Trim the fat on your Mac’s Hard Drive

I don’t know how things are with your Mac, but mine is getting a little fat around the mid-section…right where the hard drive is. While looking for what I could and couldn’t do without, I developed a few techniques that allowed me to free up several gigabytes of drive space and I present those techniques on The Lab with Leo Laporte. Now that the episode has aired, I have posted the show notes within our “As seen on The Lab with Leo Laporte” section.

I have been getting some great response from my segments on the show. If you have any ideas for segments, please feel free to contact me via the Forums, the IRC Channel or just by good ol’ email.

Apple Joins Board of Directors for Blue-ray Disc Association

The Blue-ray Disc Association has accepted Apple to its board of directors. “Apple is pleased to join the Blu-ray Disc Association board as part of our efforts to drive consumer adoption of HD,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Consumers are already creating stunning HD content with Apple’s leading video editing applications like iMovie HD and are anxiously awaiting a way to burn their own high def DVDs.”

“Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation optical disc format being developed for High Definition video and high-capacity software applications. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc will hold up to 25 gigabytes of data and a double-layer Blu-ray Disc will hold up to 50 gigabytes of data.”

Hriders.com gives unlimited free 1 Terabyte email accounts

We have been asked why we would do such a thing. The answer is simple, to help people store large amounts of information in a safe and secure environment. If you have a free membership with Hriders.com, then you will receive a free 1 Terabyte [1024 Gigabytes] 500 Megabyte attachment email account. You will be able to store over 40 million emails, videos, games, mp3s, or pictures.
We decided that Hriders.com should do something more than just provide a place to receive large quantities of emails. What we have done is provide our members with a place to store their family pictures or home videos as well as store pictures of their home or office furnishings, in case something might be lost to an unexpected event.

Homes burn, earthquakes happen, floods and un-natural events take place all the time, and all to often we hear people say, well at least I survived but I lost everything, my family pictures are gone, I did not plan on this ever happening to me so I did not take videos or pictures of my belongs for the insurance company to prove to them that I had a music collection that I have had for over 20 years, or a $10,000 home theater system or 5 computers.

We decided that yes, a Terabyte of space may sound rather extreme to some, others will not think so.

Our servers are housed in an environmentally safe solar powered site run by our friends at aiso.net

They run system checks 24 hours a day, spam checks and virus applications they ensure that our systems are always up and running to ensure our members have the best experience possible while at Hriders.com
