Software

We have teamed up with our friends at Tranquil PC to give away some two year subscriptions to their HomeServerSync add-in for Windows Home Server. This is the second of a number of giveaways.

So yeah, I downloaded iTunes 10 as soon as it was available earlier this week. Early adopter I am. Not such a good thing this new iTunes is. Not only is iTunes 10 just another bulky application, it no longer works with Windows Home Server. I had already upgraded when all the WHS sites started talking about the incompatibility. What’s a boy to do? Restoring was my only solution. Seriously.

Alex Kuretz, author of the fantastic and must have Windows Home Server add-in BDBB has just released an update bringing it to version 1.0.3.3.

One of the other big announcements Toshiba made here at IFA 2010 was something called Toshiba Places and something else called Toshiba Marketplace.

The guys over at the Home Server Show have released an Extra show this week (well there wasn’t a show last week!)

Yesterday Boxee released a new beta build of their software, with some new features and lots of fixes.
