Stumbled across www.Freesentriloserver.com when looking for a quick way to setup a vent server for 15 people so we could play some Quake1 and taunt each other. Its a pretty slick setup, no tricks or gimmicks, just first come first serve. Pick a size,location and it sends you the information to login and manage the server, didn’t take long to setup accounts for everybody. I think we used the server for in total like 6 hours, had zero issues and the premium codecs are something that need to be heard to be believed. Worked perfect with Quake & Battlefield2 (Blew away ingame voice). If you need ventrilo server for 10-50 people on the cheap (FREE), Definately check out freeventriloserver.com Filed under: Applications and Computers and Cool and Games and VOIP Comments: 1 Comment

Storage options for devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, and portable media players are changing. While it used to be that you could buy a small SD card for a bit of storage, deferring to spinning hard disks when you needed more, that’s no longer the case.

Network Attached Storage (NAS) has finally started dribbling into the consumer space, and we couldn’t be happier. It seems as if a combination of all those years of nagging about backing up and the onset of streaming media has woken up the general public to the marvels of network accessible storage.

Changes: This release addresses some of the known scanning and build issues. An iwspy signal strength threshold feature now allows a monitored device to raise an iwspy userspace event when the threshold is crossed. The sample rate algorithm now provides statistics via the /proc file system. The next release most probably will take more than just another month. There are reported problems with scanning and associating, and the next release will address these issues. Filed under: Computers and Networks Comments: 2 Comments

The team estimates that they will have a USB disk on the market in 12 months, and a DVD product 6 to 12 months after that. With a partner like NEC on board, all of that is possible, assuming that the technical challenges have been met already. But the idea has been under development for a long time.

Tests show that PCs equipped with Intel’s new Core 2 Duo processors, formerly code-named Conroe, set new high marks for desktop performance—they’re the fastest we’ve seen by far. With this chip line, due to be formally launch on July 27 , Intel decisively reclaims the power desktop crown from competitor AMD. Filed under: Computers and General Comments: 1 Comment

A good number of European countries and consumer advocate groups are fighting proprietary schemes that some are calling “Defective by Design.” Apple is fighting back calling plans to force it to allow interoperability “state-sponsored piracy,” and has threatened to pull out of the French market.
