Sage TV on the Windows Home Server
The promise of Windows Home Server is to centralize all of your media, files, and important things in your life.

At CES 2o1o, a couple of us Home Server Show guys (Dave and I) had the opportunity to hang out with the folks from ioSafe for a demo of the almost total destruction of one of their new SSD external drives.

HP elected to staff meeting rooms instead of a larger booth presence this year. They ...
