04.03.2008At last, a bridge between Windows Home Server and Media Center
With this week's release of Power Pack 2 for Home Server, Microsoft is filling a very important gap. Up until recently, the company had been
maintaining that the place for users to store videos and multimedia was on their Media Center computers (generally Windows Vista Ultimate-based
systems), and the place for their "everyday files" was their Home Server. But the biggest and most cumbersome "everyday files" are multimedia
files, including those that deserve to be streamed and accessed by Media Center. While setting up Media Center to include a Home Server folder as one
of its "watch folders" is one option for getting files listed, that's not as rich as setting up a streaming connection...

14.03.2009More Intel "Eaglelake" Plans Revealed
Intel guidance released its
Bearlake-family chipset this
year, first with the G33 and
P35 Express models and later
on with the G35 and X38
Express. Although Intel is
still in the process of
launching Bearlake, its latest
roadmap has further details on
its successor Eaglelake.
Eaglelake spawns the
usual P, G and Q variants for
consumer and business
platforms. The
Eaglelake-family features
support for Intel
Penryn-family, Yorkfield and
Wolfdale, and other processors
with front-side buses up to
1333 MHz. Intel continues to
equip the Eaglelake-family
with DDR3 and DDR2 memory
controllers. DDR3-1333 and
DDR2-800 is still the memory
speeds of choice with
Eaglelake. Eaglelake also
introduces PCIe 2.0 for
discrete graphics to the
mainstream with all variants.
Strangely, PCIe signaling on
the south bridge is not PCIe
2.0 compliant.
Intel
pairs the Eaglelake-family
with a new ICH10 south bridge.
Intel has put the ICH10 on a
diet. ICH10 only provides
Serial ATA, PCIe, USB and
high-definition audio
essentially legacy free. New
to the ICH10 south bridge are
FIS-based port multipliers.
Multiple SATA devices can
piggyback off a single SATA
port with FIS-based port
multipliers, without
sacrificing I/O performance. ..

29.05.2007Red Hat updates its JBoss portal environment
Major Linux and open source software distributor Red Hat today released JBoss Enterprise Portal Environment 4.3, an update designed to make it easier
for Java developers to deploy rich applications and portlets on corporate Web portals. In one new feature, the 4.3 release brings support for JBoss
Portlet Bridge, an implementation of the JSR-301 specification aimed at letting developers get JavaServer Faces (JSF), Seam and RichFaces apps up and
running quickly without concern over underlying portlet development or the API.
Portal Environment 4.3 is also the first release of the
environment to support the Portlet 2.0 (JSR-286) standard for improved management of portal-to-portal communications, caching, and the Ajax frameworks
often used for composite applications, or "business mashups," in service-oriented architectures (SOA). At the same time, Red Hat announced
that its upcoming JBoss Developer Studio 2.0 will contain portlet plug-ins and wizards geared to simplifying portal development for both Portlet 2.0
and Portlet Bridge environments...

12.02.2009D-Link Announces HD Media Streaming to TV
D-Link announced the Xtreme N
Media Bridge, capable of
wirelessly streaming
high-definition content from a
PC to an HD-capable TV, today
at the WinHEC conference in
LA. The company plans to
release the Xtreme N Media
Bridge, model number DAP1555,
in Q3 this year for under
$200. The setup uses a
pair of devices that each
looks much like a regular
wireless router, with two
antennas.
One
device connects to your home
router with an Ethernet cable,
and the other to a
TV-attached, Ethernet-capable
device such as a game console.
Microsoft demonstrated using
the Media Bridge to play a
movie in today's conference
keynote using an Xbox 360, but
D-Link says it will work with
other devices. The devices use
802.11n, and offer
Microsoft's new Rally feature
for easy network discovery and
setup in Vista.

units. Right next to the Media
