WD, a Western Digital company, has just announced their new WD TV Play Media Player. The WD TV Play provides access to movies, TV shows and music from entertainment apps including Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, Spotify and more. It uses the latest wireless-N technology for fast streaming and no PC is required.

Last year at CES, it was all about the Ultrabook. Ultrathin and ultraportable but yet still powerful enough to be used as a capable computer, the Ultrabook was everything people wanted in a notebook. Now it seems that CES 2013 was all about the mobile all-in-one computer.

This holiday season, many people are out and about buying new Wi-Fi-enabled cameras, televisions, music players and more. Many more are buying laptops, tablets and desktop PCs, all with wired and wireless capabilities. Then these people are going home, unboxing their purchases, and waiting patiently for the wireless fairy to come down and connect everything.

When you're looking for a gift for someone less technologically inclined than yourself, you might find that choosing the right gift can be tough. How technologically disinclined are they? Are we talking just a little behind the times? A generation behind the iPad? Still using eight-track tapes?

2012 was an incredibly busy and prosperous year for Apple. We saw totally new designs for both computers and mobile devices, and updates to nearly every product line.

Many students, artists and creative professionals have a strong taste for everything Apple. The Mac computer brand is more a lifestyle than a mere product. People use Mac computers because they are configured to perform in a manner that enhances creativity.

Design and performance distinguish the latest additions to the ASUS line of routers for home or office. Whether you’re looking to upgrade the speed and coverage of your current wireless network or set up a Wi-Fi and wired network from scratch, ASUS has a model that will accommodate your needs.

Western Digital has just released its first generation of HD Dual-Band Routers: the My Net N600, My Net N750, My Net N900, My Net N900 Central (1TB), My Net N900 Central (2TB) and My Net Switch.

For broadcasters, covering events and breaking news has traditionally required significant capital investment in the form of microwave and satellite trucks. For live-event producers, it’s meant linking a camera to an expensive real-time encoder, and in turn to a fast, wired Internet connection. 

Look no further than the room where people are placing their in-home network routers to tell how they’re using them. According to a study recently released by TDG Research, in 2006 some 39.2 percent of owners reported they put the router in a home office while only 18.4 percent put one in the living room. 

The Western Digital Sentinel DX4000 is a small office storage server designed for file sharing and backing up data on as many as 25 computers. While the thought of working with a server may be daunting for novice and immediate users, setting up the Western Digital Sentinel DX4000 is simple and easy.

It’s no secret that you get more bang for the buck with a network printer, but sharing has been mainly limited to computer users. Now, anyone who carries an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet can print wirelessly to an increasing number of Wi-Fi enabled printers. 

People can’t get enough Internet these days–and neither can some devices. Many now depend on an Internet connection in order to offer full functionality. In addition to HDTVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles, there’s probably at least one can opener for sale that has an Internet port.

It may be more expensive than your router, but if you want your wireless network to go the distance, consider the High Power Wireless-N 600mW Pro Smart Repeaterfrom Amped Wireless.
