Recently i was browsing  Facebook when i came across this. I thought it was some kind of a joke but then i realized, why would some one like Facebook ever make a joke such as this. ( i think i was pretty much still wacked up from last night from even thinking that it might be a joke.)

If you don’t have an extra machine or are an early adopter who wants to test out Vail, creating a VM is a good choice. To complete our series of installing WHS “Vail” Beta virtually, we look at installing it on Oracle’s VirtualBox.

Note: You will need to install VirtualBox on a 64-bit Windows System that supports hardware virtualization. We’ve read some articles that you can install it on a system without Hardware Virtualization, but haven’t been able to confirm that. For best results make sure the Host computer supports Hardware Virtualization.

To check if you’re system is capable of Hardware Virtualization you can use either SecurAble or the MS Virtualization Detection Tool…both are free and easy to use utilities.

Download and Install VirtualBox

If you don’t already have the latest version of VirtualBox installed on your PC, go to the VirtualBox site and download it (link below). Installation is straight-forward choosing the defaults. During the installation select Yes to the warning about Network Interfaces.

You’ll be prompted to approve the install of the device software, click Install. Continue Reading ->

Do you want to easily stream videos from your PC to your apple device ? Here is a way to do so through Air Video.

There is a free version as well as a paid version for just $2.99, which frankly is not a lot considering what you can do with it. In the free version you are limited to viewing certain number of folders or so.

It will convert video formats that can’t be played on your device to an iPhone friendly format. It can convert the more widely used containers like mp4, MOV, AVI, MPEG, DIVX, FLV…etc. Keep in mind that DRM protected videos and Propriety codecs are not supported.

Install Air Video Server

The first thing we need to do is download and install the free Air Video Server software to your computer (link below). Install as normal accepting the defaults. Continue Reading ->
