I never needed a DVD burner. Until today. I decided I need to do some much needed backing up of my personal data, and realized that my user directory is 5 GB. Now, that didn't seem big to me until I realized that to back it up will take about 8 CDRs. And that's assuming I can break my data into full 650 mb portions. Phooey.

I forgot to link to this a while back, but after looking into it I'm doing so.

Ok, everyone else has been going wonky over Safari, I might as well throw out a request: I want to be able to drag a file from the Finder onto a file upload form. This is 2003, people!

This guy has some interesting commentary on Microsoft and Apple's different approaches to handling diverse media in the OS, as represented by Microsoft's Longhorn (code-name for some new version of Windows) and Apple's Mac OS X and the iApps.
