Thank you to Chuck for the great coverage at Mac World of the Mac Roundtable. See it at the Mac Roundtable Episode #78 or at Mac Voices #1013

Surge Protectors and UPS

  • Stay away from the $5 – $10 dollar power strips. They only offer basic protection.
  • You can get better protection for $15 to $25 (or more).  These strip will have better ratings and some special features, jacks for your phone line, cable line, even Ethernet.
  • Surge Station – These large surge protectors fit under your computer or on the floor. They offer superior voltage protection and advanced line conditioning. You can get one of these units for as little $30 US, or you can spend upward of $100 for more advanced models.
    • Example: Digicom power station 2520 joule surge protector 8 outlet Black $26 at Amazon

  • Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) – Is a big battery back up -  If the power goes out, your computer will continue to run, feeding off the stored battery power. This will give you a few minutes to save your work and shut down your computer.  These units tend to cost from $30 US if you can find a deal to a few $100 dollars or more depending on the type of equipment you want to protect.
    • People think UPS’s will keep them going throughout the power outtage!
    • On consumer level UPS on average you get 7 – 8 minutes, more on larger units. Most connect to computer equip via USB and can shut down computer at a specific interval .
  • A UPS generally protects a computer against these different power problems:
    • Voltage surges and spikes – Times when the voltage on the line is greater than it should be
    • Voltage sags – Times when the voltage on the line is less than it should be
    • Total power failure – Times when a line goes down or a fuse blows somewhere on the grid or in the building
  • UPS come in all different sizes, one of the best ways to find what UPS is right for you is to use a website that offers a UPS selector.
  • One of the companies that makes UPS’s is APC (APC.com)  UPS Selector – where you input computer type, monitor, processor type, internal hd and stuff like that.  The selections you can choose from do include current mac models.  The results will give you a pretty good idea on what kind of UPS you need for your system
  • Better surge protectors and UPS may come with some sort of guarantee of their performance. If you’re shopping for more expensive units, look for a product that comes with a guarantee on your computer. If the unit fails to protect your computer from a power surge, the company will actually replace your computer. This isn’t total insurance, you can still loose your data, but it is a good indication of the manufacturer’s confidence in their product.
  • Remember no No surge protector is 100 percent effective.  

    • iPhone chargers
    A plethora of options have sprung up – perhaps there’s a big problem to be solved here? If you’re at a show or an all day event, you can’t actually USE your iPhone all day without one of these devices.  Tweeting is probably the root cause…or searching for wifi…or searching for 3G if you’re in San Francisco!

    Wireless
    Wi-Fire hfield.com extends wireless range if you have a localized outage and need to “borrow” someone else’s wifi.  Up to 1000 feet range.

    Drop in Apple quality on software

    • John’s issues with iWeb
    • Not Apple, but Flash Plugin in Safari (Unexpectedly Quit…I now expect it regularly)
    • Aperture 3 abomination
    • Allison’s issues with iTunes (spinning pizza wheel on starting videos, stuttering on videos, doesn’t remember external monitor is gone)
    • Look at all the errors and calls to debugger in the Console, I’m surprised the system doesn’t crash immediately

    Picks:

    • Bart – iPhone Game Optia at iTunes – puzzle game where you have mirrors and other optical devices to try get a laser to blow up targets. LOADS of levels and builds up very slowly so you pick up a lot skill without noticing.
    • John – Google Analytics Automator Action – echoone.com
    • Steve – Dropbox dropbox.com
    • Katie – Cnet Tech Tracker   cnet.com/techtracker/
    • Allison – Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315 with a mousepad pullout tray target.com (don’t pay over $30 for it!)

    The episode starts with a revisiting of trackballs and why they are a good thing, morphs into a discussion of who uses automation as part of their productivity environments and why (or why not), where to go to get scripts, and why you need to be alert when you do. An unexpected turn into Unix and the Terminal occurs before the stage is cleared for the big topic: Snow Leopard. The panel discusses their upgrade strategies, concerns and developer responsiveness and responsibility for having their software compatible with Apple’s new big cat. The show wraps up with the ever-popular product picks, and a little squabbling over who gets to choose one particular application.

    MICROSOFT VS. APPLE PROFIT & PC SALES DROP VS. MAC SALES DROP

    Microsoft reported its profit dropped 32%
    Apple’s profit rose 15%
    PC Sales dropped 16%
    Macintosh sales dropped 3%

    APPLE ADS:

    Discussion of which ads we like, and which ads we think are perhaps misleading

    HACKINTOSH

    I recently got to spend some time with a Dell Mini 9 Netbook with OS X installed. I was not impressed. Maybe we could talk about the whole Netbook phenomena and our thoughts about Apple’s participation. Cough Tablet Cough

    I went as far as getting an MSI Win to use as a proof of concept, installed OSX and promptly sold it 2 weeks later. So I can chime in on that!

    WHERE ARE ALL THE MAC USERS?

    Something that has been bugging me is where are all the Mac users? Last quarter 2.2 million macs sold yet MacHeist sold 88,000 bundles. A huge number but a tiny fraction of the total Mac population. Do “normal” mac users buy online software? Why are podcast audiences in the single thousands when there are millions of Mac users? Just a thought!

    Steve Stanger: The Mac Attack Twitter
    Tim Verpoorten: Mac Reviewcast Twitter

    Another small but mighty group this week. We discussed the proliferation of hard drives and why that’s not necessarily always a good thing, storage solutions and backup strategies. We also talked about how the iPhone and iPod Touch have become much more than simple phones and iPods and how a variety of applications make them excellent travel companions and perhaps even computer replacements. Of course, the discussion somehow also turned to Twitter clients and our picks.

    Storage Solutions and Backup:
    Mozy Online Backup
    Time Capsule
    Voyager Dock
    Drobo
    SuperDuper

    iPhone/iPod Touch Apps:

    The panel assembled to talk about the new Mac hardware offerings, what they have and what they lust after and ways to save money and get more value for your Mac purchase dollar in these trying economic times. Two panel members expressed their “displeasure” over recent Windows encounters, then squared off on a Mac product that one loves and the other…doesn’t. The group finished up by sharing their own particular brands of Mac therapy.

    iMac vs. Mac Pro
    is the Mac Pro worth $1000US more than the iMac? and with the iMac you get a 24″ monitor too!

    MobileMe replacements
    iDisk – implemented large file sharing option just now apple.com/mobileme, can password protect and set expiration date
    Dropbox for 2GB is free from getdropbox.com, back up REAL folders, not one blob like iDisk or 50GB for $99, must be careful in transferring packages in Dropbox
    Google sync – can sync Google contacts and addresses to your iPhone – erases your data but it’s beta!
    Foxmarks to sync bookmarks across Windows/Mac and Firefox/IE/Safari – foxmarks.com

    Microsoft Stores – why?
    Can they help build brand loyalty by working with customers?
    Could they educate more? teach tools? one on one services?
    Maybe they could show off hardware – like the Zune and XBox 360?
    Macworld mocks the Microsoft Stores macworld.com
    Sony mocked by the Onion theonion.com

    IBM on Apple security
    macnn.com
    IBM did the story, and they have a horse in the race
    the article talks about percentage of vulnerabilities fixed, not about the severity or how many.
    Premise is true however, that Apple has a poor record of patching!

    Don – NSConference in the UK (AKA Mac Dev Conference) nsconference.com
