Can you spot the ThinkPad?

(Jun 25 2008 09:53 GMT)
Seems like only Vladimir was able to afford a ThinkPad. All others had to got with their Apple brand notebooks :-)

When did IBM start to timebomb Notes/Domino trial kits?

(Jun 25 2008 08:13 GMT)
In a way, Lotus is just getting more aligned with IBM. All their other trial software is time-bombed as well.

What's the Notes market share really like?

There is a list of these top companies on: http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/List_of_companies_by_ See if you come to more than 29 companies from the top 100 on this list that use Lotus Notes for email.

OpenStreetMap is the "Wikipedia of maps". Why have Wikipedia when there are so many other established encyclopedias out there? Same goes for OpenStreetMap.

I just don’t believe in time-bombing software, full stop. It’s counter-productive Those who want to be cheap / illegal and steal software will do so anyway. For everyone else, the software should just get out of their way and let them use it.

Ah OK, I thought the street maps themselves would be complete, and that we just had to add the other data. Seems weird given the mount of mapping data out there already.

Is that self promotion? :-) I find this wiki to be quite comprehensive.

That red/pink finish is just ghastly...

I thought this was about trial rather than beta code? Anyway, I've always found Passport to be fine for getting up-to-date release code although admit to holding back on most versions for a few weeks to let the dust settle. I'm a customer rather than BP so I can't comment ...

Having worked for IBM I can tell you what I "discovered". 1. IBM is a bureaucracy, you should read this book - http://www. amazon.

When did IBM start to timebomb Notes/Domino trial kits?

(Jun 25 2008 01:27 GMT)
This is non-trivial... there've been times when the last beta has actually been more suitable for production use than the timed gold code. And as I've griped about for years, getting current media from IBM through Piss-Poor Advantage is only slightly easier than getting the President's Mansion away from Robert ...

Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.1 Update

(Jun 25 2008 01:21 GMT)
Does anyone actually still USE MS Office for Mac? I've been on NeoOffice so long I can't remember what MS still looks like. I even used NeoOffice to correct a problem OfficeXP couldn't deal with...

In truth if we're going to question numbers, who is to say we should believe or dismiss either IBM or Microsoft's claims? After all Microsoft and Jim have just as much reason to use fuzzy math to come up with a number as IBM does. And honestly the Sharepoint numbers ...

(Jun 25 2008 00:08 GMT)
So IBM only needs to name more than 16 Fortune 500 companies that at least in parts use Notes for mail to prove that Jim Bernardo is wrong? Is there really such a big secret what mail system a Fortune 100 runs? I mean both products by default are tagging ...

"Inspired" to the point of matching the iPod's lack of Ogg Vorbis support. Not impressed.

Oh come on, who would use trial software in a production setting??? I downloaded the trial of Notes 5 when it first came out and tried it for a few days fully expecting it to expire...all of the other trial software I've ever played with has. Beat up IBM about ...

It actually got a rather favourable review at The Reg: http://www. reghardware. co.

Quote of the day

(Jun 24 2008 21:22 GMT)
Many of the comments I read on The Register's site to the story seem to be against Salesforce.com. The quote in the article from their CIO on Notes/Domino losing favor seems to be one taken from the Microsoft playbook, but it's interesting that they say Salesforce.com uses Google Apps/Mail etc. ...

Ben and Frank, it's everybody's task to complete the maps in his neighborhood. It's easy and actually quite some fun. You need a GPS which can write a track. Almost all GPS handheld devices can do that. I just used a Nokia phone with Sports Tracker.

Could one make use of the iPhone's A-GPS to create or complete these maps? I'm still looking for excuses to get one... ;-)

@Carl, true .. but it was not FileShare 2.0 ... don't get me wrong, I think SP has legs and is being used everywhere, but the majority of implementations is a replacement for the networking file share with some company branding around it. That will change with time, and some ...
