Pogoplug Biz targets business sharing with sober new chassi

, Jul 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

We were big fans of the second-gen Pogoplug when we reviewed it back in April, and now the company has outed a business-centric version, the Pogoplug Biz.  Ditching the consumer model's hot pink chassis for a more sober, black finish - after all, we wouldn't want employees thinking it was a party in the office - the Pogoplug Biz adds in file tracking stats, custom email addresses and file-sharing pages, multiple user accounts and remote backup.

Pogoplug v2 Review

, Apr 22nd 2010 Discuss [4]

Princeton University reckon they've discovered the root cause of the iPad's intermittent WiFi connection problems, and rather than a hardware fault - as many early-adopters feared - they believe it's down to how iPhone OS 3.2 handles DHCP leases.  They found that in certain circumstances the iPad doesn't renew its DHCP lease, attempting to continue using the same IP address despite whichever router assigned it no longer seeing it as valid (and, potentially, already having assigned it to a different user).

, Mar 31st 2010 Discuss [1]

Cisco have gone networking crazy today (though, given networking is their core business we're glad they're taking it seriously) with the launch of both a new consumer range of routers, the Cisco Valet series, and a "tech enthusiast" range, the Linksys E-Series.  The Valet range - which consists of the Valet and Valet Plus - prioritises ease of setup, using a USB stick onto which all of the network settings are installed, meaning you can get a new machine online simply by plugging it in once.

, Mar 23rd 2010 Discuss [2]

Just how big does an HD-capable networked media player have to be?  If you're Nationite, then the answer is "about as big as a chunky drinks coaster": their HDVP-2 networked streamer is a compact box but still manages to output 1080p Full HD from either local storage or streamed across your network.
