If you were wondering about your installation of Boxee on Apple TV and the new 3.0 upgrade – don’t do it! At least not just yet anyways.
ATV 3.0 Upgrade Features-Quickly
If you use your Apple TV (ATV) exclusively for Boxee, such as I, you’re most likely oblivious to the functionality of the Apple TV home screen. Personally, I could care less what stock ATV functions do as most of them cost money or severely handicap the integration of your own media content.

This post provides info on FTP backups for Windows Home Server using Handy Backup as a service. Below is an article I originally developed and posted back in 2007 on the MS Windows Home Server blog. Many people find this a great alternative to a paid backup service specifically designed for complete WHS or large file backups.

Maximum PC published a fantastic article entitled, “Build a Kick-Ass Windows Home Server.” This large, 8 page article covers the gauntlet of Windows Home Server building, practical use, and essential add-ins.
The article covers the actual parts list they chose as well as the installation. Something that is good for the newbie PC builder and a good refresher for the well versed. They also discuss WHS Console functionality and their Top 5 add-ins (Advanced Admin Console, Disk Management, Web Folders 4 WHS, Photo Sync, and My Movies). Personally, I could not live without Advanced Admin Console and Disk Management add-ins. I luv those two add-ins and I set them up on every WHS I build for friends and customers. I’m definitely interested in the My Movies add-in. I’ll have to check that one out soon and report back.
Maximum PC even covers the modification of the WHS swap file for performance gains, the use of Sync Toy (which I’ve never used…yeah, I know), and third party software to transcode HD TV files.
I’ve read a lot of lame WHS articles, but this one was very informative. Even after all the WHS Beta testing I did in the early days, I learned a few new tricks.

What is Google Waive? Here is a pretty hip two minute video that gives quick and dirty explanation of what Google Wave can do.
OK. OK. So you’ve heard about Google Wave. Maybe even tried to sit through that crappy Google Wave video they put out a few months back. I personally turned it off in 6o seconds! (more…)
