Review: Iomega 2TB Mac Companion Hard Drive | TechCrunch. This pricing is way off. For 3TB $449 is almost the same as the Time Capsule at $499. A Time Capsule offers so much than this unit. Iomega has never impressed me. I would never buy one myself. Every experience I have had with the company has been to deal with their failures.

Lion download too fat? There’s Apple store (WiFi) for that. — Apple News, Tips and Reviews

This is very surprising that Apple would suggest for those with slow home Internet connections to bring their Macs to the store to download Lion. I doubt this is going to go over well with their customers. People like things easier not more difficult.

I think that belatedly Apple will recognize that their users really want it on a DVD. Too many businesses have hundreds or thousands of Macs and they may not have bought it through channels that allow them to easily get it. Optical media are on its way out, but we aren’t at the stage yet where flash drives are cheaper than optical media. So that still means that data is cheaper distributed through optical media than over broadband links or flash like the Air software has been.
