Hey guys,
It seems like the Pogoplug has fallen out of favor with you, as far as online storage is concerned, and since mine just up and died the other day , I’m curious as to what y’all use for cloud storage, and/or what you would recommend. I could probably get away with 50GB or so and free would be great, but most importantly ease of access of the information, with streaming being a possibility. An Android app (like Pogoplugs) would be nice
As a side note, I don’t hear much about the Acer Iconia A500 tablet and I just wanted to tout it’s exceptional performance. I have Transformer and Galaxy tablets in the house (and of course the obligatory “Dumb-pad”) and it easily outperforms them all. Plus it was only $299 on sale! Just my 2 cents, Thanks for the info-tainment!

Hi guys, me again!
On holiday this week so in a chilled out mood and had time to put a question to you
Firstly, a big thanks to all you guys as you’ve helped me out again. I started by just listening to these podcasts and it’s amazing that it feels like I know you all personally now. You’ve all dug me out out the crap on various occasions and I just wish I could return the favour somehow? This time it was Dave and all I have to say is having a rummage in Daves Dropbox i felt like a kid in a sweet shop!
Having said all that, I do actually have a question. On these holidays I like to send pictures and videos during the week mainly to make my mates who are still at work jealous !!
I would love an app or service (for iOS of course!) that I could post a photo or video clip and it sent it to twitter, Facebook, Google+. blogs etc. I use pixelpipe and it comes close but only stills and not compatible with Google+.
Any ideas would be most welcome!
Gotta go, my beer has just arrived!

I’ve been listening to your show since before the “Beachbody breakup” and I always listen to your show on Wednesday nights. The reason for my email is because I am looking for advice on upgrading my MacBook Pro. I am ripping DVDs with Handbrake and am close to running out of room on my Hitachi 5400 250GB hard drive. I was looking at OWC and there are so many choices, sizes and brands I have no clue even where to begin. Also my other question is regarding upgrading my RAM. I have 4GB DDR3 1066MhZ of RAM in my Mid 2010 13″ MacBook Pro and was wondering if it makes sense to upgrade to 8GB or even more if possible.
Thanks again guys for any advice you can give and keep up the good work,
Rob “Fubaracing”
P.S. I’m glad Steve went back to the iPhone or I myself would have had to convert to Android. Thanks Steve!!

Hey guys – just an update on an e-mail I sent a few weeks back about the HTC Desire Z. Apparently in the US it was released as the T-Mobile G2 – knowing that, does anyone have any experiences of that handset, and does it change your original opinion to pick the HTC over a similar Sony Ericsson handset?
Second question, my father, who knows of computers, but isn’t terribly computer literate beyond that, is looking to get a computer so he can browse the internet. Which would you say would be the best balance between a safe option and a cheap option? An Android tablet or a netbook? I was thinking an Android tablet as it will browse the internet, and some can output in HDMI (plus you can’t do that much damage just browsing, as compared to on a PC with various hijacked/booby trapped sites) – do you guys have any tips?
Cheers

Hey guys, I just bought a new MacBook Pro and was wanting to get some advice on what are some must have apps. I only got the 13″ Core i5 model but couldn’t pass up the under $1000 price they had on it at Micro Center. You may want to pass on to your listeners that at least until March 17th they have the $1199 13″ Core i5 Macbook Pro for $999.99. And Apple stores will price match since it is from an authorized reseller. That is actually where I picked mine up at. I like the Apple store experience and living in Missouri I didn’t want a dollar of my tax money going to Kansas, and that’s where Micro Center is. Since the sale is on Micro Center’s website you may be able to get the price match at Best Buy or elsewhere. Thanks for the great podcast, keep up the good work.
