The Time Machine Works! — Check out this post from blog.payne.org: > Well, I can report that Time Machine (the new back-up & restore utility for Mac OS X) works. My 364 day old MacBook suffered a complete hard drive failure, only TWO hours after completing my first full backup.

ID TheftSmart – The name sounds like they are a smart way to commit identity theft, but I suppose this is not what they mean. Lifelock – Their tag line is “Guarantee your good name” and one of their gimmicks is that the CEO has published his SSN for all the world to see which is fairly daring and clever.
