Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
What are you most likely to store on a home server? For most people, digital photos are probably high on the list. They tend to be a family resource rather then personal data, they take up a lot of space, you probably don't use them particularly frequently, but it's a pain to transfer the collection whenever you buy a new computer.
Another thing about photos is that they are irreplaceable.
So Microsoft's warning that saving a file to Windows Home Server from Vista Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery may result in corrupted data is a significant cause for concern.
According to the company, the problem surfaces when a home server is under an extreme load (eg, lots of files are being copied to it), and a user edits files already saved in a shared folder on the server using Windows Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, OneNote 2003 or 2007, Outlook 2007, Money 2007, or SyncToy 2.0 Beta. Certain non-Microsoft programs may also trigger the bug: Microsoft mentions user reports of issues with Quicken and QuickBooks, as well as unspecified torrent applications.
Until a fix is delivered, Microsoft's recommendation is that users "do not use the programs that are listed in this article to save or to edit program-specific files that are stored on a Windows Home Server-based system. You can still use the Windows Home Server home computer backup to back up and restore files from and to your home computers."
