Not that they're more intuitive to use, have a higher quality app ecosystem, and "just work" for most people.

Can we use distributed computing to crowdsource the computation of more/better primes? Can OpenSSL look to this pool for its primes?

Where else would they blog?

Sending SMSs from Address Book was a phenomenal feature. A shame that they yanked it years ago. Good to see its return.
Re:Email, an idea so old that it's new on Tuesday April 01, 2014 @02:51PM (#7510751)
I think 8:30am is a bit late to send the news. I think a lot of people who work "traditional" hours are already up, out the door, and have made a dent in their day. I like to read the news before I get started.

I decided to build a career in academia after working as a technician for a college that afforded me the freedom to experiment with approaches to my work. Now I am an IT manager at a small state University. My boss allows me the latitude to approach projects with creative perspectives. This fall I also plan to begin teaching, and I am continuing my work towards a Master's degree. Lastly, I find the structure of academia to be such that my off time is clearly defined (at least in comparison to working for a company in private industry), and I am able to also pursue entrepreneurial ventures.

After reading so much Valley hype day after day, that was a breath of fresh air.
I wonder how many of those innovations at the time AT&T was involved in bringing to market.

Also interesting to see the analog nature of things prevalent in the ads-- how the images flicker into place on the screens.

No one in the launch group was able to see what others were charging until today. Now I'm booked.

Not whining, just giving a perspective.

I'm part of the launch group for Google Hangouts but I don't really care

I am a part of the launch group for Google Hangouts. I’m offering two at the moment, one is essentially virus and malware cleanup, and the other is consulting on moving your documents to the cloud, adopting Google Drive, and how to access your documents from anywhere. When Google told me that I would be a part of the initial launch group, I was excited. They did a hangout video chat with me,...

Agreed. Imagine if you could have other providers snap into this? It's a shame that they're hacking their way around Apple's walled garden, but a self hosted proxy server is a nifty way to add functionality to email.
Re:How do I get people to read my announcements? on Monday August 26, 2013 @06:21PM (#6280282)
Thanks for the suggestion, essentially put it in front of something they really want/need. They need to go past the announcement to get it.

How do I get people to read my announcements?

Hi all. I work at a mid-sized public university and employ roughly 40 student employees that troubleshoot tier 1 style technology issues. I regularly need to notify them of new initiatives, and ask for their feedback, among other things. In the past I have emailed them, but find that very few actually read the emails. Immediately at my disposal I have email, a group discussion board, and walkie...
