Ars Technica has gotten a hold of an internal e-mail sent out to Apple employees yesterday. It’s from Steve Jobs and guess what? He’s not very happy about MobileMe. Not at all. In fact, Jobs thinks that MobileMe should have been rolled out piece-by-piece or delayed somewhat. He says the launch was “not up to Apple’s standards.”

“It was a mistake to launch MobileMe at the same time as iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software and the App Store,” he says. “We all had more than enough to do, and MobileMe could have been delayed without consequence.”

He then goes on to give MobileMe an oral handjob and says it’s going to rock in the future. It most likely will, but this is one of the few times Apple let its guard down and got beat. Better watch out, Jobs.

So you’re like Ryan and have a 50GB+ porn collection and you need to back it up, eh? You don’t own a file server and that’s not really up your alley, so that’s out. You’d burn it to a DVD except it’d take about a month before you finished. Simply deleting it isn’t an option. So what are you left to work with?

Buffalo’s latest Blu-ray drive is what. It comes in an internal and external version, supports burning single-layer BD-R discs at a stunning 8x. It can burn DL BD-R at 2x, DVDs at 16x and the standard 48x for CD-Rs. Don’t forget: it can play all the aforementioned formats as well. At ~$430 for the external version and ~$400 and about $375 for the internal drive. Essentially, the deal of the century if you own a Playstation 3.
