02 Mac Backup Guru for OS X
MacDaddy has announced Mac Backup Guru 1.0 for OS X, an update to
its innovative utility designed to back up files and disks reliably and
simply. Traditionally, backing up a disk required either cloning,
trustworthy but time consuming, or standard syncing, fast but not
foolproof. Mac Backup Guru offers the best of both methods, easily and
quickly producing a backup disk that Mac owners can rely upon. With a
single Start button, the user can perfectly sync the contents of any
Source with its backup Destination.

There are big changes in iLoveNote, an iOS and Android app for the

affectionately share their life together in a private social network.
The app's features help improve communication and enrich the
relationship by creating an unique and fun way to express ideas,
thoughts, concerns and goals better than an email, text message, or
Facebook post.
