There are only two ways to catch up a “market leader”:
1. the leader makes very bad decisions that eventually comes back to haunt him and leaves him vulnerable.
or
2. you buy a startup or small company that has the innovation, but lacks the resources, giving you a better possibility of catching up.
Either [...]
Some hours ago Gmail was down and everybody started to complain. Now is up and running and people are still complaining. This made me think that how can business and organizations rely on Gmail for business, if it goes down for around 6 hours as it did today.
Google today provides 99.99% of uptime for [...]

The question I have been asking myself is “where are the software companies, whose cracked software can be found on the p2p networks?”.

In: Web
13 Jan 2009Yesterday, I was looking for some information regarding the “Shrink Volume” Windows Vista utility, and found an article in Lifehacker on dual boot Vista and Windows 7.

Microsoft’s "Junk E-mail Protection Program" is Junk
In: Webmail
14 Dec 2008A couple of weeks ago, I receive an email from Microsoft asking me to “help” them fight junk mail.

In: Web
17 Sep 2008Chrome “leaked”, the early adopters download Chrome to check it out, the world gasped in amassment, apocalyptic blog posts were written regarding the dominance of Google and the threat to Microsoft and suddenly everything went back to normal (see graph 1), turning our attention to our daily lives and waiting for the next big thing).
