The term Server used to be associated with only corporate Information Technology setup. Microsoft has brought the capabilities of a server to home users now with their Windows Home Server (WHS). Though this was introduced over 2 years ago, not many people have adopted this wonderful technology. Microsoft has now increased its focus on marketing this product.

Some of the key features of WHS are as below:

1.       Backup & Restore

Windows Home Server makes it easy to backup your data and applications and then restore them with some simple steps. It takes image based backups that can be programmed to perform backup action every day. Since the backup is not stored locally, you can recover your computer even if the hard drive is physically damaged. The recovery feature allows users to restore specific files or complete system which provides enough flexibility and confidence to users to carry on their day to day tasks on their machines easily and without any fear of data loss.

2.       Networking

WHS ensures that your home network remains healthy by constantly monitoring the defined network. You can even ensure that the anti-virus software is updated on all computers on your home network. It also incorporates a firewall that you can utilize to secure information on your network. You can be rest assured that no one can access your medical files or your banking information from your computers/network.

3.       Ease of Storage  Read more...

Creating a start of the art home can mean many different things to many people. However, The Joseph Rowntree Foundation did a study of the market potential for Smart Homes (state of the art homes) and came up with this helpful definition:-

“Smart Homes use electronic networking technology to integrate the various devices and appliances found in almost all homes, plus building environment systems more common in factories and offices, so that an entire home can be controlled centrally or remotely as a single machine. This technology offers the prospect of significant improvements in the living standards of older, sick and disabled people who, without automated domestic activities, might otherwise be totally reliant on home care.”

Their study shows that most people wanted a smart home to help with security and safety, access their home and items in it remotely and because it should save people time and money:-

Following the generally bad press that gift cards received during the holiday season of 2008, a number of retailers have come together to form the Retail Gift Card Association (RGCA), with the aim of building a positive image of closed-loop gift cards. Members of the Association include Best Buy, Subway, Wal-Mart Stores, Home Depot, Kohl’s, Limited Brands, Nike, Applebee’s and Marriott International. This is a good development and consumers will be the ultimate beneficiaries.

However, for this to work, the association must address the reasons underlying the bad publicity they got from the media, legislators and consumer groups. One of the main issues has to do with bankruptcy. As the economy gets worse, more retailers are going bankrupt and there is no uniform standard regarding what happens to outstanding gift cards when a retailer goes bankrupt (whether it is Chapter 7 or 11 bankruptcy).

For example, when the Sharper image went bankrupt in 2008, they initially refused to honor gift cards. After pressure from consumer groups and some state Attorney Generals, the company relented, but only allowed customers to redeem part of their gift cards. Similarly, when the Bombay Company went bankrupt in late 2007, they refused to honor gift cards. Gift card holders had to file a claim with the bankruptcy court and were only able to get 25 cents on the dollar.  Read more...
