Until last week, I'd never actually listened to anything that Robin Thicke had released. Then someone dropped Blurred Lines into our group chat. And, well, I liked it. Because, well, nekkid. Rather than disappear into a cloud of censorship, the YouTube left the video up for six days. More »

Transporter

Do you store work files on Dropbox?so that you can still access them when you are not at the office? Do you use various cloud storage services so that you can share personal files, images, and videos with friends and family? For end-users and businesses worried about security and privacy on these third-party services, Transporter from Connected Data may be the exact private offline yet online storage they are looking for. Part network-attached-storage and part cloud storage, Transporter offers users remote access to data stored on its drives.

Users on the same network as the Transporter can take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet speeds to access the files. If the Transporter is on a remote network, then the user is restricted to that network's upload and download speeds, but that isn't any different from what you would have with a cloud service. The Transporter is better than a NAS, though, because you can access the Transporter files from anywhere in the world, so long as you have an Internet connection.

However, the key feature for the Transporter isn't its remote access functionality, but the fact that it can communicate with other Transporters. The Transporter maps to a drive on your computer that you can directly navigate to. The desktop management software, Connected Desktop, lets you switch between Transporters and different files. When you want to share your files, you send an invitation asking the recipient to register an account.

What It Looks Like
The Transporter is a stylish, not-quite-obelisk-shaped black box, measuring about 3.9 inches x 3.9 inches x 5.52 inches. The case ?looks more like a fancy paperweight or conversation piece for the coffee table than a network-attached-storage device. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the Transporter is very easy to move around.?

A Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB port are built into the base of the unit, and a colored light indicates the Transporter's status. Reddish yellow indicates a problem, such as low disk space or no Internet connection, greenish-blue is normal operation, and flashing blue means it is transferring data.?

Users can buy the Transporter with a 1TB hard drive ($299), with a 2TB hard drive ($399), or without any hard drive at all ($199). The Transporter can take almost any 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drive, including SATA II, SATA-300, SATA 3Gb/s, SATA III, SATA-600, and SATA 6Gb/s drives, as long as it is 160 GB or larger. Users can decide exactly how much storage capacity they need and swap out for larger drives as necessary.

Unlike many of the popular NAS products on the market, the Transporter has only one drive bay, so there is no way to aggregate storage capacity together in a RAID configuration. In this case, the Transporter is more like an external hard drive that happens to be on the network than a true NAS.

However, unlike an external drive, the Transporter can back up its data on another Transporter and restrict who has access to the files. Transporter can store and transfer videos, pictures, documents, and spreadsheets to other Transporters, other computers (with the Connected Desktop management software installed), and iOS devices.

Getting Started
Connected Data sent me two Transporters, each one with 1 TB hard drive inside. I plugged the Transporter (from now on to be referred to as the "lab unit") into one of PC Mag'stest networks and created an account on the Transporter Website. Once I registered for an account, I was able to "claim" the Transporter based on the device's serial number. This associated the Transporter with my account.

I set up the second Transporter (the "remote unit") on a different network. At this point, I logged back into my account and claimed the second Transporter as well. I could see both Transporters via Connected Desktop. If a friend had yet another Transporter and granted me access on some of the files on that unit, I would have seen that Transporter listed as well.

As part of the setup process, I installed the Connect Desktop software on my test computer. This is the actual software that allows me to browse the files stored on any of the Transporters I have access to. The software works on Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x, Windows 7 SP1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and Windows 8 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. While there is an app for iOS versions 5.1.x ?and higher, an Android app is not yet available.

When I want to transfer files or share with other people, I send an invitation through the interface to the user's email address. That person registers for an account, installs the software, and that's it.

Transporting the Data
The people you want to share your files with also use Connected Desktop to access the data, even if they aren't on your network.?Next: Accessing the Data on the Transporter

Bloom, Rashad in Broadway's 'Romeo and Juliet'

NEW YORK (AP) ? Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad will star on Broadway this fall in a modern take on William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," a revival that will add an intriguing element of racial contrast to the classic tale of two star-crossed lovers.

"The last thing we wanted to do was to do a sort of pompous, classic version of 'Romeo and Juliet,'" said director David Leveaux, a five-time Tony Award nominee. "I'm just taking away all the wallpaper and mantelpieces, all the kind of pompous stuff we associate with grand Shakespeare productions, and try to go as simple as possible."

Producers said Monday that previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will begin Aug. 24 with an opening night set for Sept. 19. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on April 8.

The production will also star two-time Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell as the Nurse and Tony nominee Joe Morton as Lord Capulet. The Capulets will be played by black actors and the Montagues by white actors.

Leveaux stressed that the idea of exploring the racial difference between the two feuding Italian families came organically after the casting of the lead actor and actress.

"I did not set out to create some conceptual frame," he said. "At the end of the day, if you're sitting in Row E in a Broadway theater, you either believe that these two people are in love and are invested in them or the play doesn't work."

Leveaux said Bloom came aboard first several years ago, thirsty to try his hand at the work despite the director saying there were easier ways to make his Broadway debut. Years ago, Bloom had wanted to join the Royal Shakespeare Company but was persuaded to film "The Lord of the Rings" instead.

"I was just so fascinated by his passion and his absolute boyish love of this language that I thought, 'Yep, that feels like our Romeo," Leveaux said.

Leveaux, whose Broadway credits include the musical "Nine" with Antonio Banderas and "Cyrano de Bergerac" starring Kevin Kline, found his Juliet after seeing "Stick Fly" on Broadway and immediately spotting the "luminous" Rashad, who was playing a maid with a secret.

They began to work together and the director was smitten: "That combination of wit and heart, which is what you need in a Juliet, seemed sort of irresistible to me."

Leveaux put the pair together for the first time in Los Angeles a few months ago to see if they could produce sparks and proposed they start performing the Act 2 balcony scene.

"The first line out of Condola's mouth made Orlando laugh," he said. "I looked at him and it was like watching a man shed every ounce of armor he had as a celebrity and just adore this girl. I thought, 'There you go.'"

Leveaux then decided not to be colorblind about the cast, concluding that Juliet's parents must be black and Bloom must come from a white household. The casting teases out how very conservative the two families have become.

He said "Romeo and Juliet" is a fast and urgent play and both families are barely able to conceal a deep well of barbarism. That has Leveaux wanting to go as simple as possible and he is tempted to just cover the stage with sand and then set fire to it.

"That's what this production should feel like ? it should feel like fire on the sand," said Leveaux, who once did a production of Sophocles' "Electra" with Zoe Wanamaker and covered the stage with earth. "To make it modern, we're going primal."

Bloom, who also has appeared in "The Pirates of the Caribbean" film series, recently completed filming "Zulu" with Forest Whitaker. Rashad, the daughter of Phylicia Rashad and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad, earned a 2012 Tony nomination for "Stick Fly" and was in the recent remake of "Steel Magnolias." She is also in the new Broadway revival of "The Trip to Bountiful" with Cicely Tyson.

It will be the first "Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway since Paul Ryan Rudd and Pamela Payton-Wright played the doomed lovers in a 1977 Circle in the Square production. Other famous names to play the parts on Broadway include Claire Bloom, John Neville, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier.

This new revival precedes another high-profile New York production of the play. A Classic Stage Company production will star Elizabeth Olsen next season.

Over the centuries, the story of the warring Capulets and Montagues has been set in creative ways, whether it's to illustrate the divide between Palestinians and Israelis or competing American pizza parlors. The martial-arts flick "Romeo Must Die" updated the Montagues and Capulets into a gang rivalry between blacks and Asians in California.

Now a fresh version aims for Broadway.

"While I think it's a terrifying idea to do 'Romeo and Juliet' on Broadway, equally, why would you do 'Romeo and Juliet' anywhere but?" Leveaux asked. "That's the place to get really mischievous and primal and urgent and direct."

Developer Freedom At Stake As Oracle Clings To Java API Copyrights In Google Fight

Editor's note: Sacha?Labourey is CEO and Steven G. Harris is senior vice president of products for CloudBees. APIs exist for a reason: They act as the communication channel, the lingua franca, the boundary, between the provider of the implementation and users of that implementation -- developers. Will our economy thrive and be more competitive because companies can easily switch from one service provider to the other by leveraging identical APIs?
