Digital Living
CeBIT CeBIT 2005:
Digital Lifestyle and Mobility

Solutions for a digital world - that is this year's CeBIT motto. The transformation from a trade show purely for IT decision makers to a multimedia event mirrors the current trends within the industry. Following years of focus on professional business, the private consumer again ranks high in favor with IT companies. And lo and behold: the long written off PC is celebrating its revival as media center in the living room. In this special feature on the digital lifestyle, ZDNet brings you the latest news, backgrounders, and two daily videos of the most interesting products for the digital home.

The Digital Home Toolkit


CeBIT highlights for the living room
People looking for digital home solutions should go to Hanover where companies are presenting their latest developments.


Digital Home: The PC reaches the lounge as media center
For a long time, the PC was considered to be dead. Some companies had already written it off in favor of Thin Clients. Now PC technology is experiencing a renaissance and is even spreading out into the lounge. ZDNet explains what is going on.


Power for the Digital Home: Intel's 64-bit Pentium 4 660
The Pentium 4 6xx-series sees Intel finally entering the 64-bit desktop CPU market. The new chips also offer improved power management (EIST) and memory overflow protection (XD bit).


Room for improvement: TV reception via Media Center PC
The optimal living-room PC looks good, delivers very good performance and can hardly be heard. Digital TV reception is however not yet perfect.


Security standards: Protect your wireless digital home
Only those who know WLAN security standards can configure them to optimally protect a network. ZDNet provides a current overview.
