TIME CAPSULE - DEFEATING TIME WIRELESSLY

Apple has introduced Time Capsule, a wireless device that is an awesome product designed as companion hardware to the Time Machine automatic backup feature.
With Time Capsule, users will be able to go back through archived backups to find lost files, photos, digital media, and other data. Once the missing file is found, users can restore it wireless from Time Capsule; they can also restore an entire system from a Time Machine backup stored on the device.

Features & Pricing
If you are interested in analysing its technical specifications then let me mention it here:

Time Capsule features dual-band antennas for 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies.
It has one USB 2.0, one Gigabit Ethernet, and three Gigabit LAN ports.
It can connect to print wirelessly from a USB printer.
Time Machine offers Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA-2).
If you are keen about its security then for your information Apple reveals that it meets 128-bit WEP encryption.

Apple has set price that will make you think once before you buy, but again it is one of its type so pricing is really fair, it is of 500GB model for $299 and a 1TB version for $499.

MAKING A FILE/FOLDER INVISIBLE

How to hide a file/folder using Terminal This is one of the greatest technique that I ever came across, I had to share my Mac in office and was curious about hiding confidential data. This was when I started exploring and finally came up with this solution. These commands are to be typed in Terminal. To make a file or folder invisible in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a V testfile.txt Here is goes, the file or folder is no longer visible via the Finder GUI, though it will be by Terminal. Your files are still there and you can find them via the command line and will show with an ls command. If you want your files and folders to be visible again, use this command: To make a file or folder visible again in Mac OS X Finder setfile -a v testfile.txt Now the file/folder will be visible again to the Finder, cool isn't it? Please Note: setfile is a command line utility included in Apple’s Developer Tools, which is a highly recommended optional install included on any Mac OS X install
