loads in less than a second for me (70mb fibre though) Responsive design doesn't work at all in firefox...fine in chrome I personally find the portfolio lightbox style very dated and annoying when the 'next' arrows are in a different place after each click Other than that all seems nice enough

Been looking at this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-58mm-Circular-Polarizing-Filter/dp/B00006H2EY/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357644329&sr=1-4 vs this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-Digital-Circular-Polarizing-Filter/dp/B000KL7J3A/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1357644430&sr=1-2 :( ??

I would probably prefer the screw-in just for neatness. Any recommendations or comments regarding cheap vs expensive?

I have a canon ef 50mm 1.8 and a ef 28mm 1.8 I was looking into getting a polarising filter and a graduated filter - mostly for the 28mm but it would be nice to have ones for both. So.... is it possible somehow to use the same filter on both lenses (I think the 50 is 52mm and the 28 is 58mm)...

^ Aye. But if you want multiple versions of anything else I would assume most people would do what I do e.g. draft1.psd, draft2.psd etc... on my main drive and this is of course cloned along with everything else.

RDR is great! Even if you get sick of the task at hand you can always hog tie one of the locals and drop them off on a train track then sit back and watch.

because there are multiple copies of the files on the source drive anyway. Its the way versions works on lion.

I added an ssd in my mac pro and moved the main hdd to bay 2. I am not sure about keeping both in the imac, but you probably can (I'm sure I read it somewhere). To cut down on lots of manual moving files and too many read/writes to the ssd I sym linked my documents, downloads & itunes folders...

if you are on lion or mountain lion then there are already multiple versions. If you are backing up an exact clone, you can have your drive die completely, then boot from your backup drive and all your version history is still there for you to sift through if you must. I see absolutely no point...

I just don't get the point in the fire. The whole point in a kindle for me is the easy-on-the-eye eink and the fact the battery just lasts bloody ages! As soon as you go into a backlit tablet it just seems pointless and you may as well just get any tablet with a ereader app.

The os backup is probably the smallest part of your backup. Basically, if you have a 1tb drive, get a 1tb backup drive and that will do you as the backup will be the same size as the original.

messages in what program?

easiest way might be to use something like http://camstudio.org/ to record the screen and save as avi

I don't think there is anything really wrong with apple maps now, they just don't seem to have as many business locations - i.e. if you search for a pub or garage you don't get as many results as google maps. If you have the postcode though (which I normally do) life is no worse than it used to...

I agree with carbon copy cloner. It is so much better than time machine. I have actually used it for backing up my main drive with os and one day removed my drive then booted up straight away from the backup drive and continued working as if nothing had ever happened. Time machine just seems to...
