Apple Time Capsule hand on
After long waiting, I got one finally.
The box:
Unboxing:
And then working!
And here's a note, the command to limit my 1TB Time Capsule use only 500G for backup (so that I can use the other 500G for other stuffs), according to the comment of this hint:
hdiutil resize -size 500g -shrinkonly /Volumes/path/to/sparsebundle/
But the speed of backup is really really slow, that disappointed me. What a shame! It would be perfect if the backup speed up.

Flickr Video vs. Youtube
Finally, Video on Flickr!
I've uploaded a test video:
And here's the same video on youtube, to be compared:
So here's the comparison:
- Speed: youtube is much much faster than flickr, anyway, youtube consumed half of California's bandwidth, so it's no surprise.
- Who can upload: everybody, every free users can upload to youtube, but only pro users ($24.95/y) can upload videos to flickr now.
- Geotag: you can geotag your video on flickr, but seems that you can't do it on youtube.
- Original file: you can download the original file of your video in flickr's embed page, so in case you lost your original file, it's a way to get it back.
- Sizes: there's only 1 size on youtube, but many sizes on flickr to embed.
- Group: on flickr, you can group your videos along with your photos, so the photos/videos can be grouped together.
- Privacy control: you can filter viewers with your flickr contacts, as I already have a community on flickr, but not on youtube.
So, from now on, I may move from youtube to flickr, flickr rocks!
