Αδεσμοποίητος Βρογχος και Downtime.

Προ 40 περίπου ημερών δημοσιεύθηκε στο ΦΕΚ (620/Β/25-4-2007) η απόφαση της ΕΕΤΤ σχετικά με την Προσφορά Αναφοράς (RUO) του ΟΤΕ για την διάθεση LLU γραμμών. Ένα από τα σημαντικότερα σημεία του RUO, το οποίο έχω καλύψει και παλαιότερα είναι η ρύθμιση της διαδικασίας μετάβασης μεταξύ ΟΤΕ και άλλων παροχέων στις περιπτώσεις χονδρικής προς πλήρη ή […]

Microsoft Surface

Microsoft enters the multi-touch world with Surface. And what a pleasant surprise that is! The wireless interaction with objects placed on the 'table' is fantastic news and a true innovation as far as a finished product is concerned.

There is no mention of this either on the GE product page or its help centre. A potential customer would almost certainly expect this feature to be present in all three versions of the software and as such misled by the product presentation by Google.

Hellenic Reverse Directory Lookup Widget

Επειδή τυχαίνει κατα καιρούς να δέχομαι κλήσεις από αγνώστους και καθώς ο δικτυακός τόπος του τηλεφωνικού καταλόγου του ΟΤΕ δεν είναι ό,τι καλύτερο, έφτιαξα ενα Dashboard Widget ώστε να μην χρειάζεται να κάνω βόλτες στο www.whitepages.gr. Καθώς το χρησιμοποιώ αρκετά είπα να το βγάλω προς τα έξω μήπως φανεί χρήσιμο και σε άλλους έλληνες macheads. […]
