Hi Andrew
I had exactly the same e-mail. I haven't tried the website, but share your
concerns completely. Could anyone else who is more in the know than me please
confirm if this was legit or not?? As with Andrew, I too am worried that I may
have revealed my address to a hacker.
Thanks.

There is all sorts of hacking going on. But it makes absolutely no
sense at all to go onto a strange web site and ewpose oneself to further
hacking. Common sense dictates that one can simply change passwords by
logging into legitimate web sites, in this case the Gmall site.

Hello,
Go to System Preferences and once in there, go to Bluetooth. Once there, find
the table listing your bluetooth devices. Then, find your keyboard in the list,
and press VO Shift M. Then, go down until you see the Rename option and press
return. This will allow you to rename it.
Hope this

I'm a huge fan of offsite backups; if that Time Capsule goes down, or if some
disaster happens, a cloud-based backup would be completely unaffected. Yes,
there are many things to consider, and if Dropbox or iCloud isn't your thing,
perhaps Carbonite or Crashplan could work for you? They both

Its not that I am concerned about security so much as I am of losing

I had always wondered how reasonable it would be to do some kind of
backup co-op. For example, if I could figure out how to share a drive on
the internet for somebody else and they did the same for me, I could
backup my stuff to their drive and vice versa. As a co-op neither of us
would pay
You just described a free feature offered by Crashplan. You can back files up
to a friend's computer, and/or they to yours, and it's free. Crashplan also
offers free backups to local drives, but honestly that sounds like Time Machine
so would only help Windows users I imagine.

No, Time Machine does not compress, so you can browse right to a file and grab
it if you need to. It uses sim links and other tricks to minimize the size of
backups, but no compression. Automator is not a data app, it is used to
