@meskarune: Although similar on a molecular level, teeth are definitely not bones.

You can drum tooth whitening up to two things:

1) Another human insecurity created by the media (I fall into this category).

2) Some people have horribly (yes, horribly) brown teeth often caused by (amongst other things) medications. In some cases, whitening can help/reduce the severity of the brownness.

It just depends on the pet. My dog doesn't mind it but she doesn't mind anything.

I have a friend with two cats. One loves the vacuum but the other hates it.

Any pet that isn't scared by the vacuum can be trained to be vacuumed quite easily with treats.

To test it out before splurging $60 on this device, try vacuum the pet with the upholstery head. If they don't mind that, then, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

Cheers

@joetron2030 this is a significant issue. Any thief with a bit of breath can blow on the pad and reveal the numbers.

However, they'd still need to work out the combo so they'd need to calculate it. This too can be discovered though by the general direction of the fingerprint smudges.

I recently heard of a report indicating that a thief (it was a targeted break-in) placed a tiny, remote-transmit camera in view of the keypad. Needless to say, the moment the householder left, the thief was inside the house.

I can't say I trust them in any way - as much as I'd like to :(

@jokerman, indeed. Just last year, my parents house burnt down. The hard drive was salvaged but the data was irreplaceable.

By all means however, feel free to risk it. Just don't pass on your needs as everyones needs.

Everyone is different as are their needs.

@jokerman; Yeah, relying on a NAS is all you need... Oh! except when a thief/fire comes in and destroys the lot!

A true backup solution relies on both local and remote backup. Seriously.
