Apple's TimePiece
Apple's TimePiece, a revolutionary new product \
service to be unveiled
next month, sources claim (yes, another apple rumor...fanboys rejoice)
TimePiece, still unknown if 'firmware update' for Time Capsule or sold
separately, will enable users to browse back in time (a La Time Machine),
not only on their local drive, but web pages as well.
the principal is quite simple; backup entire domains, as several companies
already do, using petabyte scale storage pools (in folk-talk, record the
internet on a giant computer) and serve it chronologically. apparently,
apple has been recording the 'net for some years, since 1991 (first browser,web page ever,
NeXt computers).
TimePiece will enable users to check, for example, what happened on
the internet on Sep. 10th, 2001, or Sep 12th... or to see how trends@net
grow.
no details as of yet on the cost, or the business model (will it be like a .mac
account, or pay-by-session? may pay-per-Mb?)
Time will tell..
