Spanish expensive and monopoly in Internet access

This days I’m moving to a new place. Internet connection has become a commodity. I didn’t study differents options yet but I’ve been told there’s a common minimum price you couldn’t avoid. Even more, by default first year best options belongs to the former spanish monopoly Telefonica.

Worst of it isn’t those persistent provider (almost) monopoly but the cost of it. Different news and studies have prove spain Internet access is expensive and slower than in other european countries. So, again, our infrastructures (and maybe the whole industry and I+D) are yet couple a years behind the rest of Europe.

…Sometimes I do agree there must be a piece of true in those nasty acronym; pigs

How to get a fully synchronization between iPhone and Google

You may synchronice your iPhone with your Google account by following the Google instruccions. It has to be the default approach to this issue. It may seems peculiar but following Google instructions you’re going to set an Exchange account. You’ll get a full Google account sync except Notes.

I remember the first time I try it they where since I just configure my access as an Imap access.

So If you want to sync, also, your notes, let apply a trick; configure one more account but, when add this new account choose Google -not Exchange- and type the same user and password you’ve set in your former configuration. When you are able to choose what to sync, avoid Mail and Contacs and just choose Notes.

Oracle wins, IBM losses

The most important thing was: who was going to retain the control over java?… in short, IBM has let passed by a great chance.

How this has happened, there were this steps:

  1. IBM offers an insuficient amount of money uppon Sun
  2. Sun looks for some other candidate
  3. IBM brokes negotiation when they know Sun is looking for someone else
  4. …tic tac… a couple of days/weeks without news
  5. Oracle take the chance and buy Sun

So IBM has losse a great chance to keep control over java and now Oracle has to merge new bussines -such a hardware or OS-

There’re more questions, what is going to happen with MySQL, with OID versus Directory Server from Sun? How hardware is going to be managed from Oracle? … and you may keep on with all those questions, but comming back to my main thought:
Oracle: 1 | IBM: 0
