What's wrong with Bloglines ?
Friday, March 16, 2007
I like bloglines.
But they have so many problems that today I have decided to move my OPML file to Google Reader.
And although I don't like Google Reader (sorry), I cannot take any more:
Wait ... did I say that the most troubled feeds are from YouTube and Blogger ??? Could it be that Google ..... ?? Nahhhhh, don't think evil .....
But they have so many problems that today I have decided to move my OPML file to Google Reader.
And although I don't like Google Reader (sorry), I cannot take any more:
- Reading hundred times the same posts from blogger blogs. Even mine. I am about to unsubscribe to my own blog !!
- Slow update of posts. Sometimes I see articles in Lifehacker or TechCrunch hours before they show up in bloglines.
- Useless options. I keep saying that I want the interface in English, but it changes from English to Spanish depending on the computer I use.
- Again: I have marked "read" again all my feeds from YouTube. The same 3 feeds, with the same videos, I have had to "read" them 20 times today !!! 20 !!!

Is Microsoft preparing it's own Vista Killer OS ?
Monday, March 12, 2007
The way I see it, there is simply too many people that hate Microsoft.
They hate Bill Gates, the hate Steve Ballmer, they hate the richness and corporate power that Microsoft represents. All in all, today Microsoft is the anti-cool company, and Vista the anti-cool OS.
So, instead of fighting against everybody and creating another huge PR campaign to clean this image, why not simply creating a new company in charge of creating a new cool OS ? Or two companies ? Or ten. That wouldn't be a problem for MS.
One of these companies could create a new Linux Distro, a real Ubuntu competitor. Another one could take OS/2 and remake it. Another one to take BSD or AmigaOS or AtariOS, or anything similar. And the last one could create something from scratch, maybe by absorbing a webOS like eyeOS and challenging Google itself.
The total cost of all these companies wouldn't be something MS cannot cope with. They could even be companies not officially supported by Microsoft, but free guerrilla companies to challenge the giant.
Instead of paying lawyers, paying programmers, that sounds like an idea for a software company.
But wait, how do I know that they are not doing it already ? :)
