Apple replacing or repairing failure-prone 2008 Time Capsules, for free

If you were an early adopter of Apple’s Time Capsule (between February 2008, when it first shipped, and June 2008), you might have had your device not power on or shut down unexpectedly after starting up. Those who suspect their Time Capsules are suffering from this problem can visit an Apple Retail Stores or Authorized Apple Service Providers for replacement or repair free of charge, if confirmed.

Apple creates 2TB model of Time Capsule, drops the price of 1TB model

This week, Apple quietly updated their Time Capsule line by adding a 2TB model alongside the existing 1TB model. These new 2TB models will cost a nice sized $499.00, while the 1TB model has been lowered to just $299.00. The specs on the new, larger model appear to be the same as the 1TB model that has existed for a while now, except for, obviously, the size of the hard drive. It doesn’t even appear as if Apple has mentioned this new product update on their home page.
