Back on August 2010, I made a prediction: desktop PCs have an expiration date, and that time may not be far off. I followed-up that article with several more editorials that contained plenty of truth, but our readers commented in revolt. Even some of my industry peers said I was pessimistic, and that the enthusiast desktop PC industry would continue to thrive and grow. I later predicted key points that would prove themselves essential for Intel to sustain desktop motherboard development, and now Intel has announced the end of the desktop platform - or rather a slow three-year wind-down toward an end by 2016. Here's how the desktop PC ends...

There are so many new features to DSM 3.0 that you really owe it to yourself to explore every icon. The sleek interface uses so much AJAX to the point that it runs virtually like a PC desktop, all within a web browser. One of the things I came across while exploring the Resource Monitor was that my NAS's CPU usage was constantly at 100%.
