LOL! I feel the love…

Sorry. The OP didn’t say anything about editing — only Log & Transfer. (Don’t worry. I won’t risk mentioning that I also edited off that same USB drive.)

(At the risk of helping someone mimic CSI Miami…YUCK!…)
What have you tried so far?

Well, maybe. It depends on what you’re capturing and what external USB drive you’re using. I have successfully live-captured 720p ProRes, through the BlackMagic Decklink card in my Mac Pro to an external Seagate FreeAgent 2TB drive connected via USB without any problems. I then tried swapping the Seagate drive with a bare Hitachi drive in a SATA dock connected via USB and had no joy.

Two iPhones, side-by-side. You know, for 3D.

But if it doesn’t let me edit and color-grade 4K feature-length films on my iPhone 3GS, then it will just suck.

Because most of us have invested all of our time into learning Final Cut Pro, adapting our workflows accordingly, and we’re getting stuff done and delivered. We’re not going to stop and play “my dad can beat up your dad.” There are still people editing with FCP on Mac G4’s and making money.
When it becomes impossible to make money editing in FCP, we will have already switched to something else.

If you’re on a deadline, stick with AE because it’s what you know.
But if you have some downtime, dig into Motion and learn it. You’ll find that there are scenarios where Motion can bang out some things much, MUCH quicker than AE. When you get to the point where you’re competent with both AE and Motion, it’ll be obvious when you want to use AE and when to use Motion.
Kind of like the difference between a biscuit joiner and a dowel jig. They both do essentially the same thing, but there are particular circumstances where each is a better choice than the other.

Firefox has an extension that allows you to essentially run other browsers right inside a tab based on URLs of specific sites. I know at one time I had it configured to run Internet Explorer for one particularly pesky site and it worked like a charm. Perhaps you could find it and tell it to use Safari to render nytimes.com.

I seriously doubt it’s a virus.
Do you do any routine maintenance tasks? (repair permissions, etc?)
