Lotus notes and sametime
My company uses Lotus Notes for email and Sametime connect as messenger for all the internal communication. Both are stupid applications and are a big resource hogs. Most of the systems are P IV with 512 MB RAM. You just run Lotus and Sametime 7 and it eats up everything. The system moves like a 386 based machine.
Moreover, i was looking for Lotus short cuts today and found that there is no short cut in Lotus for Send/Receive mail.
At our client’s site, i have seen IBM people having kept an exe killnotes.exe on their desktop which they use to quickly exit from Lotus. What bullshit ?
Outlook/Outlook Express rocks, seriously !
iPhone in India
Ok, so all the wait is over and they have announced the iPhone prices in India. The 8 GB one will be for INR 31000 and 16 GB for 36100. What the hell ? In US its being sold for $200 which comes up to be 9000 INR at the max. And here more than 3 times. Why ? They are just trying to screw people with this iPhone tag.
Anyways, Nokia’s capture in Indian market is going to be impacted terribly. They are already into the launch of N96. Lets see how things go on.
BTW by pricing iPhone at 31k, they just lost one customer. I am not buying it
