We look at partner programs from 10 cloud vendors that will arm partners with the tools, support and revenue to be successful in cloud computing.
Apple doesn't often buy companies, and it's almost always tight lipped about how they'll fit into its strategy.
FileMaker Pro 11 has arrived, and we had a chance to try out some of the new features.
Time Capsule is a wireless storage device that sits on a Wi-Fi network and takes advantage of the Time Machine backup feature in Apple's OS X software. The new device, which first appeared on the company's Web site this week, ups the available storage from 1 TB to 2 TB and will start at $499.
Meanwhile, the 1-TB version of Time Capsule has dropped in price from $499 to $299. There is no mention of the 500-GB version on Apple's Web site.
The device works simultaneously on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, letting any device on the network communicate with Time Capsule on its most efficient band. Additionally, the Apple backup device uses 801.11n technology.
The Apple Time Capsule also allows users to set up a guest network that will allow friends to use the connectivity without having access to private parts of the network. A separate, guest password can be set up and configured, making it easier to get online without necessarily having access to any peripherals.
The introduction of the new 2-TB Time Capsule hardware is a nice surprise from Apple. What may be even more interesting, however, is that the Cupertino Crew dropped the price of the 1-TB version of the device by $200.
Apple also lowered the price of its MacBook Pro at the company's World Wide Developer's Conference last month, marking something of a shift in its standard practices. Generally, Apple puts out a product and expects customers to pay a premium for the hardware -- something consumers generally do. The drop in price on the 1-TB Apple Time Capsule marks the second significant price drop in a month.
