Seagate Replica Is Time Machine for Windows PCs
For all of Windows 7's niceties, it still doesn't have an appropriately slick built-in backup system like Time Machine. Enter Seagate Replica, which Rob at BoingBoing Gadgets says works perfectly, just like Time Machine. More » -

watch
sdrawkcaB emiT slleT hctaW icniV ad odranoeL
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's backwards writing, this gadget plays with the idea of what the Renaissance Man's watch may have looked like, if watches existed back then. The numbers on the faceplate are not just written—and listed—backwards, but the hour and minute hands move counter-clockwise as well. For $36, this watch simply tells time backwards, and will not, in fact, act as a time machine and take you back to the future. [Fashionably Geek]

Next Version of Windows Home Server May Include "Time Machine" Type of UI
Microsoft appears ready to whip the Mac faithful into a frenzy with their latest job posting for a Windows Home Server software development engineer. According to the posting, they are currently looking for someone to help deliver a "top notch UI for the next release." The posting goes on to say that a: "Time Machine compete (sp?) UI for backup and restore, Windows Media Center integration UI, Live Mesh integration UI" are the top priorities. While WHS already features backup functionality, it lacks a fancy-pants OS X Time Machine style UI—something that may be corrected in the next release if Microsoft finds the right person for the job.

Time Machine on Airport Extreme is an Unsupported Feature, Might Go Away in the Future
OS X Leopard's Time Machine works on Airport Extreme routers as of the last firmware update, but TidBITS found out directly from Apple that it's an "unsupported feature." What does this mean to you, the guy who wants to use Time Machine on the Extreme you purchased last year instead of shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a Time Capsule? It means you should upgrade to the most recent firmware now, before Apple updates again and takes out the feature. It also means that you should check the internet whenever there's a firmware update from now on to see if the feature's been removed before you update. To be completely safe, just save a copy of the most recent one somewhere. [Tidbits]

Question of the Day: Do Hourly Time Machine Backups Piss You Off?
Lately I've been getting really annoyed at Time Machine. It's running over the network to a Time Capsule, so it's basically got free rein to backup whenever it damn well pleases, or specifically once per hour, at a time of its own choosing. The result is a sudden system and network slowdown when I'm in the middle of doing stuff. Yesterday, Time Machine caused me to perform a forced reboot—in the middle of a conference call. More »

Dealzmodo: 500GB Western Digital Hard Drive for $100, a Sign of Things to Come?
Buy.com has the 500GB Western Digital Elements external hard drive for $100 shipped, marked down from $140. (Around the web, this drive sells for $115-$140.) Now that Time Machine is compatible with any hard drive networked to an Airport Extreme, some of you might be interested in picking up something. This is the best deal that we could find, but we're sure you've seen better. See any deals?? [Dealhack] -

Apple Sued for Time Machine Patent Infringement
Another day, another patent lawsuit for Apple. This time they're being sued by the firm Mirror Worlds. The patents at issue deal with a "document stream operating system," which means files are stored in a chronologically ordered stream, and whoa, are archived automatically. Sounds like Time Machine, even though the suit doesn't name Time Machine explicitly. In fact the whole suit's rather vague, except they say that Apple knew about their patents back in 2001. But like most patent suits, this one will probably go quietly into the night. [Ars, USPTO]

Apple Time Machine Now Works With AirPort Disk

Time Capsule Review: Smooth Sailing, No Surprises
We've been fiddling with Time Capsule since it arrived this AM, and so far it works as billed, clean and easy. The star of the show is really the new AirPort Utility software, which now comes with some neat tricks for the network-phobic. Most of all, we're learning the ins and outs of adding external drives, using networked printers, and setting up that potentially nasty initial data dump.

Time Capsule Hands-on
Apple's Time Capsule backup server is a great idea, and looks great as well. It's the same size as the Airport Extreme, but seems heavier. It has the exact same ports as the Airport Extreme (four Gigabit Ethernet ports, normal power ports) and has 802.11n. The top is different and has a chrome reflective Apple logo. There's not much else to say until we get our hands on it at home and test it ourselves, so check out the gallery to see how it looks. Bad news: The hard drive isn't user replaceable. A guy said he didn't think you could use it for NAS, but it connects to Finder like a normal NAS, so it probably can be used that way. More »

Apple Time Capsule Server for Wireless Time Machine Backups
At Macworld 2008, Apple just announced Time Capsule, a full Airport Extreme base station with 802.11n wireless and four Ethernet ports, plus server grade hard drives to back up all of the Leopard Macs in the house. Did we call this or what? OK, minus the leopard spots, that is. Yes, all signs suggested that something like this would happen, but little did we know it would come with such a reasonable price tag: 500GB for $300; 1TB for $500.

LG Time Machine TVs Support DivX Playback, Recording
The only thing better than watching DivX on TV with a DVD player is watching DivX on TV with a TV that supported DivX. This LG Time Machine line can both play back and record to DivX to its 80GB hard drive, and comes in 37, 42 and 47 inches. Although DivX is great for the downloading crew, it's iffy that it'll be a feature the average person can get behind unless presented in a way that shows them how many more hours they can have on their DVR in DivX format.
