Nowadays, just about all the companies are greatly relying to a greater or lesser extent on electronic data storage and a strong, secure internet presence. So how does one best meet those very real demands without revealing the business to apocalyptic destruction from evil hackers that intent upon doing destruction?

Online data backup system is one universally acknowledged way and probably the surest means to move from on-site server and media-based data storage.

Having an online data backup system, the data is safely stored on an off site computer — and the business owner has the only key to de-encrypt the information. That means it’s safe from harm by annoyed or crooked employees - or by anyone else out to harm your business. Beyond the recognized safety factor of that the other plus of it is that there’s no salaried time concerned in backing up and storing your vital customer and other business data … there’s no chance for human error to occur … backups can be programmed in the middle of the night … and there’s no chance of a tape, CD, server or any other media-based system being tarnished.

So, the previous article that I wrote was kind of an introduction for the topic that I will do for the month of February, I tackled the first pro of the Apple TV which is the availability of movies and the huge amount of movies available for renting.

Now, I will go on discussing the other side of the coin. The main problem or the huge turn off when it comes to renting these videos is the time limit for the consumer to watch it. You are only given 24 hours to watch it, but the thing is, not all consumers watch a film from start to finish. And especially the viewing behaviour of children where they watch a single movie over and over and over again for like a couple of months until they have memorized the whole script and their songs, and even their dance steps. But, blame should not be put on Apple, but on the movie studios that made this decision. Tsk.

Although the Apple TV is projected as a wireless device and that it can function with the built-in airport antennae, it can also have connectivity with the Ethernet cable. So this is a good news for people without wireless routers or wifi routers at home.

What’s lacking in the Apple TV or what’s left undeveloped is that if you have your own videos stored in your PC or Mac, and retrieve it using your IEEE 802.11n Apple TV, it really takes time to get it, as opposed to using the Ethernet cable where it is just a flash when it comes to retrieving DVD-rips and such.

The last entry for this month’s web innovations blog is the Apple TV being an all around device for us to be really entertained within the comforts of our own home. We can hear music using the Apple TV and watch home made videos, and also scan through pictures using the chic device. Ain’t that impressive? It sure does.

But what’s lacking in this device is that for a device to be an overall home entertainment device should have the function of other gadgets like being able to play with DVDs that you bought, although it is possible with the remote disc feature, but it consumes a lot of energy when you do that. And there are other devices in the market that gives the consumers other features like the Xbox and the Playstation 3.

Although it really sucks that there are some flaws or there are lacking points in the Apple TV, I am really hoping and hoping hard that the people at Cupertino will do something and make this product THE Bomb for the ultimate entertainment experience.
