Bit of everything, part 16

Greetings. After a short break, I continue to share their thoughts with the readers MacRadar.

From communicating with tech support 1password it revealed that they decided to reinvent the wheel and not juzat sparkle to update. Result? The next time the program doobnovlyalas to the point that it had to re-install. In a support, however, I was assured that it is a temporary problem and the bike de mend. Nu-nu ...

The site Movist found a script for Sofa Control. Glad to madness, for watching movies, sitting with his wife on the couch is much more pleasant than to approach each time for pressing the pause or subtraction-addition of sound.

Once again, faced with the lack of a sane OS X software for working with music tags. Well, I've got a couple of months ago Ripani CDs with titles such as track 1, track 2, etc., and the discs themselves have long lie in the "archive", read the pantry and look for their desire is not well, no. In Windows rescued terrible to look at, but good inside Foobar. There is also virtually empty. According to the results of the initial examination I report: iEatBrainz - trash, never in any of the samples failed to find anything. AutoTagX consistently crashes when trying to make it work. Jaikoz - animated nightmare interface designer. About Music IP Mixer will not even talk. Sadly it all. It seems to have the same work with Foobar through Dev. Entertainment is not for the faint of heart, yes, and really no alternative.

The link mate Gruber managed to find an interesting piece of metal, drobo. While living could not see to judge about something difficult, but in absentia such impressions. Good: There are more than handy analog of a raid, the ability to store up to 4 drives format 3.5 in one case, a lot of interfaces, nice design. The bad: the price, even in the states of bites. 500 bucks for an empty box 900 for 2TB version and 1300 for chetyrehterabaytnik is somewhat off-budget. Knowing the tendency to increase the price of such things when crossing the Russian border can be easily noted that the toy is worth very expensive. At the same time remain unclear, some other moments. For example, the actual reliability of a piece of iron. As is known, the raid itself is not a fact that will save you from losing data: there is a good chance to kill the whole array. It is also concerned about the noise. 4 format disk 3.5 inches noise itself is very mighty well, and will be heated with a bang, ie it will not be passively cooled. My guess is partially confirmed by the comments of the previous generation of the glands, as well as videos on YouTube that demonstrate the "voice" of the device. However, in version 2 reviews the authors noted noise reduction. I requested details from support companies, but so far all muffled.
