Yes any application can use it. I currently use it as a requirement to log into my server via SSH.

> Time now for some damage evaluation. I immediately saw that all contacts had been deleted (annoying but not too bad)

There's pretty much a one-click restore process now: http://i.imgur.com/1EYZ5.png

It asks on every login or you can opt to not require the second factor for 30 days on that machine via a checkbox when entering the other factor. You can also print out a list of 10 one-time use codes to log into your account if you don't have your phone handy.

Nope, then you go to recently closed tabs and you'll see a folder that says "6 Tabs" or whatever and clicking it will restore the window.

If you care to try, I'd say give Softlayer a shot. You get tons of free stuff that other places charge for (KVM over IP, VPN, etc) and the only outage I've had so far was because Level 3 announced routes for Comcast IP's and then null routed them, lasted about 45 minutes and effected a lot more than Softlayer.

Honestly, the only legit reason for an outage is some natural disaster took down the entire building. I really wouldn't want my server hosted at a mice infested building anyway, or one without backup power, cheap A/C units, etc. To me, it looks much worse that your server went offline because the FBI busted into the datacenter and knocked shit around than say an earthquake took out our fiber lines.

Personally, if I heard the FBI raided a datacenter and knocked a bunch of servers offline which had nothing to do with what they were after, then I'd seriously question the security, legal team, and response team of that place. To me, it sounds like the FBI just showed up to one guy sitting in a chair watching TV and let the FBI roam free.

The problem with that is once someone DOES get your 1Password database, they can crack it at their leisure. Now sure the encryption is strong, and sure it will take a long, long time, but once the attacker has your 1Password database they only have to keylog your master password once and you're SOL. If you keylog my LastPass account you still need my grid (soon to be SMS 2 factor auth when LastPass implements it).

Or the FBI could just go through the proper channels like everyone else and contact the datacenter and request it's immediate takedown (after providing a warrant, of course). This isn't the first time the FBI busted into a data center all willy-nilly knocking innocent peoples hardware offline. Not only does this adversely effect the innocent users, it also almost destroys the datacenters reputation and it's a loss for nearly every party.

Even easier, you use Softlayer and use their global load balancer.

There's no "hack" to get pinned tabs to re-open in Chrome, they just do.

That sounds like 2Passwords to me.

Yep that's how I do it. I just have /home mounted on another drive in my linux environment and under Windows I changed the location of my My Documents, My Music, Downloads, etc folders to a traditional drive. You could move your entire user profile over, but some apps do a lot of IO in your AppData folder so you may want to keep that on SSD.

Because if you have a smartphone that you use to access your email then you'll be getting notifications non stop. That is, unless you want to whitelist every single IP address your carrier would use.

I think what he's saying is if Google leaves cookies on your computer that contain your userid, but you're not logged in (similar to trying to access Google Apps Administration or your own Google user account settings where it always prompts for a password) then it will prompt you to fully log in.

I just opened the url in incognito to see and it loaded fine. No where did it ask me to log in.

They could have just allowed any app to integrate with the OS. That's why I loved my BlackBerry, any app could add a handler to the OS's context menu for a given item.

I'd REALLY like to know what possessed Apple to go with Twitter and not Facebook. When I want to share a picture, I want to share it through Facebook, NOT Twitter.

Perhaps the Chinese government would like to explain why 99.9% of SSH attacks on my server (which has password auth disabled) come from China.

Ah, I didn't realize Set was part of the font name. My mistake. Still seems a bit ridiculous though.

Chrome, block all plug-ins by default. You'll never see a flash ad again, but instead a big gray box in it's place. Should you need to activate flash to watch a video on a web page then you can just click the gray box and it will load the plug-in. Works great for me.

More importantly, since when does Apple have governing authority over the use of Myriad type font?

> You may NOT use the Myriad Set font on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, or promotional/advertising materials.

What did they patent the use of a font in a specific way or something?

How about not making it so closed and limited? The Kindle app lets me read my books on my PC, my Mac, my BlackBerry, iPad, iPod Touch, Kindle, and the list goes on.

Buy a book on the App Store and you're confined to ONLY iOS devices.

I never even heard of Backblaze until now. I used to be a Mozy user until they went ahead and pulled the "Yeah remember how we said unlimited? lol jk." card. Downloaded Backblaze now to give it a try, so far it looks like an amazing deal!

Another thing to consider is that Carbonite throttles the hell out of your connection so that you're only able to upload at the following speeds:

* The first 35GB of data can achieve upload speeds of up to 2 mbps (megabits per second).

* Between 35GB - 200GB of data can have the upload speeds reach up to 512 kbps (kilobits per second).

* 200GB or more of data can be uploaded at up to 100 kbps (kilobits per second).

So if you use Carbonite to backup over 200GB of data, and let's say your computer is on for 6 hours a day, you can only backup 270MB a day which is useless (or 1.08GB if you run your computer 24 hours a day). I did the math and it would take 1 year 7 months for me to backup the 800GB of data I wanted to with Carbonite.

It's also not fair to compare Carbonite to Dropbox. Comparing Carbonite to Mozy would be a more leveled playing field.

Was it your first purchase? My first Album purchase had a $2.99 promotion discount or something.

I starting using Dropbox while in college so I could sync all my school work with great ease. Now I have 82.25GB of space (72.9% used) and I mainly use it to backup my iTunes library, pictures, and projects. While rsync would work as an alternative, I just go with Dropbox because it's dead simple to use.

I'm not too sure, this is the line that really stood out to me:

> and delivery of applications (or “Apps”)

Basically making a direct relationship between the word application and apps. Either way, I think the whole App Store argument is ridiculous.

And there goes Apple using the word App/Apps generically again. Not exactly helping their case against Amazon.

Grooveshark. No ads, unlimited skips, listen to any song you want.

I used to use Jungle Disk until I found out they still bill you for bandwidth costs even if you use your own S3 bucket so you effectively having to pay double for bandwidth costs.
