Mac only
We’ve already shown how to backup data from email programs on Windows, and so we thought it was only fair to do the same for Mac users. Using a free tool cleverly named Email Backup you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that you have a backup of your Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Eudora, or Thunderbird data. For those of you who have suffered the heartache of data loss you know just how valuable a backup like this can be.

Email Backup is really nothing fancy because all it does is copy the data and configuration files for the various applications into the location you specify. To restore the data from a backup you’ll have to manually copy it back into the respective directory, which for Apple Mail is /Users/USERNAME/Library/Mail/.

The one nice thing about this is that you can schedule a backup to occur at any time and on any day. You can additionally choose where you want the backups to be stored:

While it’s nothing too fancy this application can really come through in a bind. Once you have it setup you don’t really have to worry about anything else. And hopefully in a future version the developer will include a way to restore a backup from within the application.

With that May launch window closing fast, it looks like Nokia might get Ovi Store in under the proverbial wire: it just went live on Vodafone in Australia, which was soon followed by other carriers, and then Ireland and Singapore. According to a post that was subsequently pulled from Nokia’s Conversations blog, Nokia confirmed the rollout and said that it was progressively moving the Ovi Store to “production servers,” and that we could “expect a broader announcement and consumer availability soon.” Unfortunately, since that post has been pulled, we’re not really sure what to expect, but at least the lucky few with Ovi can beam back important missives on their Twittix apps about what life is like in the future. Above are shots of the store live on an N97.

Usually, Sundays don’t get too crazy at Engadget — after all, even super-nerds need to rest. That wasn’t the case yesterday, however, as we found ourselves knee-deep in a handful of seriously sweet smartphone leaks. Most of the news centered around AT&T’s upcoming devices (you know, like its first Android phones, brand new BlackBerry offerings, and… the Palm Eos), but we also saw a few new angles on the Pre. Do yourself a favor and hit all the links below — you won’t be sorry.

Well, what do you know? It looks like our favorite fingerpainter is really making a name for himself with his handset artwork. Like his other New York City-scapes, Jorge Colombo’s cover for the June 1, 2009 issue of The New Yorker was composed entirely in the Brushes iPhone app. And it looks like the artist’s switch to a digital format is no gimmick — he tells The New York Times that the device allows him to work “without having to carry all my pens and brushes and notepads with me.” And he can work in anonymity — to complete the cover he spent about an hour on 42nd Street, with no interruptions (try doing that with a canvas, an easel, and a full compliment of art supplies). Mr. Colombo, if you’re out there: we’d like to add you to our Mafia Wars family. Drop us an email.

BMH UK: There are few if any black or Asian people who have not at some point been forced to use plasters and bandages that contrast conspicuously with their natural brown skin tones.

The site of a friend’s child being bullied for wearing a conspicuous white plaster across his forehead after sustaining an injury in the playground, was the catalyst for Ndiho Sean Obedih, owner of Obedihs Enterprises Ltd , to design and bring to market Briton’s first black plasters.

YnotPlast’ s range of plasters will mean this child’s experience, which resonates with countless brown skinned people will make the trauma of wearing a comical white sticking plaster on brown skin a thing of the past.

YnotPlast products include bandages and first aid kits for home and leisure as well as sticking plasters for minor cuts and grazes in five natural shades of mocha, cocoa, caramel, bronze and honey.

The spending power of the rapidly growing ethnic market and this has forced companies both in the UK and abroad to adopt and tailor their products to the needs of ethnic minority groups.
