Time Machine + Time Capsule + iLife + .mac = Life Caching
It looks like Apple is on the Life Caching track. Today they introduced Time Capsule, a 500 GB or 1 TB wireless backup devise. If you combine that with Time Machine (a OS X Leopard feature) and their digital life capturing software (iLife) you get Life Caching. I've called it Digital Life Management, but it's the same thing really. All they need to do is combine it with iCal and provide a way for the life content to be published and you have something special. Not that these tools aren't special, but I've never understood why they haven't done this. Maybe they will, but until then there's an opportunity for something cool.
What they need is a method to import RSS feed data that you've generated from different services into your calender - then I would say that is a bit closer to a true life caching solution.
While the method will gather your life and your computer it misses the larger mark of the data you create online.
