Back in March I wrote about AdminiMe 2010 written by Windows Home Server MVP Nick Asseloos of Asoft. Nick has been hard at work on improvements to AdminiMe and fixes of issues reported by users.
The new updated software has the same look and feel so if you’re already familiar with AdminiMe then you will feel right [...]
One of the biggest criticisms of the Popcorn Hour A-200(see my full review here) revolved around the design. The Popcorn Hour A-100, A-110, and C-200 (see my full review here) had all used an aluminum case and were fanless. This helped ensure that the devices ran quiet and cool, two very important things for any [...]
If you are like me, visualizing information can be much more intuitive than simply reading numbers and metrics.

With CES 2010 taking place this week, I thought it would be a good chance to get some feedback from our readers, what new gadgets/technology are you hoping to see introduced? Is it the latest smartphone, the next iGadget, an affordable robot to replace your spouse, or maybe you are just looking for simple products [...]

We’ve got a new Windows Home Server MVP, added new moderators and editors, released several Add-Ins, and even [...]
Over the past few months I have had a chance to test out a few media players, namely the Popcorn Hour C-200 and Myka 250. Well, it is time for another media player review, and of course the obligatory unboxing. I just finished setting up my Dad with an EX495 and he was interested in [...]
I was contacted a couple of months ago by an editor from the German computer magazine c’t, and asked if several of the Add-Ins published on this site by myself and Nigel “Cougar” Wilks could be distributed on CD with an upcoming issue of the magazine. Nigel and I of course gave our blessing to [...]
