Dolly Drive brings cloud storage to Apple’s Time Machine

By Laura Khalil January 21, 2011

Dolly Drive will be featured as part of MacWorld’s Indie Spotlight. The event takes place January 27-29th.

Dolly Drive works with Time Machine to locally duplicate, store online and restart access to your digital world through online storage. Dolly lets MacBook laptop users back-up and recover their data through Time Machine anywhere they travel. Mac desktop users can either skip buying an external hard drive or use both for a hybrid cloud solution.

“Time Machine is one of Mac users favorite applications, yet it’s been left behind in the push to the cloud. That limitation is now over.” said Dolly Drive chief architect Anthony Palermo. “Dolly Drive lets you finally use Time Machine free of constraints and with its easy external hard drive integration, provides a complete back-up solution.”

Dolly will launch in five storage offerings from 10 to 500 gigs and starting at $5 per month. Dolly Drive Pro will launch for the business world and include professional level service and administration features.

Dolly Drive is a product of Cirrus Thinking, an online storage and application development company based in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Boca Raton.

MacWorld Expo has traditionally been one of the premier conferences for Apple enthusiasts. The expo lost some steam after Apple pulled out of the conference in 2010. Despite Apple no longer sponsoring the event, it remains a prime conference for Apple peripheral vendors.

The expo will feature a variety of training sessions, including how to use an iPad, tutorials on various third party software such as Photoshop and features a perfomance by Sinbad.

4 CPUs you should buy instead of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is one of the best gaming processors you can buy, and it's easy to see why. It's easily the fastest gaming CPU on the market, it's reasonably priced, and it's available on a platform that AMD says it will support for several years. But it's not the right chip for everyone.

Although the Ryzen 7 7800X3D ticks all the right boxes, there are several alternatives available. Some are cheaper while still offering great performance, while others are more powerful in applications outside of gaming. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a great CPU, but if you want to do a little more shopping, these are the other processors you should consider.

Even the new mid-tier Snapdragon X Plus beats Apple’s M3

You might have already heard of the Snapdragon X Elite, the upcoming chips from Qualcomm that everyone's excited about. They're not out yet, but Qualcomm is already announcing another configuration to live alongside it: the Snapdragon X Plus.

The Snapdragon X Plus is pretty similar to the flagship Snapdragon X Elite in terms of everyday performance but, as a new chip tier, aims to bring AI capabilities to a wider portfolio of ARM-powered laptops. To be clear, though, this one is a step down from the flagship Snapdragon X Elite, in the same way that an Intel Core Ultra 7 is a step down from Core Ultra 9.

Gigabyte just confirmed AMD’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs

Gigabyte spoiled AMD's surprise a bit by confirming the company's next-gen CPUs. In a press release announcing a new BIOS for X670, B650, and A620 motherboards, Gigabyte not only confirmed that support has been added for next-gen AMD CPUs, but specifically referred to them as "AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors."

We've already seen MSI and Asus add support for next-gen AMD CPUs through BIOS updates, but neither of them called the CPUs Ryzen 9000. They didn't put out a dedicated press release for the updates, either. It should go without saying, but we don't often see a press release for new BIOS versions, suggesting Gigabyte wanted to make a splash with its support.
