Re: The Talk2 List Eudora to go open source

2006-10-11 Thread shaun everiss

I must say that this is a shock to me.
However, I've always liked eudora for what it is.
And as long as it keeps being as accessible as it is, I'm going for it.
Thanks for this article.
I have only legally used th lite version.
Its going to be cool now eudora is going opensource though.
This does mean ofcause that it could become inaccessible, but 
depending on the licences envolved we could make our own distribution.

Qualcomm on Wednesday joined up with the Mozilla Foundation to 
announce it is transitioning

Eudora
 into an open source e-mail client that will be based upon
Thunderbird
. In turn, all future versions of Eudora will be free and Qualcomm 
will discontinue

the current paid client.
Although it may seem like Eudora is simply abandoning its e-mail 
software, which
has a small but strong following of loyal users, the company claims 
the Thunderbird-based
client will retain "Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and 
productivity enhancements."
The first release of the open source client is expected in early 
2007, at which
point Eudora will cease selling the product commercially. In the 
meantime, Eudora
will be priced at $19.95 USD and come with three incidents of 
support in a six month
period. Until today, Qualcomm sold Eudora versions for a suggested 
retail price of

as high as $49.95 USD.
Current Eudora users can choose to keep running the ad-supported 
version indefinitely
after upgrading to version 7.1 for Windows and 6.2.4 for Mac OS X, 
released last
week but announced only today. Qualcomm says it will stop displaying 
advertisements

in the client sometime early next year.
"Qualcomm has decided not to remain in the email market because it 
is not in alignment
with the core business or strategic goals," the company said. "By 
moving Eudora to
an open source product, Qualcomm can exit the Eudora business while 
still supporting
Eudora users and advancing the Eudora e-mail client at a faster pace 
than before,

through the power of the open source development community."
"We're pleased to welcome Eudora and its millions of users to the 
world of open source,"
said Frank Hecker, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation. 
"This effort should
further enrich the Thunderbird technology platform and provide users 
of both products

with an even richer email experience."
In recent months, reviewers continued to give Eudora the performance 
edge for use
with enterprise e-mail, compared against Thunderbird (though not 
against Microsoft
Outlook). However, in practice, some have noted Eudora has suffered 
limited performance

problems with recent versions,
prompting in at least one case
 suggestions that users (in this case, students) try Thunderbird instead.

Re: The Talk2 List Carphone Warehouse buying AOL UK

2006-10-11 Thread Caitlin H
It amuses me that this thing is called TalkTalk. In my early-morning-fogged 
brain, TalkTalk equates Talk2. Like, talk to the second power? Which is 
scary.

Subject: The Talk2 List Carphone Warehouse buying AOL UK


So how shit is this, a crap company gets bought by equally crap, if not 
worse company. Although I did once buy a phone from carphone warehouse and I 
had no problems, but that's mainly because once you buy a phone with them 
you don't really have to deal with them, they're there to pretty much sell 
you the phone, once you buy it from then on you're dealing with your 
provider rather than carphone warehouse. Although I was at one point 
bombarded with calls and text messages by then trying to persuade me to buy 
their stupid shitty talktalk service and their crappy not worth while phone 
insurence. It was getting bad, at one point I was getting even up to 3 
phonecalls per day, I got very angry, shouted at the idiots, it didn't get 
far, then i sent a letter threattening to report them to ofcom and I got a 
letter back telling me that I got removed from their database, finally.


Also, I know a number of people that signed up to their talktalk phone and 
broadband service and had no end of problems. For starter, everyone I know 
it took ages for service to go live and once it did, everyone apart from one 
person i know had some sort of a problem either with internet or phone 
service, or both and let's not even talk about how many people complained 
about poor customer services. They've been also featured on watchdog 
recently and  in several national newspapers articles.


So now they buy already shitty AOL, so let's see how even more crap the 
things can get?


AOL UK has 2.1 million customers
Carphone Warehouse has won the auction to buy the UK's third-largest 
internet provider, AOL UK.


BBC business editor Robert Peston said Carphone Warehouse, owner of the 
TalkTalk broadband and phone offering, was paying £370m for the operation.


AOL UK has 2.1 million customers across the country - 600,000 on dial-up and 
1.5 million with broadband connections.


Carphone Warehouse, which runs the UK's largest chain of mobile phone 
stores, first moved into broadband in April.


News of the deal saw its shares rise 5% in morning trading in London.


The acquisition is transformational for our broadband business
Carphone Warehouse boss Charles Dunstone

It will be keeping the AOL name and the US firm's policy of charging 
customers.


Carphone Warehouse is funding the acquisition through an extension of its 
existing debt facilities, and will keep AOL UK's management and 
infrastructure.



AOL UK is being sold by its American parent company Time Warner.

Under the deal, the main part of AOL will continue to manage advertising 
sales on AOL UK and also now on TalkTalk, through a revenue-sharing 
agreement.



'New revenues'

Carphone Warehouse chief executive Charles Dunstone said the deal was 
"transformational for our broadband business".



We have accelerated our customer service recruitment plans and incurred 
additional wholesale broadband costs

Charles Dunstone
"The joint development of AOL's already successful audience platform will 
bring us new advertising and content revenues in a proven and low risk 
manner,"

he added.

News of the deal came after Carphone Warehouse said strong demand for its 
existing TalkTalk broadband offer meant it was costing £20m more than 
originally

expected.

The firm has had problems dealing with what it said was "unprecedented" 
consumer reaction to the service.


The UK's largest residential internet provider is currently NTL, which has 
2.9 million home customers, followed by BT on 2.2 million.


Carphone Warehouse is now in third place.
