Data Recycler 1.3 updates Panther

Prosoft Engineering announced on Thursday the release of an upgrade to its deleted file recovery tool Data Recycler X. Version 1.3 repairs compatibility problems with Mac OS X v10.3.3 and adds several new features, including the addition of Path and Owner columns to the file browser; a security change to the operating system's cache that renames files and keeps them in a flat hierarchy, so that "smart" installers can't find them; support for users with relocated home directories; bug fixes; and more. This is a free update for registered users while new users can download a demo from the Prosoft Web site. Data Recycler is US$49 and requires Mac OS X v10.1.5 or higher.

Portable Hard Drive

Neowin Review : Seagate 100Gb USB 2.0
Portable Hard Drive 03/14/2005 06:26 PM
Harddrives : a critical part of any personal computer. They store our personal data, files, operating systems and much more. Over the last decade, the industry has gone through some major changes both in terms of the hardware and the companies involved.

Seagate is one of an increasingly small number of harddrive vendors to stick through tough times and keep on producing good gear. Founded in 1979, the company stayed at the forefront of the industry making the first 5.25" harddrive, the first 7,200 RPM diskdrive, and the first fiber channel interface disk drive.

<strong>Today, we're looking at a portable harddrive from Seagate</strong>. It's basically a small (2.5") harddrive packed inside a strong shell with a high speed, USB 2 adaptor on rear; it's also got a bright blue LED light for good measure. Seagate offer two version of the drive; a 40gig version and a 100gig version - we looked at the 100gig version. Read on the review!

Unfortunately HTC Voyager model of Microsoft smartphone, branded among others as "Orange SPV e200", "Qtek 8080", etc - has no ability to switch on the Bluetooth only then when a call is incoming (so that you could use Bluetooth headset to take the call). You can either switch it on (and then it will stay on for ever and suck battery a lot) or you can switch it off (and then you can´t take calls with Bluetooth headset). It seems that this little utility is fixing this problem.
