The tool that I like to use for Gmail backups is a Python script called BaGoMa: http://sourceforge.net/p/bagoma/home/BaGoMa/

I've seen some speculation that Gmail slows down because your account is assigned to a server with other older accounts which are also growing and straining server capacity. Is it possible that the speed increase comes from being assigned t

I like the idea, but it isn't clear to me what motivates the users to participate. Can the developer offer some sort of financial incentive to the users?

This is an area where a disruptive technology is due. Imagine if even 10% of bikes had technology that wirelessly sends out GPS coordinates or can identify the owner via an embedded RFID tag. Suddenly stealing bikes is not nearly as risk fr

You're right. I was looking at the diagram. Clearly the author accidentally swapped the two names in that sentence.

He is saying the opposite. The downtown train arrives on the hour and the uptown train arrives at 5 minutes after the hour.

I read somewhere that JCPenney is shifting to a strategy like this for clothing brands. The stores will start to shift to a cluster of mini-showrooms that each showcase a different brand. My first thought when I heard this is that the brand

I was under the impression that TicketsNow had very little market share. Aren't (EBay owned) StubHub, EBay and Craigslist the major players in the secondary market (excluding scalpers at the event)? I have college basketball season tickets

I bought an original Tivo with lifetime service in 1999 and I still use the subscription today. 6 or 7 years ago they offered a promotion that allowed you to transfer your lifetime service to a new HD unit and that device is still running.

People do get very jealous even if it doesn't affect them. I automated something similar in one of my grad school courses (image processing). Each assignment required a report to be generated in a particular format that showed all of the

It's a neat story, but I am suspicious too. The photo in the Springfield Gazette is a mirror image of this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Abelincoln1846.jpeg . Wikipedia claims this photo is from 1846, but the newspaper is from

Google has $44.6 billion in cash and short term investments at their disposal. Dropbox was recently valued at $4 billion. If Google could spend hundred of millions (or even a few billion) offering tons of storage space, you would have to t

That has to be a mistake. You already can upload more than 7 GB using Google Docs. It would be more in line with Google to offer 100 GB or 1 TB free and really blow away the competition. I wonder if they have considered what it would cost

For Windows, Duplicati is a good option: http://code.google.com/p/duplicati/ For Linux, try Duplicity (which I mentioned in another comment): http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ Both are open source and have similar features to Arq (including

This is a neat project (with good documentation!). I really like PhantomJS, and it's great for pulling data off of a single page but sometimes it can be a pain to use it to run a series of steps in sequence. I was thinking about trying to

There was a lot of hand waving in that article to arrive at that conclusion. The "80/20 rule" is a good estimate for some situations, but it may not apply in this case. For example, Netflix probably doesn't follow the 80/20 rule since mos

Best Buy was my favorite store when I was a kid. Now it's too much of a chore to shop there. Even if you buy something small, you get hit up with offers for credit cards and magazine subscriptions. They play games where they tack on Geek

Google's pricing is pretty close to Amazon's for low-end users, but high-end users will still find S3 to be much cheaper. I was hoping Google would be the competitor that would pressure Amazon to reduce the cost of S3. S3's prices have be
