Thanks to all of you who have responded to my call for reviewers. I’m trying to get back to everyone, but if I don’t, please accept my apologies.

As I’ve been wading through the responses to my previous post, it occurred to me that there’s another way to approach this. If you’ve got an article that you’d like to write, then send me a short pitch or outline. Or even better, send me enough of the article so that I can get an idea of your writing style and see if you can grab my interest enough to make me want to read more.

Articles can be on most any networking-related topic, but our readers really like how-to’s, tutorials or short articles on solving networking problems. So if you’ve got something you’re itching to write about, send me your pitch.

And yes, we will pay you for your work!

Intel does the Right Thing

Tuesday's entry by Intel into the draft 11n market was a bit of a surprise, given its history with being late to the party with previous wireless LAN product generations. But the 11n train left the station awhile ago and Intel, like any other company wanting to stay in the WLAN game, had to get on board, draft status or not.

But aside from lending legitamacy to a technology that has so far been most notable for further decreasing the chance of an average consumer having a successful wireless networking experience, and for getting reviewers' and pundits' shorts in a knot (myself included), Intel did something else. Something that, in my opinion, they didn't play up enough in their announcement material or webcast / conference call, and that deserves special mention.

Microsoft sez: All your home files are belong to us.

In his CES keynote, Bill Gates introduced the Microsoft Home Server, but didn't provide many details. Thankfully, George Ou is also at CES and did a good drilldown with the Microsofties and spills some of the beans behind what makes the product tick.

The short story is that it is based on Windows Server 2003 R2 and has a "rich" admin GUI delivered to a Windows desktop and a not-so-fancy one for the riff-raff who choose to run another OS. Windows Server 2003 also powers some of Iomega's StorCenter Pro series NASes and they ain't cheap. And when Jim Buzbee looked at the StorCenter Pro NAS 200d/320GB with REV built-in, he found that some admin functions required dropping into Windows Remote Desktop.
