Outlook vs. Gmail - The Definitive Comparison [Lifehacker Faceoff]

Filed under: Productivity — nando @ 10:07 pm

Comparazione ricca e minuziosa tra Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 utilizzato con Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 e Gmail versione gratuita di Google Apps.

Al di là del gioco dei punteggi, credo sia davvero difficile (ingiusto?) mettere a confronto due applicazioni in realtà molto differenti tra loro, ognuna di per sè ideale per gestire tipi differenti di workflow. Condivido la conclusione e mi ritrovo nella soluzione adottata dell’ autore: “I personally use Outlook for business correspondence and managing responsibilities, and Gmail for social media and most web activities. Some people combine their activities and choose just one email application, and that’s fine, too.”

Radiohead: In Rainbows. Altra recensione bella da leggere (da Pitchfork)

Filed under: Music — nando @ 7:00 pm

(…) it’s a very different kind of Radiohead record. Liberated from their self-imposed pressure to innovate, they sound– for the first time in ages– user-friendly; the glacial distance that characterized their previous records melted away by dollops of reverb, strings, and melody. From the inclusion and faithful rendering of longtime fan favorite “Nude” to the classic pop string accents on “Faust Arp” to the uncharacteristically relaxed “House of Cards”, Radiohead’s sudden willingness to embrace their capacity for uncomplicated beauty might be In Rainbows’ most distinguishing quality, and one of the primary reasons it’s an improvement on Hail to the Thief.
