Business these days works purely on mails. Except for the so called conventional businesses such as trading cement and pipes for construction at very low levels, emails may not be used, but anyone and everyone has got an email id, and a computer with an internet connection. The internet has become a place that has a highly growing demand for bandwidth, with the growing number of computers attached to it. Free emaiils are suitable for induviduals. Everyone provides you with a free mail box and monetizes yoru mails with their advertisments in the footer. Gmail is a bit decent, hey dont attach any ads in the mail, but you could see ads in the inbox, ads from adsense, once that are relevent to the contents of the mail. Its not just once or twice that I have clicked on the ads displayed on google, and I have returned a considerable amount of money to google for their providing me with a free mail box. Corporates dont like ads on their mails. And they cant send out mails from free mail boxes. So even if they dont have a website, they spend $10 a year to get a domain name and Continue Reading

For personal use, gmail is great. But when it comes to commercial use, when you receive 10s and 100s of mails every second to various mail boxes in your domain name? You cannot trust google apps with that. What would happen to your mails if they suspend your account. And even if they wouldn’t it is always advisable to go for your own mail server when you have huge volumes of mails being transacted, and have so many different ids on just one domain, and if you would like your mails to be private than at someone elses mercy. A mail server can be any web server that is colocated at any datacentre, installed with mail boxes and a mail server software. A mailserver doesnt usually come with apache and other web publishing or FTP provisions installed on it, as these would affect the performance of the mails. A regular Pentium 4 Mail server can be used to handle over 500000 mails per hour, while, an optreon or a core 2 quad server can send upto 10 million in an hour, and process the same amount in receiving as well. This kind of mail servers are for large companies that Continue Reading

Google has extended its hands into everything related to the web. They have a search engine which is the best in the world, they have a free mail service called gmail which is also the best, and better than most paid email services in the world, they have blogger, froogle, a translation tool, adwords, adsense etc etc etc. For desktop, the last thing I expected them to make was an OS. And that too, an OS which is a derivative of ubuntu. A completely free operating system, if distributed by google, who wouldn’t start using it? And with a team like google’s what software will not be available for this thats available on Windows? Is this the end of Microsoft? Is that Bill whom the Oracle sees in the near future begging on the streets of Redmond? gos, which is called the good OS primarily, is a product of Google and a derivative of ubuntu. Google has customized it in a great way. The Live CD has surprised me fairly. Its just a 650 MB ISO. Download it and give it a try. I will come up with more updates on this soon. The Beauty of Life is here I Continue Reading
