Last week we highlighted the benefits of having a Windows Home Server, including seamless backups and system restoration. This week we’re highlighting some great add-ins for making the most of your home server.
Windows 7 only: Love Windows 7′s new and improved taskbar but wish you could fine-tune a few aspects of its functionality — like middle-click to close and other mouse behaviour? Small utility 7 Taskbar Tweaker does just that.
Windows/Mac only: Free application Orb lets you access music, video and other media stored on your computer from virtually any device (Wii, PS3, mobile phone, etc). It’s been around a while on Windows, but today it’s also available on the Mac.
Earlier in the week, we reported that the then-current build of Mac OS X 10.6.2 took away support for the Intel Atom processor, which could break Hackintosh netbooks. It turns out, though, that the newest build has re-enabled Atom support.
Gmail’s offline access feature gives you your recent messages while you’re on a plane or otherwise unconnected. Now you can get speedier offline access, or deeper archives, by customising just how long to store messages.
With the vast number of choices available to the modern consumer it’s amazing more of us aren’t paralysed by the multitude of choices before us. Having trouble choosing? It’s time to artificially limit your choices.
