I used to frequent the site MacPerformanceGuide.com as I found it was a quite good resource for performance tuning Macintosh computers. However some things that dude says are just purely ridiculous. Take for instance this article, where he talks about backups. Now I am all for making backups - I consider myself a bit of a paranoid obsessive person when it comes to backups. However, I do apply logic to my backup scheme.

So on to nit picking…

Use Apple’s TimeMachine for everyday protection (Macs only), but since it is attached to the computer, it is NOT a backup that protects your data from the perils of theft/fire/etc, since it too would be lost. Thus, it does not count as a real backup.

Today marks another tremendously sad day as Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs died earlier this afternoon. This news personally affected me not because I like Apple's products, but because people like Steve Jobs are almost extinct. People with brilliance to go beyond the mass and be amazing.
