I guess I changed my mind about Ovi. It needs development but I would actually consider it the first serious cloud computing attempt by a big player.
Nokia tries to lure new customers with quite a lot of free webspace on Ovi.com. You can upload photos, videos, share data, access your own data via Ovi from anywhere… But you need a Nokia phone to use Ovi’s full potential. So if Nokia makes improvements fast, they have a great opportunity to snatch iPhone users from Apple!

[...] McDonalds ist SEHR gut vertreten in New York! Gleich um’s Eck war das erste Restaurant. Ich bin ein paar mal zum easyInternetCafe gegangen um “nach Hause zu funken”. Da war dann auch ein McDonald’s daneben – und nicht nur irgendein McDonald’s! Klick hier [...]

Comment on An Post – Overcharging! by Barney Whelan

I have spoken to the Postmistress in Gort about your complaint. She informed me that

1. The two electronic scales in the office were calibrated very recently. I am confident based on this that the scales would be more accurate than a kitchen scales. However, based on what subsequently happened in Ardrahan I will request another check of the scales in Gort PO.

2. In terms of the customer service aspect of your complaint the Post Mistress did admit that due to pressure in the lead up to the last time of posting of 3.30pm each day that sometimes the benefit of the doubt may have been given to customers in respect of the measurement of envelopes. I have asked the Post Mistress that, in future, when there is doubt with regard to the measurement of envelopes, the correct procedures must be followed by her and her staff with all customers. Otherwise the integrity of our pricing structures for the postage of items may be called in to question by customer such as you have done.

3. With regard to the second point you make; the lower cost from Germany to Ireland is because of the lower postal charges in Ireland. The largest single cost aspect for outbound international mail is the cost of delivery in the receiving country.

German domestic postal charges are higher than those in Ireland therefore it is more expensive to post from Ireland to Germany than the other way around.

If you have any further difficulties please let me know.

Comment on DTU T860 by Madonno

Kann mir nicht Vorstellen, dass sich dieses Konzept durchsetzt. Aufbauraum braucht man in dieser Klasse wohl lediglich für Ballast. Die Knicklenkung bringt das alte Raupenproblem wieder zu Tage. Dann kann man doch gleich den Case Quadtrac kaufen. Da hat man nochmal deutlich höhere Zugkraft und bessere Gewichtsverteilung bei ausgereifter Technik. Eine Alternative zum Raupenfahrwerk ist eventuell der Trisix von Fendt. Der kommt dann bodenschonend um die Kurve und hat Einzelradaufhängung für besten Bodenkontakt. Der Preis ist aber für so ein Gefährt, wenn es den produziert wird, eher astronomisch. Der DTU hat meiner Meinung nach überhaupt nichts was besser wäre als das, was bereits auf dem Markt ist.
