a download service like iTunes Store. All of the video on Hulu is premium content and users don’t have access to any uploading capabilities. Hulu will keep distributing TV shows until five weeks of newer episodes have passed, at which point older shows will presumably just disappear from the site.

Sorry. Five weeks is not a lot of time …
