Apple Time Capsule: Over the Internet?

Category: Uncategorized

Apple just had a pretty fantastic keynote; Macbook Air, iPhone updates, iPod Touch that isn’t gimped anymore.. wonderful. The product that really stood out to me as meeting a long term need however was the Time Capsule.  I don’t know about anyone else out there, but backups are annoying.  However, i’m in an evenworse lot.I’ve got Family.Yes, i’m the family nerd.  I made the first step towards reducing total strange calls in the middle of the day or night about error messages and wireless networking by getting everyone to buy cute little white macbooks.  Marvelous!  However, backup remains a looming concern.I’ll buy a Time Capusule, just for me.  But if it can backup over the WAN port, backup over the internet, now then it’s a Family solution. Plus, as a business traveller, how nice to flip open the trusty MacBook Pro, and watch happily as Time Machine whirrs to life, backing up my typed-on-the-plane masterpiece over hotel Wi-Fi!  Apple! Don’t do your characteristic feature limiting. It’s a hard drive with an ethernet port, please let us use it as such!
