Charlie Sheen's wife's troubles run way deeper than we had originally thought. His wife Brooke Mueller is currently in rehab battling her demons and we've just learned that she's been hiding an addiction to crack for quite some time now.
Brooke has already been to rehab once before for her addiction to crack, but according to Radaronline, she's been in rehab FIVE times for various substance addictions.
"The fact that she's married to Charlie and he has a problem too made things worse," said one source who knows both of them.
Charlie and Brooke spiraled out of control together and were reportedly drinking heavily and doing cocaine just days before they both entered rehab.
"Brooke has been out of control for months," the source told Radar. "She smoked crack the night before she had Charlie arrested in December."
These two are a big mess! They really need to get their lives back on track at least for the sake of their two children!

If you thought a few thousand dollars, you would be wrong.
For the past two years, the cost to federal taxpayers to fund motorcycle-only checkpoints in just three states is well over $500,000!
That's right.
In addition to the privilege of being signaled out and directed to a discriminatory checkpoint, you also have the pleasure of knowing that your hard-earned tax dollars are allowing this to occur.
Specifically, the fiscal 2012 and 2013 state highway safety plans indicate that New York and the District of Columbia have earmarked federal grants for MOCs.
New York budgeted $490,000 in the past two years alone! Even more troubling, the state used motorcycle safety funds from Section 402 of Title 23. Funds from this section should promote strategies to prevent motorcycle crashes from occurring and not be used to arbitrarily pull over riders and randomly subjecting them to roadside inspections.
And this is just for two years. New York stated in its highway safety plans that it has conducted MOCs "officially" since fiscal year 2009, but fails to mention its costs for fiscal years 2009-11.
Additionally, the District of Columbia stated in its highway safety plans that it conducts two motorcycle-only checkpoints each year and uses federal grants to fund a $25,000 enforcement budget to help pay for it.
You may also remember that Georgia was the only state to receive a federal grant in the amount of $70,000 from a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration program to create MOCs. The grant was used to conduct one or more roadside MOCs, including one by the Georgia State Patrol on I-95 on March 9, 2011 to single out motorcyclists on their way to Bike Week at Daytona Beach.
Fed up? You can do something about it.
Help us get additional cosponsors for H.R. 1861, the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding Act. The bill, introduced by U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), will protect motorcyclists' rights and promote crash prevention as the most effective use of taxpayer money to save motorcyclists' lives. It will also prohibit federal funds being used by states to conduct MOCs.
Act now by using our alert for H.R. 1861 to send a prewritten message to send to your representative!

You—the motorcyclist— can count on the AMA to guard your freedoms while you enjoy the ride.

The American Motorcyclist Association and its All-Terrain Vehicle Association oppose the language chosen by the Consumer Product Safety Commission for its new infographic webpage entitled CPSC Infographic: Big Real Rough Tough Deadly ATV Statistics.
What exactly is the CPSC's intention when it selected the words "rough" and "tough?" And the use of the word "deadly" implies what we can only infer is an extreme bias against ATVs by the CPSC.
I am perplexed with the use of the word "deadly" when the CPSC's own statistics indicate the ATV safety record is improving.
The result: this new infographic webpage may result in a harmful relationship between the responsible motorized community and the CPSC.
The AMA wants to know what you think of the new infographic webpage. Sound off with a comment.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle technology, known as V2V, is coming. Recently, AMA staff met with engineers at a V2V vehicle demonstration event in Washington, D.C., to learn more about how this emerging technology will work with motorcycles.
The event was hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation and eight automobile manufacturers that make up Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership Vehicle Safety Communications 3 – the group that is researching, developing and testing the technologies that form the framework for V2V systems. The car makers are Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai-Kia Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen.
What makes V2V work?
It uses dedicated short-range communications similar to Wi-Fi that is combined with the Global Positioning System. This system provides a 360-degree view of similarly equipped vehicles within communication range. Nine indicators are used by the system to help prevent crashes. They are GPS position, speed, acceleration, heading, transmission state, brake status, steering wheel angle, path history and path prediction.
According to the U.S. DOT, information transmitted by every vehicle would be anonymous and won't include personal identifiers, such as a name and license plate number. Additionally, a sophisticated security system would be in place to ensure communication between vehicles is authentic and can be trusted.
When a crash is predicted, the vehicle will provide a warning to the driver with a seat vibration, visual display or a combination of these indicators. Every automobile manufacturer will have different interfaces on how the driver and passengers will be alerted.
How do motorcycles fit into this emerging technology?
As envisioned, motorcycles would have the same equipment as other motor vehicles—such as an antennae and a module to store the short range communication device and GPS. The rider would remain in full control of the motorcycle. The technology would make it possible for other similarly equipped vehicles to "see" the motorcyclist.
At the demonstration event, AMA staff participated in two scenarios involving a vehicle and motorcycle equipped with the V2V technology. They were the Blind Spot Warning and Intersection Movement Assist scenarios.
The Blind Spot Warning alerted the car driver when the motorcycle entered the car's blind spot with an indicator on the car's side-view mirror, a seat vibration and audible alarm. If the driver turned the car's turn signal on, the indicator flashed with an audible alarm to let the driver know there was a bike in the car's path.
The Intersection Movement Assist allows vehicles to be aware of each other even if the view is obstructed. The scientists claim that current technology that uses radar cannot be trusted in this scenario because it cannot see around curves or if the view is obstructed. The Intersection Movement Assist system works similar to the Blind Spot Warning system. The only difference is the location of the indicator lights. With the Intersection Movement Assist, LED lights flash on the car windshield the direction the approaching vehicle is traveling.
With privacy and safety our utmost priorities, the AMA still has some areas of concern with this new technology. The U.S. DOT has stated that privacy and system security are secure. We aren't convinced. The AMA has provided comments to the Federal Communication Commission to bring awareness that the V2V technology may be compromised with unlicensed devices, such as other Wi-Fi networks. Therefore, we asked the FCC for further testing to ensure vehicles using advanced crash-avoidance and vehicle-to-vehicle- technologies are not compromised.
V2V technology presents another potential problem. With vehicular intersections already a well-documented problem for motorcyclists, can you imagine the false sense of security that drivers may have who are relying on advanced safety technologies? They may listen and look for the bells and whistles on their cars rather than look out the windows to actually see motorcycles. Drivers may believe these technologies will protect them and other road users, and may not be aware that these technologies could possibly malfunction at a critical moment.
As these new technologies emerge we must remain vigilant to ensure that motorcyclists, and motorcyclists' rights, are protected. The AMA is at the forefront in this effort and we will continue to inform our members and motorcyclists about our concerns and possible solutions.
On June 18, boosters of the untested-for-motorcycles E15 fuel blend (15 percent ethanol by volume) issued a statement saying there is no need for misfueling concerns for motorcycles as E15 becomes available to the public. It specifically cited the American Motorcyclist Association, in part, for delaying the availability of E15 nationwide in a press conference call.
The group insisted that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "has seen to it that E15 is clearly labeled at fueling stations." Additionally, the group released an E15 fact sheet for motorcyclists. The fact sheet stated that E15 is illegal to put into a motorcycle engine.
Telling motorcyclists that E15 use is illegal completely misses the point because motorcyclists don't want to use it unless independent testing confirms it is safe. One of the AMA's concerns has always been that riders might unintentionally put E15 in their fuel tanks due to confusing implementation of the EPA Misfueling Mitigation Plan and the possibility of residual E15 fuel left in a fuel hose, which could be as much as one-third of a gallon.
So now, besides having serious concerns about the potential harmful effects of unsafe fuel and inadvertent misfueling, AMA members and the motorcycling community have to worry about the consequences of breaking a federal law.
The AMA is troubled by the EPA plan for retailers to avoid inadvertent misfueling by consumers because the plan does not provide clarity to AMA members and the public. For example, it calls for yet another label on a blender pump that already has many labels. The plan does not require any physical barriers in the fueling nozzle/receptacle, as was provided when the nation transitioned from leaded to unleaded fuel. Finally, the plan calls for a single, separate E10/E0 fuel pump when E15 will be sold through a blender pump and signage directing consumers to an E10-or-lower fuel pump.
In addition to our concerns with the EPA Misfueling Mitigation Plan, we question if every retailer selling E15 will abide by its requirements. If a retailer does not clearly label E15, a motorcyclist may inadvertently receive it, believing it is an E10 or E0 blend. If a retailer does not separate E10 from E15 in a blender pump, a motorcyclist selecting E10 can inadvertently receive more than a quart of E15 fuel leftover in the pump hose. Or if a retailer offers only a single pump with E10/E0, what options are left when the pump runs out of what is likely to be the most popular fuel offered at that station?
Get the facts on this important issue with the AMA's E15 and Motorcycles-a Q&A.
If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has its way, then E30 fuel is coming to a gas pump near you.
Here's why.
Automobile and motorcycle manufacturers must certify that the on-highway vehicles they produce will meet applicable U.S. EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration emissions, fuel economy and safety requirements prior to selling the vehicles. The fuel that the vehicles must use for this requirement is called the "certification fuel."
By administrative fiat, the EPA now proposes to change the certification fuel to E15, with an allowance for manufacturers to petition the EPA for an E30 certification. This proposal, if promulgated, will create an environment where this country will have a divided fleet of engines requiring different types of fuel.
The current certification fuel is E0 – that is, fuel that has no ethanol content whatsoever.
Changing the certification fuel to E15 or E30 is at odds with the 22 million motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles currently in use, not to mention the legacy fleet of cars, boats, lawnmowers, generators and hundreds of millions of small engines in commerce today. None of these vehicles and engines is designed to operate on fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol.
The AMA believes that the current certification fuel should not be changed to reflect what the EPA calls "forward-looking" assumptions about what "could become a major gasoline blend over the next 10-15 years," such as E15 or E30.
Currently, the risks of increasing E15 in the marketplace will negatively impact every American. Since the EPA used only one test to determine whether E15 is safe for vehicles before granting a waiver allowing E15 into the marketplace, the AMA urges the agency to allow for an independent scientific study of E15. We also request that motorcycles and ATVs be included in the study.
The AMA has expressed concerns about E15 being mistakenly used and damaging engines in motorcycles and ATVs, and about the continued availability of gasoline that has no ethanol, or gasoline with only a 10 percent blend, that is safe for use in motorcycles and ATVs.
With the EPA wanting to certify fuel at possibly E30, every motorcyclist should be very concerned.
This is why we urge you join the American Motorcyclist Association and fellow motorcyclists at the AMA E15: "Fuel For Thought" lobby day in Washington, D.C., on June 19. The event includes a ride and a rally at the U.S. Capitol, and will educate lawmakers about the need to research the possible harmful effects of E15 fuel on motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle engines.

It seems every time I pick up a newspaper or watch TV, I see another story about federal budget cuts and continued budget shortfalls. This is especially true for federal land management agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service.
With budgets being cut, many – including myself – are worried how these cuts will affect access to our public lands, especially for responsible off-highway-vehicle use. This is particularly concerning because one of the most frequent reasons given by land managers for closing an OHV trail is lack of funding for trail maintenance.
However, we are not getting the whole story.
As federal agencies are faced with shrinking budgets, instead of working to reduce inefficiencies and wasteful spending, the Department of Interior is attempting to expand the area it already manages. Let me say that one more time: As its budget is shrinking and federal land managers are curtailing operations, the DOI is purchasing more land!
I am not the only one to notice this disturbing trend.
U.S. Rep. Bob Bishop recently said, "It's ironic that the Department of Interior can't find money to keep normal operations at our parks, yet they always seem to have money to buy more land."
I find it sad. As OHV trails, campsites and visitor centers across the country are delaying opening day to save money, the DOI is trying to increase the size of its domain. We need to ask the people's representatives in Congress to keep a close watch on the budgets of federal land agencies.
We -- the OHV community – also need to be involved in maintaining trails and creating a proper and responsible riding environment so that federal land managers don't have excuses for closing trails.
We can do this in several ways. First, by following all posted rules and regulations regarding where we are allowed to ride. Second, we must always pack out what we bring in. Third, we must remain vigilant and keep our lawmakers informed when government tries to limit access to our lands for responsible recreation. Lastly, we can volunteer with the BLM, USFS and NPS to help ensure the trails we all enjoy are well maintained, safe and fun.
The AMA is currently attempting to secure a list of trails that were closed due to lack of funds. With this information we hope to work with federal, state and local land managers and volunteers to reopen trails across the country.

The month of May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, which is one of the most important months of the year for the safety of all road users -- especially motorcyclists.
As the largest motorcycling rights and event-sanctioning organization in North America, the American Motorcyclist Association urges drivers to avoid crashes with motorcyclists by taking extra care and looking twice to spot motorcycles in traffic -- especially at intersections – and respect the motorcyclists' space on the road and not follow too closely.
The AMA recognizes that distracted or inattentive driving has become a major concern for all road users. Far too many cases have been documented of motorcyclists being injured or killed as a result of other vehicle operators being distracted or inattentive.
Recently, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood issued voluntarily guidelines that encourage automobile manufacturers to limit the distraction risk associated with electronic devices built into their vehicles. High-tech devices designed for communications, entertainment and navigation, known as "infotainment systems," will inevitably increase distracted driving and add to the ever-increasing number of crashes and fatalities attributable to distracted and inattentive vehicle operation.
The AMA sent a letter applauding LaHood for issuing the guidelines to combat distracted driving because we share his view that "Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic that has devastating consequences on our nation's roadways."
Responding in a letter on behalf of LaHood, the National Highway Safety Administration expressed pleasure that the AMA supports efforts to curtail distracted driving. Furthermore, the NHTSA pointed out that in-vehicle technologies distract driver attention and increase the risk to all motorists, including motorcyclists.
To view AMA position statements on distracted and inattentive vehicle operation and rider education, as well as other subjects, visit www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rights/positionstatements.
Recently, at a meeting with California Gov. Jerry Brown's staff, the AMA learned that California intends to opt out of the federal Recreational Trails Program. This means California will spend approximately $5.7 million less on recreational trails in 2014.
The RTP functioned as a standalone program within the federal highway trust because it is based on a user-pay/user-benefit system. All of the funding for the program came from taxes paid on gasoline by OHV users (you and I) when we filled up our gas tanks. In essence, when groups applied for grants from the program they were simply applying for their money back.
This will no longer be the case.
According to the governor's proposed budget, the funds that were congressionally authorized to fund trails will be diverted to fund active transportation projects. This will include only walking and bicycling projects that will reduce greenhouse emissions.
Starting in 2014, Brown is asking OHV users to continue to pay the federal and state excise tax on gasoline and derive no benefit. In fact, he is telling the OHV community to fund other projects instead.
The RTP program in California is exceptionally popular and well run. Each year RTP administrators receive more applications for grants than they can fund. Additionally, in 2011 California was recognized by the Coalition for Recreational Trails for administering the program efficiently.
In proposing this state budget, Brown has shown how much he values the OHV community in California and surrounding states. The AMA does not plan to sit out this budget battle on the sidelines. In fact, we – along with other users of recreational trails – have begun a large grassroots campaign to get the governor to reconsider his decision to opt out of the RTP.
We need your help! Please send the governor a letter – you can do so by going here and clicking the "Take Action" button. Additionally, share this link with all your friends and urge them to do the same.
One word—yes.
On May 7, U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) introduced H.R. 1861, the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding Act. The bill will protect motorcyclists' rights and promote crash prevention as the most effective use of taxpayer money to save motorcyclists' lives.
The bill incorporates Sensenbrenner's legislation (H.R. 904) introduced in the previous Congress. H.R. 904 would have prohibited the U.S. Department of Transportation from providing funds to state and local authorities for the purpose of creating motorcycle-only checkpoints.
This bill is critical to ending the discriminatory practice of MOCs.
You—the motorcyclist— can count on the AMA to watch your six while you enjoy the freedom of riding.
It turns out that riding your motorcycle can help keep your brain fit.
A study performed by Dr. Ryuta Kawashima of the University of Tokyo demonstrated that people who rode their motorcycles daily experienced improved memory and spatial reasoning capacity.
The study examined three groups. One group of riders had been riding their bikes daily for an extended period of time. The second was a group of former riders who had not been on a motorcycle in over 10 years. Each group had their brains scanned while riding and performing other activities. Finally, they examined a group that did not ride a motorcycle at all.
Interestingly, the images of each groups' brains showed vast differences. When riding, the riders who had continuously motorcycled used the right hemisphere of the prefrontal lobe – the area associated with higher mental functions, such as speech, planning and motivation – and demonstrated higher levels of concentration. Those who had not been on a motorcycle for over 10 years did not.
The benefits of riding more do not stop once you get off your bike. Current riders experienced higher levels of cognitive faculties. Interestingly, at the end of the study, the former riders also experienced these benefits as compared to the control group which did not motorcycle.
These effects are vastly different that those generated from driving a car, which does not produce the same benefits. This is largely due to the fact that driving a car under normal condition does not create similar stimuli, or require the increased levels of concentration, as motorcycling.
An added bonus, all participants reported a more positive mental state and lower levels of stress at the end of the study.
As if you didn't already need another reason to ride your motorcycle more!

Mothership's David Rosenbaum Directs "Robotarm" for Cisco
Mothership's David Rosenbaum Directs "Robotarm" for Cisco
Los Angeles, CA—January 26, 2012 —Mothership director David Rosenbaum teamed with OgilvyWest to tell a simple story about a complex concept in a "Robotarm" for Cisco that broke during the NFC Championship broadcast on January 22. Despite a four-week timeline, the all-CG spot delivers film caliber computer animation that is entirely photo-real.
The commercial depicts a cheerfully aware group of self-sustaining automotive assembly robots as a metaphor for Cisco Intelligent Networks that can fix and diagnose themselves. Nine unique robots star in the spot, all designed to emulate the look of classic factory machinery enhanced with distinct characteristics. Synchronized to Gary Numan's "Cars," the robots drill, rivet, screw, weld and hand body parts off to one another. The set was entirely built in CG, based on reference photography from modern automotive plants.
Rosenbaum collaborated closely with OgilvyWest co-chief creative officers James Dawson-Hollis and Bill Wright to approach the spot as if it were a live action shoot. Instead of shooting with cameras on set, they worked alongside Digital Domain's previs team to frame up shots and work out compositions with rough animations.
"From the beginning we knew we wanted to use a factory metaphor to tell the story of complex computer systems that can diagnose and fix themselves," said Rosenbaum. "Together with the OgilvyWest team we took that idea to a new place—doing away with a traditional assembly line, creating robots with distinct personalities and bringing them closer together so they could interact. In the end I think we were able to humanize the technology and make it more understandable."
"The nature of the schedule forced us to work in an unorthodox way on this project," added VFX supervisor Aladino Debert, also a Mothership director. "Doing look development and modeling while simultaneously animating, lighting and compositing, relied heavily on the technical and artistic prowess of our seasoned team and ability to turn around photoreal rendering very quickly."

New role for Bogusevic
Brian Bogusevic's time as a professional pitcher is apparently over.
The Houston Astros are sending the Hooks' left-hander to High-A Salem to become an outfielder, farm director Ricky Bennett confirmed Saturday.
Bogusevic, the Astros' first-round pick in the 2005 draft out of Tulane, played right field in college but has worked exclusively as a pitcher since turning pro.
With the Hooks this season, Bogusevic, 24, was 2-6 with a 5.50 earned-run average in 17 starts. However, Bennett said the position switch had nothing to do with any lack of progress on the mound.
"He was progressing as a pitcher, but with our players, my job is to project each player in our organization and decide what their ultimate role will be at the major-league level," Bennett said. "Through our evaluation and feedback from our staff, we didn't feel like Brian's ceiling would be as a high as a pitcher as it would be as a position player. We felt we wanted to give him an opportunity and make a decision sooner than later and give him time to transition into a position player."
At Tulane, Bogusevic hit .330 with 14 home runs and 129 runs batted in during three seasons with the Green Wave.
"The one thing that we have comfort in is the same scouts who turned him in as a first rounder as a pitcher also liked him as a corner outfielder high in the draft," Bennett said. "This is something that has been talked about since day one."

Whenever I see these panty upskirt shots of girls getting out of a car, I am reminded of a better time, where I'd spend my days hanging out at the bottom of the escalators at the mall in hopes of looking up a girls skirt, now I only do that on weekends. I find that whole unsuspecting thing where a girl has no idea she's showing off her underwear, but I totally know that I am looking at her underwear that may only last for a couple of seconds, but stamps my brain with memories for at least a couple of weeks. It gets really exciting when the girl isn't wearing underwear and I see her lady parts that I am sure she had no intention of showing me, but destiny and my crafty positioning brought us together.
I realized that I am a pervert today because I was standing outside smoking a cigar and some girl in a short skirt walked out of the building I was next too. She was looking for a taxi or was waiting to cross the street or some shit I didn't bother paying attention to because a gust of wind blew her skirt up showing me her thonged ass. I was considering walking away prior to this happening, but the second I got a first glimpse of ass cheek, I was hooked and I made it my duty to wait it out to see if it would happen again. It didn't. I just got busted by her boyfriend and had to pretend that I was staring at her short skirt covered ass for a reason other than it being a good way to pass the time.
Either way, here's Audrina Partridge from The Hills getting out of a car and showing us a little panty that was captured on camera so that split second can last us as long as we want it to.

ABOUT ME: Hello Curious. I do not want to say...
ABOUT ME: Hello Curious. I do not want to say too much, but I will jot down few things about me to satisfy your curiosity. I am goal oriented, smart, helpful, thoughtful, respectful, confident and honest. I am very open minded and I never feel insecure when in a relationship. I like to do different type of activities. I enjoy interesting conversation. We can talk about any subject you like and the conversation will be interesting. When it comes to being funny, I will let you decide. Even though I can cook, I do appreciate when a woman cooks for me once in a while. I also enjoy cooking meals together. If you mess up the food, I will not complain. I will happily help you fix it so long it isn't burnt, LOL! If you enjoy listening to someone with an accent, well I speak several languages and I speak them all with an accent. I enjoy getting to know a person through conversation instead of back and forth texting or emailing. I am neither extraverted nor introverted. I have the personality that is a mixture of both (ambiverted). ABOUT MY MATCH: Everyone has their own idea of the perfect person that they want to be with. For me a perfect person is a woman that maintains herself well, is respectful and stands by me when needed. I like a woman that does not feel insecure about her imperfection(s) and knows how to dress for any occasion. I find it attractive when a woman can do something that I cannot do well. I am comfortable being with a feminine woman or a tomboy so long she dresses like a woman. When it comes to who I want to be with, I do not see color. I see: 1. Attraction 2. Personality 3. Qualities 4. Similarities and differences 5. whether I want to be with you. When I am in a relationship, I will be your friend, a partner and a lover to keep. So, take a leap of faith before it's too late. Don't be like the rest and let someone else pick one of the few good bachelors left, "Me". DEAL BREAKER: I tend to be allergic to fake hair, eyelashes, too much makeup, and colored contacts. I am attracted to natural beauty with flaws (Is that too much to ask?). I find excessive use of phone and texting during a conversation disrespectful. If you are into drugs, drinking heavily, smoking, vegetarian and cannot decide about having kids, please give your time to someone else. I have a dog and I love pets, but if you like kissing your dog, forget about me. I don't think that is hygienic. NOTES: You will not get a reply if you do not have pictures on your profile, if your profile is empty, if you only have group pictures and I can't tell which one is you, if you wear sunglasses in all of your pictures, if all of your pictures are head shots and if all of your pictures are fuzzy. LET'S SEAL THE DEAL: To make our relationship 100%: If I show interest in knowing more about you, that's the first 20%. You show interest in knowing more about me, another 20%. We both like each other's personality, 20%. We go out few times and have a good time, 20%. We both decide to deactivate our Match.com account since we've found in each other what we looking for, that is the last 20%. If you notice me before I notice you, be confident and contact me. I understand that reading about me can be interesting, but getting to know me as a person is more intriguing. So, let's start a conversation. It may be the beginning of a happy relationship. WARNING TO SCAMERS: Do not waste your time to contact me because I know your tricks very well.

Maxtor OneTouch III Mini supports Mac OS
updated 09:05 am EST, Mon January 8, 2007
Maxtor OneTouch III Mini
Seagate today announced that its Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition is now compatible with Mac OS X. The USB 2.0-based sleek storage and backup solution can quickly and easily transport and backup/synchronize their video files, photos, music tracks and any other digital content. The Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition is a mobile storage solution that ships with a complete set of software to protect digital content, including automated backup, data protection and file synchronization. Using the automated backup software, Mac users can now ensure that all their files are automatically backed up on a set schedule or with the touch of a button.
In addition synchronization features allow users sync home and office Macs. The storage device also features Maxtor DriveLock, embedded firmware that further restricts data access if the drive is ever lost or stolen--even if the internal hard drive is removed and attached to another computer.
The Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition features an attractive metallic design, and comes equipped with black rubber side panels that provide non-skid "feet" and added vibration protection. The compact device weights less than eight ounces.
At this year's Macworld attendees, Seagate will be raffling off a limited supply of the specially-designed mobile storage solutions coated with a San Francisco-themed GelaSkin, a premium- grade vinyl coating that lets owners customize their portable storage with graphics and protect the surface from scratches.
The Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition is available now at major retailers, distributors and online stores for $130 (80GB), $170 (120GB) and $230 (160GB).
