Re: Top 10 Reasons Not To Buy A Macbook Pro — Elliott C. Back

Have you ever used a MacBook Pro? Seriously, when you try it, you'll never look back. I switched two years ago and discovered a new world.

Re: It’s Time for a Viable Business Model

luca — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:04:29 -0000

Sergio, VC are mainly driven by a clear goal: making money. Think of this: they invest in 10 companies but they already know that they will get back, hopefully, 10 (not a great deal) to 100 (not bad) times the amount they invested by selling one or two of those companies. The other 8 shut down. So the market will tell them they have been wrong 8 times but one or two of the companies they investe in were worth the risk. And they will go on acting this way. It works.

@arashidori I'm actually an Apple fanboy, but I have always owned Nokia phones. I haven't tried the Nokia yet, but in terms of voice quality, I can bet Nokia is better, as you confirm. Let's look at the market share in 1 year time, the market is the only judge.

Hi Khaw, thanks for stopping by. I will definitely test it out very soon and write a comprehensive review. My comments, right now, are based on what I got from your website and, at this time, it's really far from what other players are offering already.
I'll try it out very soon and post an update here too.
Thanks you, Luca

Re: $6.5 Million in Cash ?

luca — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:06:42 -0000

Yes, Magic Jack is the other service, in my knowledge, that uses the same approach. A possible way to see this deal is that Sinon Data wants to hire a bunch of big lawyers to sue some VoIP players.

@skumpic where did you read that I didn't know this? I knew this, that's the reason why I bought an iPhone only instead of two, because my wife uses Wind that works perfectly and I had to wait for the 3G one since my business SIM is a three one and I cannot stay without it. Read better next time ;-)

Re: Adobe on Apple Aperture

luca — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:56:21 -0000

I said it's ONE OF THE REASONS. It's clear that you make your choice according to what you need and what can REALLY offer you all the features you are looking for.

In addition, there are also other components like speed and so on. Both apps are fantastic, I've been using Aperture for a while and what led me to switch to Lightroom is described here: http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/2007/12/aperture-...

I will give Aperture another try, but I am not willing to move from one to another continuously :-) In addition, I found great LR manuals from professional photographers, something more difficult to find (the good ones) for Aperture.

Re: Create a Twitter-like service in 45 minutes

luca — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:41:09 -0000

@David Yes, it's not really apples to apples, but by installing the proper WP plugins, you can do much more. Moreover, there are plugins that let you customize the service more and do also what Aswath is mentioning here.

@Aswath I received the email about your subscribtion. In regards of what you say, I'll look into this to find the proper WP plugins to do that.

Re: Create a Twitter-like service in 45 minutes

luca — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:32:16 -0000

I know :-) But Twits or Tweets is also widely used to refer to both twitter users or the short messages posted on Twitter. Anyway, it's just a useless example to play with.

Re: PhoneFromHere.com: me too?

luca — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 04:46:46 -0000

Tim, thanks for getting back to me here. I don't really mean from the technological point of view, but from the business and user experience standpoint. My company, and many other companies, have developed this technology (with phone, without phone, in java, with activex, for browsers etc.) years ago and improved during the past years. What about your business model? It's all about how you are going to use your services. Social networks are a great target (here is my presentation at VON 2006 about web voip for social networks http://www.slideshare.net/filosnet/von-2006-ind...) but what about making money? Are you going to do what Jangl, to name one, is already doing very well?

Re: eComm - Are SMS reliable?

luca — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 04:08:42 -0000

Blaine, thank you for sharing your point of view here. I think that reliability of SMS in italy is evident, as well as in any other part of Europe (to my knowledge, in any EU contry), even for country to country SMS traffic. But, I agree with you, I already noticed that it is much different in the US. In particular if you have to connect to global wholesale SMS providers that use don't use the most reliable channels to deliver them. But, I can assure you, SMS has been and still is one of the biggest success in Europe in the field of mobile communications. Ciao

Re: VoIP services compared: Jajah Direct, Mobivox, RebTel, Talkster, WifiMobile

luca — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:18:41 -0000

Robert, this is not a general review of VoIP services, but a review of services that could solve the use-case problem I mentioned at the beginning of the post. So I'm not stating here, let's say, that Rebtel is better than Jajah or that Mobivox is worse than Talkster etc., but I just compared those services in terms of what I needed. Jajah has many features that were not considered and I didn't consider services like Skype that couldn't solve my problem.

Re: VoIP services compared: Jajah Direct, Mobivox, RebTel, Talkster, WifiMobile

luca — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:33:49 -0000

I know that Aperture is not written with Cocoa, but I read about professional photographers using a 3Ghz Mac Pro that still experienced an increased speed. I'm not a PRO, so for me a new hw is not worth it. I'm now using Lightroom and think it's the right choice for getting better performances.

Re: Universal and group-based presence and status messages

luca — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:47:41 -0000

Aswath, I never used Yahoo IM neither MSN, but I use their networks in other clients. If this is a network capability, it's a very good thing which I was not aware of, if instead it's only a proprietary client to client feature, it's not enough. I'll try Yahoo on my mac and see if they provide what I mean. Thanks

Dennis I think you are right. I'm now using a T-Mobile SIM card and it works much better. I was surely using 1900 with AT&T; and with higher frequency indoor coverage is really bad too.

Re: AT&T mobile really sucks

luca — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:32:40 -0000

no, I was using my italian SIM. In most indoors places it was not working fine and I think the problem was the 1900, since to higher frequencies correspond worse indoor coverage.

The cubic telecom website will be up and running soon and I'm pretty sure that those phones will be available as promised. Anyway, the Pirelli phone is not mandatory to use maxroam, any other phone works. If dual mode, even better.

Re: FREE Wifi network available in a pub.. open!

If someone goes to that bar and downloads pedo-pornographic content, the bar owner goes to jail. That's the problem, it's not only a matter of terrorists.

luca — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:30:06 -0000

I don't always need a social network. I like Linkedin and Plaxo, they are useful and they offer me a real benefit. I use it a lot of times. With Facebook, I can do so many things... but I don't have time to. I even don't like too many messages coming from there. In addition, I dont' want to spend time recreating my list of friends etc. In a few words: not enough time for so many social networks.

Fernando, mi spiace ma non accettano registrazioni da fuori gli USA. Il sistema non ti fa registrare in quanto vede che il tuo IP non è americano. Sorry.

Definitely not. 3G video telephony have been a failure in italy. I wrote an article a few months ago opening an interesting discussion around the blogsphere (has been picked by Techmeme too). Here is the link:

I agree, as said on my post, the translation is far from being good, but you can get the meaning of the post very well. That's the purpose of this plugin I think.

Re: Free Calls Time: Jajah

luca — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:34:10 -0000

Moshe,
I totally agree with you. Mobile phones are the most effective ways to place phone calls. If Jajah could bring their services to those phones through an IVR-based system, it would be great. The problem is that no advertising there...

Re: iPhone vs Nokia N95

luca — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 10:33:39 -0000

Kris, I got your point. I don't have an iphone myself, so I cannot really give my thoughts. Comparing the two phones, we get that the N95 has much more features. But, I think that you're right on usability.

Re: iPhone vs Nokia N95

luca — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 21:52:46 -0000

Robelto, were you able to use the iphone with one hand only ? Like dialing a number or sending an SMS ? I think this is important, since sometimes you are not able to use both hands to manage your mobile phone.

Re: iPhone vs Nokia N95

luca — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 20:16:49 -0000

I agree with you Jorge. Apple usually doesn't protect their customers. They launch a new product and an upgrade a few months after. Think of the Apple TV: a first model for $299 with only 40GB hdd, then, two months later, a 160GB version for $399. Why not at the same time? For iPhone I'm pretty sure to see the same story.

Re: New Firefox and Thunderird VoIP extensions available

Jonathan, currently only the Firefox extension is open and you can use any VoIP provider on it, not the TB one.

Re: N73, N93, N80i: which is for you ?

luca — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 20:24:42 -0000

It's just a matter of firmware, so in terms of the software installed. Take a look into the application folder... you should find a couple of applications like Flickr and Gizmo project.

Re: Paul Graham on the Web 2.0 bubble

luca — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 07:36:21 -0000

I agree with Paul. It's a matter of amount of investments There are a lot of VC investing money, but all of them are investing in something you can "touch with your hands" and most of them in services/applications which people are using. The problem, to me, is that not always you can find a business model which works. So, maybe you can find someone who is willing to pay (a big company ?) so you can sell to that company, but not always you find people who are willing to pay for the service you are offering.

Mathew,
the only big, big, big, problem with digg is its useless banning engine.
I hope they'll solve this problem soon. It seems that sending emails to them is completely useless. Here's my last post on this:

Re: Seesmic: Still don’t really get it

luca — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:47:48 -0000

While I'm for video services as a new way to broadcast yourself and tell the world what you want to, at the same time I agree that video is not for everyone. My only concern is about the amount of money. I shared my thoughts here http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/2008/02/are-web-2...,
I only think that you can do much more with much less.

Re: Seesmic and Twhirl: Why all the fuss?

luca — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:19:30 -0000

The point is another one. It's pretty common that a news hits the top of Techmeme NOT because the news itself, but because there is a "popular" person that does something, even if this "something" is nothing special. Instead of paying a developer to do that, he hires who already did it. Nothing special actually, but I learnt that news are driven by people and a often a news IS important if people make it important (bloggers, journalists etc.). You are a journalist, I think I'm not telling you anything new.

Gabe, I still believe TechMeme is "THE" source of news from influencers. FriendFeed is too noisy for me, and although I use it regularly, it's far from being a source of great news.

Re: louisgray.com: TweetBeep: Twitter Keyword Alerts to Your E-mail

luca — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 15:10:16 -0000

You can do this with TweetDeck... You can create a tab which shows only tweets containing certain keywords.. you can even have one per keyword. Less intrusive, IMHO.
