Sanus iPad Mount Adapter Preview
Ever want to mount your iPad underneath your kitchen cabinet? Why not - that way you can stream television, check the weather, or get your daily news fix right then and there. In a world of technology flow and cheap tablet-style devices like Apple's iPad, the world is afresh with new potential for smart devices. To meet this need, Sanus, manufacturer of audio/video mounts, furnishings and consumer electronics accessories, announced the release of a mount adapter that allows easy attachment of an iPad to any TV wall mount that is VESA 100 x 100 compatible.

For example, let's say you're on the $15-per-month plan, and you never use Netflix's Watch Instantly feature to stream movies. If FeedFliks determines that you watched an average of only 2.5 movies per month for the past three months, that works out to roughly $6 per movie–not a great return on your investment.
Very cautious users may find this a fair trade-off and be willing to trade some performance for rock-solid security, but we imagine they'll be less thrilled with Panda's convoluted and badly-designed interface.
Of course, there is a downside: If you don't have an Internet connection, you won't be able to use AlwaysOnPC. So if you really need to have local copies of your files, make sure they are synced to your Dropbox folder.
Once created, your TimePreserver archive disk appears to Mac OS X as just another Time Machine backup disk. You can restore files from an archive by mounting the appropriate disk image–each Mac's backup is saved as a disk image with that Mac's name–and either right-clicking (Control-clicking) the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-clicking the Time Machine icon in your menu bar, and then choosing Browse Other Time Machine Disks. Select the mounted archive disk, and the familiar Time Machine interface appears. You can even restore your entire Mac from a TimePreserver archive disk by booting your Mac from the Mac OS X Install disc, selecting Restore System From Backup, and selecting the appropriate backup archive.
