<description><![CDATA[Mirco Wilhelm, the poor guy whose Flickr account was mistakenly wiped out, along with the 4,000 photos, comments, and working hyperlinks in it, could have saved himself some amount of heartache had he signed up for Backupify, a handy utility that backs up social and cloud-based services to ensure against just this type of thing. Backupify is much more than backup, though--more on that in a second.  Wilhelm got lucky. A day after the error at the Yahoo photo-sharing site that led to the deletion of his account, Flickr figured out how to restore his data. The story ended happily, and has the advantage of serving as a reminder to all of us that the &quot;cloud&quot; can leak. Our data on a Google, Yahoo, or other online services might be safer than it is on a hard drive in our home, but it's not absolutely safe. It pays to keep backups, and that's just what Backupify does. The Wilhelm incident was also served as priceless advertising for Backupify. Backupify supports several social and cloud-based services. LinkedIn support will be announced next week.(Credit:Screenshot by Rafe Needleman/CNET) Most cloud data problems are user error, Backupify CEO Rob May tells me. With his service, you can undo your own errors. Or, as in the Wilhelm case, your provider's. Services supported include Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Google Docs, and several others. Support for LinkedIn will be announced next week.  Backupify is easy to use: Point it at your online accounts, authorize it to access them, and then periodically, Backupify goes in, slurps your data out, and stores it on its own cloud servers. Yes, it backs up the cloud into another cloud. The option to back up to your own hardware is coming later, possibly via Dropbox sync, which would be pretty cool.  Restoring deleted data, though, is another kettle of fish. For some services, like Google Docs, it's easy to pump Backupify archives back into the service, either to un-delete an erroneously erased file, or to transfer information in bulk from one account to another. But in other cases, restore doesn't work quite so cleanly. You cannot restore a Twitter account, for example, since the Twitter API doesn't provide a way to push a status update into the Twitter system with anything but the current date and time. A restored Twitter account would have all your tweets looking like they were posted milliseconds apart. But you do get a usable, potentially searchable archive of your Twitter activity, which you will eventually be able to scan with other apps. Currently, you can ask the service to send you a PDF of everything that Backupify can grab. Beyond backupIt is the searchability of the Backupify service, and its capability to put multiple cloud and social databases together in one place for users, that the company is pegging its future on.  In the business world, Backupify can be used for legal compliance, as an archiving service for companies that need to keep records of what employees do during work time or on company-sponsored accounts. Likewise, Backupify can be used in discovery' it's easier (and more complete) to search through Backupify archives than to try to coordinate research into several different services, some of which may not keep perpetual, easily searchable archives. (I'm looking at you, Twitter.) The service archives all your Twitter activity, and can send you a PDF &amp;34'book&amp;34' of it on request.(Credit:Screenshot by Rafe Needleman/CNET) But more interesting is the potential to use Backupify in daily production, as way to see, perhaps, all the interactions you've had with a person on all of the social networks and cloud storage systems you've used. Xobni, which scans Facebook, LinkedIn, and other services whenever you open an e-mail from a person, does a limited version of this. This search and analytics capability can keep Backupify relevant even if, as Facebook has done, the social services add their own backup or export features.  In other words, Backupify could give users a much deeper and useful view into their &quot;social graph&quot; than any one service can provide. Backupify may do that itself, or, when it eventually launches its own API, other companies could draw out the utility meaning from its data stores.  Backupify is poorly named. Nobody gets excited about backup. But the capability to mine your own network of people and ideas, or to use that kind of information for sales or marketing -- that's a service with day-to-day value. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Intel has already shared a few details about its plans for 2011, but will likely get into a lot more detail tomorrow during its CES 2011 press conference. And this will be the place to be, starting at 10 a.m. PT, live from the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, where several tech companies are holding press events Wednesday. Sign up below for an e-mail reminder from the good folks at Cover It Live, and be sure to check out all of our live coverage from CES this week. Intel already spilled the beans on its Sandy Bridge launch, and systems featuring the new combination processor/graphics chip will likely appear during the press conference. Intel is also a major partner in Google TV, and might have a few more things to say about its strategy for that product as well.Intel CES 2011 press conference live blog<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At its press conference at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche unveiled its Cayman R, and showed a video celebrating 60 years of its cars in America.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)LOS ANGELES--With electric vehicles being one of the main story lines at the LA Auto Show here this week, some other news may have gotten lost in the shuffle. But if you were at the Porsche press conference, where the German automaker unveiled its Cayman R, its presentation of a video celebrating 60 years of itscars in America was worth watching (see video below).Accompanied by models dressed in the garb of each decade that Porsche has been selling cars in the United States, the presentation was clearly a trip down memory lane for many in the audience. But it was also nostalgic even for those who hadn't been driving--or dreaming about driving--Porsches all those years.Next up for Porsche may well be a hybrid version of its new Panamera four-door car. And with its sales recovered from a recession-driven rough patch, it seems the company may well be on to its next 60 years here.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A technology developed by Intel and backed by Apple is expected to appear earlier than previously thought, paving the way for very-high-speed connections on both PCs and Macs. Intel demonstrating Light Peak back in 2009.(Credit:Intel)Light Peak is now on track to appear in products in the first half of 2011--and likely earlier in the year than later, according to an industry source familiar with the progress of the technology. Light Peak is significantly faster than even USB 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously. In this respect, Light Peak eclipses USB 3.0, which is not supported by Apple and is only supported sporadically by PC makers on certain models. The reason Intel has yet to support USB 3.0 in the chipsets that accompany its processors. But Apple is expected to back Light Peak, if past comments from Intel still hold. Shortly after its annual developer conference in 2009, Intel said that it had showed the technology to third parties, got feedback, then incorporated the feedback into the next design, adding, at that time, that &quot;Apple is an innovating force in the industry.&quot; (Apple has reportedly claimed that it conceived the idea for Light Peak.)If Apple implements Light Peak, it would be a safe bet that the company will have a lot to say about the technology--maybe with a catchy name in tow. And it would probably not be wild speculation to say that Apple would want to be the first to use it. An Intel demonstration in 2009 at its developer conference used a machine running Apple'sMac OS X.  And Sony has, in the past, endorsed Light Peak also. Apple did not respond to questions. Whither USB 3.0Though USB 3.0 has arrived, it hasn't arrived on Apple's MacBooks nor on most PCs. The current USB 2.0 standard, which is found on virtually all laptops today, has been around a long time--indeed, too long for some consumers' tastes. Intel laid the groundwork for widespread use of USB 2.0 on PCs and devices in spring 2002 when it put the technology in its chipsets. And there's the rub. USB 2.0 is universal, USB 3.0--because it's not supported in Intel chipsets--is not, despite being up to 10 times faster.And there are other reasons cited for the lack of a dire need for USB 3.0. Peripheral devices, like printers, don't benefit from moving to 3.0. And a number of laptops already ship with the faster eSATA standard or FireWire (in the case of the MacBook), which Intel supports in its mobile chipsets.What's Intel's stance on USB 3.0 &quot;We are absolutely committed to USB 3.0 and beyond that,&quot; said an Intel spokesperson. But don't expect USB 3.0 support in Intel chipsets anytime soon. Some credible speculation puts this as far out as 2012. That said, not everyone is necessarily waiting for Light Peak with bated breath. There are reports of Light Peak detractors, who claim it won't be widely implemented and that PC makers are, instead, gearing up for USB 3.0. But the USB 3.0 start-up phase has been going on for a long time. Moreover, USB 3.0 is now available on laptops from Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Asus, and Toshiba (laptop port replicator, in Toshiba's case) but only very selectively. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
