TV-B-Gone in CES

Thousands of displays and a Gizmodo report with a TV-B-Gone. The best video of the CES I found so far.

Looking forward engadget reporting that Gizmodo is baned on future CES events. :-)

Update: news.com now has an update.

Shuttle introduced its $199 KPC Linux PC

Intel Celeron, 512MB, 60/80GB, no optical drive, no PCI express, but with pretty cool case. As long as it has built-in power supply, not the AC adapter bricks, I'm happy with it.

Microsoft Windows Home Server

I've been looking for a NAS with gigabit Ethernet for while. So I was little excited about Microsoft Windows Home Server announcement. The most NAS with gigabit network, 2-4 drive bays, and USB ports costs more than $500. I tried to build a Linux NAS box but I had a lot of problem with setting up removable NTFS formatted external USB hard drives. And also I couldn't find any MicroATX case that I like. The most of them are too bulky and won't fit on my desk. I was hoping that the Windows Home Server solve my problem of moving the NTFS formatted external hard drives computer to computer/NAS, but it still has same problems: expensive and bulky.

CrunchGear has a picture of Windows Home Server and some info:

HP is releasing their version in Q2 this year with a storage capacity between 500GB and 1TB. There’s also four USB ports and three extra drive bays in case ... Rumors are that it’ll be in the $500-ish zone.

Picture of Roomba running Home Server?

Engadget has picture of different model. It looks a computer. I don't think it will fit in my desk.

on10.net has video about Windows Home Server. It surely targeted for a Windows users. $500 NAS box without hardware RAID(?) but has Microsoftified VPN, better NTFS support than Linux, and some version of Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer?
