Lounging here in my paisley shirt and brown corduroys staring across the misty fenstowards the turrets and gargoyles of academia, I have time to ponder. What is the perfect add-in?

Back in September, when we reviewed Tranquil PC’s first Windows Home Server unit, the T7-HSA we loved its small, compact size which came with one big headache - a single internal drive and the lack of expansion options other than the use of external USB hard drives - which defeated the purpose of having such a small and neat [...]

Ian Dixon has been doing a valliant job of editing and sharing a huge variety of interviews he conducted at CES last week. Even though 140,000 people attend CES, it’s funny how you bump into the same people regularly, and every time I saw Ian, he had his tablet PC and microphone at the ready. Great [...]

Looks like the partnership between Streaming 21 and WNC continues to prosper, with the companies showcasing a Digital Photo Frame which connects to Windows Home Server at CES next week. I have a vested interest here, having recently purchased a Samsung Photo Frame which only connects to PCs running WMP11 (i.e. not WHS). Let’s hope this [...]
