FEATURED SPECIAL: All Time Capsules on Sale!

For readers of Kibbles & Bytes, this week we’re offering 10% savings on both the 1TB and 2TB Time Capsule. We’re also offering free shipping on the Small Dog Refurbished 500GB base station,
which was recently reduced to just $149.99.

Time Capsule is Apple’s innovative Wi-Fi AirPort Base Station that includes a built-in hard drive. This drive allows for simple wireless file sharing at home or in an office, but it also allows for automatic wireless backup on Macs running Leopard or Snow Leopard.

Apple says that Snow Leopard makes Time Machine up to 80 percent faster and reduces the time it takes to complete your initial backup to Time Capsule. Several of the reviews I’ve read about Snow Leopard note that Time Capsule backups are speedier than they were under Leopard, but I’ve not yet seen hard numbers in this regard.

Many Small Dog Electronics employees use Time Capsule to keep their Macs backed up at home. Likewise, Small Dog has many customers who are happily (and seamlessly) using Time Capsule at home and in their businesses.

Save 10% – Apple Time Capsule 1TB Dualband (2009) – Just $269.99 (normally $299.99) plus FREE shipping!!

Save 10% – Apple Time Capsule 2TB Dualband (2009) – Just $449.99 (normally $499.99) plus FREE shipping!

Apple Time Capsule 500GB – Small Dog Refurbished, Just $149.99 plus FREE Shipping (price reductions for $249.99)!

  • _Dear Friends,_

    It is hard to believe that it is September already. There are already a few maple trees changing color as we head into the last couple official weeks of summer. This coming Labor Day weekend is truly a weekend of change. The students are all back at school, school buses are present in the morning as I make my way on the back roads to work.

    I have one of the most pleasurable commutes; many times I do not see any cars until I get to Route 100. This time of year, I take the Waitsfield Common road through the covered bridge and past the neighboring Neil farm, which is now sporting a homemade sweet corn sign.

    We will be closed on September 7th so our employees can enjoy Labor Day. The website will be up and operating and orders taken over the long weekend will ship out on Tuesday.

    The first Labor Day in the US was born out of the violent Pullman strikes in 1882. President Grover Cleveland made reconciliation with labor his top legislative priority and rushed through the national holiday. Maybe we’ll have a Health Day soon if our current President is able to get true health care reform passed.

    Many of the drive-ins close on Labor Day for the season including my favorite over in Bristol–Onion Flats. They have the best fried whole belly clams in the state and it is a perfect short motorcycle ride over the mountain. Labor Day does celebrate the productivity of our workers that have made our country strong.

    Honest Abe said it best:
    __”If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.”__
    -Abraham Lincoln

    Do you back up your work? There are so many times that customers come in for repairs where their hard drives have had a catastrophic failure and weeks and/or years of irreplaceable data has been lost. Sometimes our friends over at DriveSavers can retrieve the data, but it comes at a very high price.

    You can avoid this easily if you have a Mac running Snow Leopard. Time Machine is one of the most innovative and important pieces of Apple’s operating system. With an external hard drive or a Time Capsule, you can rest assured that your data is safe and being constantly being updated. We have some great bargains right now on external LaCie hard drives and have Time Capsules from 500GB to the new 2TB units in stock for immediate delivery!

    With the rapid conversion of photos and music and video to digital format, it is more important than ever to make sure you have a reliable and automatic backup system in place.

  • I think we’ll have to make one more pilgrimage to Onion Flats before they close this weekend, but I’ll have to sacrifice some of my allotted carbs and calories. My nurse practitioner gave me some strict orders yesterday on managing my diabetes since I was getting out of control. So, I am back to counting calories and carbs trying to get my blood sugar and my weight down.

    I found some excellent apps for the iPhone that will help. “Tap & Track Calorie, Weight & Exercise Tracker”:http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=307749752&mt=8 ($2.99) has a huge database of foods with nutritional data and “Blood Sugar”:http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=302554655&mt=8 ($.99) is a great little utility to record my sugars that can also email the data and charts and graphs.
    __Lose It! is also great app to manage food and exercise. Review in a future Kibbles & Bytes. – Editor__

    I hope the you enjoy this long holiday weekend and thank you so much for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes. I hope that you find it useful and informative!

  • Potential Security Vulnerability In Flash

    If you’ve upgraded to Snow Leopard, please note this important message from Adobe:

    bq. The initial release of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player than what is available from Adobe.com. We recommend all users update to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player (10.0.32.18) — which supports Snow Leopard and is available for download from “http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer”:http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.

    The earlier version of Flash Player included with Snow Leopard contains several security vulnerabilities. These are patched in the more “recent version of Flash Player”:http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer, released by Adobe on July 30th.

    Macworld Magazine notes that Flash Player is an attractive target for hackers, since millions upon millions of computers worldwide have it installed.

    All Mac users should make sure their version of Flash is current. This is most important for Snow Leopard users, since their version is almost certainly out of date and thus vulnerable. “Click here to download the latest Flash player.”:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
