If you’re thinking of spreading your audio around the home, Sonos and Logitech’s Squeezebox may have been your favoured options. But perhaps it’s time to give Sony’s HomeShare system a second chance – whilst the first iteration resolutely avoided support for Apple’s AirPlay, the electronics giant has now bowed to the inevitable and built in support for Cupertino’s streaming technology.

You’ve seen the HP ProLiant MicroServer by now.

Hands On: Opti-UPS TS2250B Uninterruptible Power Supply
Many WGS readers have a strong background in computers and a great many of you are in the Information Technology (IT) field. Which means that most of you appreciate the value of a Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for always-on equipment such as a business server. This type of equipment cannot afford to lose power or lose power without a graceful shutdown of the computer in the event of an extended power loss.
While home servers may not be as critical in this regard as a business server, the same need to maintain power for short losses of power, and the ability to allow a graceful shutdown if the loss of power is longer is still a very desirable feature to have. With 2000VA of reserve battery backup power, the Opti-UPS Thunder Shield TS2250B may be just what you need for your home server.
