How to ruin Hotmail

How to ruin Hotmail

And guess what, Microsoft has dropped DAV support for your email, now the offer POP3, which is a step backwards, at least they should have build IMAP support!!!!

But I guess is what they call innovation, like Zune, like Windows, like... well... everything.

Identifying the financial engineer

Identifying the financial engineer

Seems to me there is a clear pattern to everybody's job that also appears in your life, also could be the other way around but sure there is a lot of cross-pollination and I may abuse it in the future by making jokes about it.

IT stress

IT stress

Sounds weird but it is true, one these difficult times there is huge amount of stress in every company, and inside them, the IT department tends to have quite a lot of it as you may expect, everybody thinks these are simple things that can be done by just two friends instead of top professionals and instead of firing a bureaucrat they fire a very capable IT guy.

We do live in a weird world isn't it? Prices for the non-participants.

Software engineering

Software engineering

I keep going back to my background as software developer and I can't but see all the faults on the design of solutions like this morning on the underground where all the screens were blue (Windows) and no train information was available, clearly a problem of Q&A but hey, we live in a world of rapid prototyping rather than software engineering don't we?

It will be expensive in the long run, that is for sure.

My website

My website

Seems to me all the effort we put in our website, setting up Google Analytics and the lot... well... is just amazing yet nobody comes to visit us but then again, it is normal in this ocean of website isn´t it?

Good luck to all of you who understand me.

Office Web

Office Web

Seems everybody is jumping on the highly questionable world of the data storage on the web, what is there for you? free space? when a 4Gb USB key costs $10 why would you want to give away your data? is that how much you value it?

My suggestion, be careful and read the never-ending EULAs.

Windows 7

Windows 7

Seems like the new Windows 7 is going to have support for 256 cores, which is way unnecessary thinking how crap Windows is, anyone taking high performace systems sure don't need clippy around so I wonder who will us it.. but then again, McDonalds is a restaurant right?

Release Number

Release Number

Seems the marketing guys have got hold of it and now we don't own the release numbers.

Renderfarm strategy

Renderfarm strategy

I do understand air conditioning is nowadays a critical factor. Big data centers face the problem of space, price and cooling technologies along with enraged users asking for answers on why things don't work as they should. Should we switch of at night?

Digital Manners Policy

Digital Manners Policy

Yet another shit invention from Microsoft, as they invest their money against the user and limit and block our freedoms users will start to leave Microsoft and by the time they realize it will be far too late. This time the great idea is to be able to control the functions of any device depending where you are so if you are in the museum no photography will be allowed on your mobile for example which seems fair in a way but... have I mentioned a thing called E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N rather than policing and punishment?

DMP is bad, DRM is bad.
