Windows Home Servers are great. Really, they are. I have been running a box that I built myself out of an old AMD Athlon XP 1900+ for almost a year and half now with zero complaints. It seems a guy on Microsoft's forum site has managed to convert his Thecus N5200 NAS into a WHS. This hack isn't super easy, but if you have a NAS laying around and don't want to drop the cake on a pre-built WHS, it might be worth trying for a step up in functionality.Via CrunchGear - 7 months 17 days ago

If I didn't know better, I might think that the Zune team was trying to create a buzz. The ZuneHD peek-a-boo show continues, with some rather drool-inducing specs being thrown around. Apparently Microsoft has confirmed a few, probably by not saying they won't be in the unannounced device. Off the record. But anyway, Tegra? Check. OLED? Check. Xbox 360 integration? Maybe-check. Here's what the latest rumors are putting inside this cryptogadget.Via CrunchGear - 7 months 17 days ago

Chris German, Chief Scientist for Deep Submergence at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution here in Massachusetts, has been busy finding undersea volcanoes with the help of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). With more than half the planet?s water exceeding depths of two miles, mapping the sea floor is no easy [...]Via CrunchGear - 7 months 17 days ago

The Lenovo S9 and S10 have already been approved by the FCC, so the appearance of this mysterious nine-inch Lenovo netbook in Uncle Sam's all-knowing database is certainly thought-provoking -- especially since it's got a built-in AT&T-compatible 3G card in it. That suggests to us that Ma Bell's about to start offering a subsidized S9 alongside its current stable of laptops, but we haven't seen or heard anything definitive yet -- do let us know if you spot something amazing in the SAR...Via Engadget - 7 months 17 days ago

When one gamer's Xbox 360 went RRoD, he didn't just give up. Instead, he gutted the system and transformed his dead Xbox 360 into a functioning arcade stick. Keep fighting the good fight, Seppun....Via Gizmodo - 7 months 17 days ago

With NAB just about to get started in Las Vegas, RED is getting out ahead of the crowd with a newfangled adapter sure to please those who find themselves offloading gobs of footage. The R2E LEMO to eSATA cable essentially takes the burden away from your FireWire 800, FireWire 400 or USB 2.0 bus by enabling bits and bytes to flow over eSATA. RED camera users simply plug in their RED-Drive or RED-RAM using the original power adapter, then plug the...Via Engadget HD - 7 months 17 days ago -

Wait a second -- isn't wireless USB, um, deceased? Regardless of what pundits and the industry at large have said (via words, actions, or otherwise), Wisair is absolutely refusing to give up the dream. To that end, the firm has teamed with peripheral mainstay Atlona in order to develop and produce a wireless USB to HDMI adapter. Much like the wired AT-HDPiX, the May-bound AT-HDAiR enables users to connect any USB-enabled computer to any HDTV...Via Engadget HD - 7 months 17 days ago -
Short cables are great! Less clutter and the same functionality. This 10 pack of 3-foot HDMI cables could be mighty handy for an A/V setup as long as the devices will stay in the same place - say, on a rack. However, if you have to pull the equipment out to access the backpanel, buy longer cables so you don't have to unplug cables constantly.Via CrunchGear - 7 months 17 days ago

I'm not sure whether that headline sounds more like an extremely rude dismissal or a terrifying bedroom practice. Either way it's not accurate — I meant it literally, at least if you can consider a bowl to be a town for broth. This crazy kitchen doodad for kids and noodle enthusiasts fires your noodles out of a little noodle house, which then travel down a slide to a tiny bowl at the bottom. It's battery-powered and utterly insane.Via CrunchGear - 7 months 17 days ago
