Comment on How-To: Access Your Time Capsule Over the Internet by Stefano
Hello everyone.
I am studying abroad in sd and I go back to my home country twice a year. In sd I have my Time Capsule where I back up my MacBook Pro. I do have a MacBook Air that I use to travel but sometimes I need files that are on my MacBook Pro. I am trying to set my time capsule so that I can access to my files from the internet through my MacBook Air (even if my macbook pro if off). I followed these steps but when I connect to my

I am very interested in how to scale. Can you also address scaling without VC money? I know it might sound crazy, but if you scale a business without VC for a while the valuations get much better. Every $1 million in sales creates anywhere between 2x and 20x in value.

The 7 Best Web-Based Options For Managing Your Business Documents
Files pile up. They get disorganized on your company's servers when multiple people are editing them at the same time. And it's not always easy to gain access to them from home or on the road.
Cloud-based file storage services alleviate these problems for little to no cost and offer a ton of storage.
The big names like Dropbox and Google Docs are great options, but there are a few startups like OfficeDrop and Syncplicity that have some unique features the big boys don't have.

How To Find Your Lost iPhone For Free (AAPL)
Apple snuck in a nice bonus in the iOS 4.2 update: now anyone can use the "Find My iPhone" feature without paying for a MobileMe account.
Find My iPhone, allows you to view the location of any iOS device from the iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. If you have a MobileMe account, you can also use the web-based locator.
The app lets you send a message to the device, so if anyone finds it, you can tell them how to get in touch with you.
If you suspect your phone is stolen, you can remotely wipe or lock all your data so the thief can't access your contacts, photos, or other vital information like your current Angry Birds ranking.
If you are trying to locate an iPod Touch or wifi only iPad, the device must be turned on and connected to the Internet. You also need to download the app to each iOS device you plan on tracking.

How Did You Treat Your Self-Evaluation?
I don't know anyone who enjoys writing their year-end self-evaluation, myself included. Highlighting my initiatives, successes and failures (aka, areas in need of improvement) makes me uneasy. At the last few places I worked, the form is online and there were five radio buttons ranging from Outstanding to Unsatisfactory. Below that was a text box so I could elaborate.
Filling out this form always felt like something of a gamble. My supervisor was filling out the same form when evaluating me, and if I chose Meets Expectations while he chose Above Expectations, does that mean his threshold is below mine? And who would ever rate themselves unsatisfactory? If you're self-aware enough to know you're unsatisfactory, you should have improved long before this self-evaluation. And if you believe you're unsatisfactory at, say working with others, is that acceptable to you? It doesn't make sense.
I used to agonize over these questions and forestall the torture by waiting until the last minute. Then I'd rush through the form, click submit and hope for the best.
The last straw came when my supervisor said I could be much better at documentation, which I was amazed to hear because I do a great deal of documentation. I enjoy writing and keep a log of what I've done as well as a running document for each project. I said this during the review, but it was too late: I'd had my chance to make my case on the form, and now I was on the defensive.
Today I'm more proactive. Starting with the face-to-face valuation, I write down what I was asked to improve and add it to my daily log. This may seem obvious, but often I've treated the meeting like the self-evaluation, something to hold my breath for until it's over. Now I have something to work from, and the notes keeps me focused on improvement. The first year was easy: Improve documentation.
Keeping Notes
Your log is just a date, some bullets and a basic headlines for the day. When I get a bit of praise, or complete a project, or volunteer, or whatever will look good in my review, I note it with the key word, "Evaluations." When the time comes, I search for that word, and can quickly pull up compliment. All I need to do is cut and paste it into the self-evaluation. This way I'm working backwards. The supporting text comes first and then I can click the radio button with confidence. The log works for me. If you don't use a log, just add notes to your calendar with a common search term so they're easy to find.
I calendar at the first of each month as a reminder to add some entries, just in case I've gotten lax. Even a little note goes a long way toward filling out those text boxes at the end of the year. In the end, your self-evaluation will be thoughtful and represent the work you've done.
We have a tendency to skip over the self-evaluation because our job really isn't on the line. But in today's economic climate, that may not always be true.

Qwiki Wants You To Watch Your Search Results Online, Not Read Them
Come 2015, 90% of consumer IP traffic will be rich media. Whether you like it or not, the way you consume information online will change.
Thanks to inventions like Kinect and 3D TVs, the future is all about user-interaction and consumer engagement. Qwiki is trying to bring that experience online, with clickable, computerized clips of information that you can watch instead of read.
We know the concept is difficult to grasp. That's why we had Qwiki Co-founder and CEO Doug Imbruce come in to talk to us about his company and demo a "Qwiki" video.
It's pretty crazy/awesome.

Comment on Open Thread: What's Your Backup Strategy? by phantom
I’m a fan of ZenOK Online Backup – your backups happen automatically, and you get that extra security of having an offsite copy of your data.
I've been using ZenOK, and its free antivirus too (http://onlinebackup.zenok.com/) normally I just turn my pc on and the programs runs right away.
