Apple, assiduous host of patents, has filed a new envelope containing an overview of a method for the transport of personal data.

This type of features designed to make transportable, so complete, its user folder of Mac OS X. In this way, users would no longer need to ask your system administrator to prepare a special account dedicated to them, within the systems that they use temporarily.

It would be sufficient to graft its pendrive to have suffered any documents and settings prefer, obviously with the possibility of protecting all with a password.
The patent also proposes a type of storage of information suited to not explained multimedia devices. E ‘highly likely that Apple refers to its iPod and iPhone which, for now, can be used only with a portion of personal data, contacts and calendars, but not carrying all of their information.

Remain two points that are not explored dall’elaborato of the patent. In the first case is not specified what level of access would you host on your computer, which could range from consultation to the use of single-resident programs for changing its documents. In the second case is not clear if the Mac user, with its own user folder in your pocket, should go exclusively to research a Mac to pick up and run to their data, in which case the portability lose in versatility.
