The Oracle Google Android lawsuit

I read that the lawsuit that Oracle has done against Google for using Java in the Android operating system demanding $6 billons. That is alot of money. But I also read that Google has bought 1000 patents from IBM and that sale had gone thru recently.

I'll bet that one or more of these 1000 patents is going to be used to do a counter lawsuit that will block the use of Oracles database engines. So Oracle will be forced to drop the lawsuit.

Apple has also done a lawsuite that is blocking Samsung for selling Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and the US.

I understand that someone wants to get payed for the development they have done, but this is getting ridiculous!!!

Where would we be if all companies where working like this all the time?

The death of social media

Now Goggle + is here and we have twitter, Facebook, Connections. In all this places people post information. The information is not marked in any way so Personal, Hobbies and work stuff is mashed together in a huge mass.

People gets overloaded with information that they don't want/need to know. I belive the information needs to be filtered. Lets say you have 300 friends that posts 3 posts on facebook every week. That's 900 posts a week. thats more than 100 posts per day. If you then also have friends on G+ and twitter that you follow and they might do double posts how much information do you need to read then. And with some people you want to read about work stuff and other you want to read information about their family. If you are following people globally they perhaps are doing posts in several languages and you are interested in the english posts.

I think that people will stop using these things if the information can't filtered.

That is what I think, what do you think?

How to create a notes plugin

I have done some reseach to setup a plugin dev environment but it requires eclipse 3.4.2 gaymede and that can't be downloaded from eclipse.org anymore. Anybody know where to Find this for win32?

A response to Bill's post

Lotus has a stamp of being old. I have eared this so many times Lotus Notes is that still updating?
I believe there is several reasons to this problem.

1. Marketing of the Lotus platform

2. IT departments hasn't updated their Lotus software, why hasn't this been done?
Cost, Can't see the need to update not that many new functions.

3. The domino designer got free to late

I think that all of the above reasons combined has been reasons why the Lotus platform has and still is loosing customers.

IBM and the Lotus community need to show what can be done with Lotus Notes and that new versions do exists and what they can do.
The openntf och xpages sites are good but there will also be a need for ads/ videos / blogposts about how companies solved their problems using Lotus Notes.

Perhaps someone should announce a video competition for marketing videos.

Lotus Notes is a platform for the future!!

Redirector Custom Control for xpages is released

My first addition to openntf.org is released today

Redirector

The redirector helps you to send the users to other XPages if conditions is meet or not

i.e The user doesn't have the admin role, redirect!!

the user is using firefox, redirect!!

an IPad, redirect!!

User is not Editor, redirect!!

It's nothing special with this Custom control, just that it's reusable code as it should be. You don't need to rebuild redirect code for you admin interface, special functions. Just add the redirector to your XPage.

Deploying traveler with ssl

A short post with some field observations if you are going to deploy traveler.

If you are going to use ssl get a real ssl certificate. Then you will not get any problems with devices not being able to connect.

Get a separate ip adress and dns name for the traveler server.


If the above thinks are done then you shouldn't have any problems ;-)
