question of the day
Lately I've been getting really annoyed at Time Machine. It's running over the network to a Time Capsule, so it's basically got free rein to backup whenever it damn well pleases, or specifically once per hour, at a time of its own choosing. The result is a sudden system and network slowdown when I'm in the middle of doing stuff. Yesterday, Time Machine caused me to perform a forced reboot—in the middle of a conference call.

Question of the Day: Do Hourly Time Machine Backups Piss You Off?

antenna
Apple's Time Capsule works fine as a wireless base station/router, since it is just an Airport Extreme with a hard drive thrown in, but what if you could make it even better? You know, with a MIMO TriBand antenna in order to reach every bathroom of your house. QuickerTek's TriBand antenna is just that, which allows you to pay $129 for a self-installation kit, $200 for an installation service, or $500 for a pre-installed version (slightly higher prices for the 1TB model). The cost is a bit steep, but since the Time Capsule doesn't come with an external antenna that you can easily swap out for a better one, this seems like your best option. [QuickerTek]

Time Capsule Gets Obligatory Strip Down
Well, that didn't take to long; aptly named Flickr user, nakedmac has taken the plastic white goodness from off of his Time Capsule, so we can all have a look under its panties. Things we have learnt; 1). There is a fan to get Time Capsule's cool on. 2). Nakedmac was one of those kids that destroyed his toys two minutes after getting them. Nakedmac, this is exactly why you're not allowed nice things. Tsk. Checkout the gallery by hitting the link, and be sure to drop anything we have missed in the comments after the jump.

We've been fiddling with Time Capsule since it arrived this AM, and so far it works as billed, clean and easy. The star of the show is really the new AirPort Utility software, which now comes with some neat tricks for the network-phobic. Most of all, we're learning the ins and outs of adding external drives, using networked printers, and setting up that potentially nasty initial data dump.

Time Capsule Hands-on
Apple's Time Capsule backup server is a great idea, and looks great as well. It's the same size as the Airport Extreme, but seems heavier. It has the exact same ports as the Airport Extreme (four Gigabit Ethernet ports, normal power ports) and has 802.11n. The top is different and has a chrome reflective Apple logo. There's not much else to say until we get our hands on it at home and test it ourselves, so check out the gallery to see how it looks. Bad news: The hard drive isn't user replaceable. A guy said he didn't think you could use it for NAS, but it connects to Finder like a normal NAS, so it probably can be used that way.

At Macworld 2008, Apple just announced Time Capsule, a full Airport Extreme base station with 802.11n wireless and four Ethernet ports, plus server grade hard drives to back up all of the Leopard Macs in the house. Did we call this or what? OK, minus the leopard spots, that is. Yes, all signs suggested that something like this would happen, but little did we know it would come with such a reasonable price tag: 500GB for $300; 1TB for $500.
