I have been thinking about creating a central storage for my home computers. I have been using dropbox but I don't feel comfortable putting all my files in the cloud. So I finally pulled a plug on Synology ds212j . I was debating between synology and QNAP . I decided to go with Synology because it was less expensive and appeared to be more popular. I also ordered 2TB WD Red hard drives, courtesy amazon.com recommendations. If you are in the market for a NAS, here are a few things to keep in mind; 1.   Hard disk size : If you are planning to buy a new drive, it is recommended to go with a bigger size because it would save you the effort to reconfigure the volume . But if you are on a budget and want to use existing hard drives then you may find Synology Hybrid RAID useful. It allows you to make the most of available storage and provides simple steps to replace the hard drives in future. 2. It is not a backup : I was surprised when I read in forums that RAID is not a backup be...

My 2 year old was very comfortable using the native YouTube app that was part of previous iOS.  I downloaded YouTube iphone app but it is not as intuitive as the native app. I wish there was a way to revert to iOS 5 or a new app from Google for iPad. 

I recently activated 2-step verification on google. When I opened my ipad it kept asking me for exchange password. I tried entering my correct password for gmail but it kept prompting for the password. A quick search on google from my computer brought me to this page http://www.ipadforums.net/off-topic/55512-exchange-password-problem.html . I was able to get around the problem by following steps as listed below; 1. Double press home button to bring up multi-tasking bar that allows switching to other apps. 2. Click on settings app 3. You will still see the password prompts. Try to hit cancel and activate airplane mode. It may take a couple of tries since you have to do it quickly. 4. Then go to Mail and click on gmail account settings. You need to reset your password as mentioned in next step. 5. Now switch to your computer. Go to google 2-step verification setting page . Login using your gmail account password. 6. Click on the "Manage application specific passwords" l...
