Microsoft, Nokia and Amazon showed Interest to acquire Blackberry

  3:20 PM    Santosh


It says a lot about the state of RIM that Amazon considered buying the floundering company, it says more that Microsoft and Nokia also considered a joint purchase, but it probably says the most that no purchase intent ever made it to the level of a serious offer.

In separate reports today the news came out that RIM had been considered for purchase this past summer. The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft and Nokia "flirted with the idea" of jointly purchasing RIM, but the idea was a fleeting one that only came up at one meeting between the executives of the three companies. Some think the idea may have even been tossed out as a joke.

[FIX] VMware vsphere 5 [ESXi 5] The operation is not allowed in the current state of the host

  1:16 PM    Santosh


Recently I faced issue while Cloning & migrating Virtual machine from ESXi 5 host to another host. I was getting "The operation is not allowed in the current state of the host" error message. This happens when an ESX host thinks it is going into maintenance mode from previuos maintanance.

To get rid of this error you need to restart the ESXi management agents as follows,
Go to VMware ESXi 5 management console -> Go to Troubleshooting options,

 Restart Management Agents as shown below.


Now try VMotion again. If you still get an above error message. Then disconnect the ESXi 5 host from Virtual Center Server and reconnect it. Try to vMotion again and it should work.

The first Android 4.0 tablet will cost 100$ and is called the MIPS Novo 7

  6:23 PM    Santosh


The NOVO7, the world’s first tablet running on the Google next-generation Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich – ICS) operating system, has been launched and its is not as expensive as some might expect.











The NOVO7 ICS tablet was recently launched in China by its makers – MIPS Technologies and Ingenic Semiconductor – for a price below $100.

MIPS will the Prime Transformer compete for who will be the first one tablet with Android 4.0 will bring to the market. Whether they do or do not fight to win, price-wise they are certainly the dominant. This manufacturer says NOVO 7 has a 7 inch tablet on the market going with Android Icecream Sandwich for only 100 $.


















Novo 7 Comes tablet comes with a 1 GHz MIPS processor, 2MP camera on the back and a camera for video calling on the front. There's even an HDMI connection and you can put in a SDcard to expand the memory.

Download Lync Server 2010 VHD (Dev)

  10:37 AM    Santosh


This download comes as a pre-configured set of VHD's. This download enables you to fully evaluate the Microsoft Lync 2010 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 developer platform including the Microsoft Lync 2010 SDK, the Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.1 as well as the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 SDK and the Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 3.0.


Evaluate Microsoft's Unified Communications and Collaboration Developer Platform today!

Microsoft Lync Server 2010 combined with Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010 delivers a powerful developer platform to efficiently build communications and collaboration applications using your .NET skills and Visual Studio 2010. This VHD topology provides a full, virtualized developer environment, with all servers preconfigured with users and data to demonstrate all relevant workloads and use scenarios. 

The topology enables developers to learn how easy it is to integrate presence and click-to-communicate and how to embed contextual conversations in your line of business applications. It provides a powerful infrastructure to build real-time notifications and alerting systems that can be multi-channel leveraging Instant Messaging, voice and video, and that can be interacting with users leveraging the natural language capabilities of the Microsoft Server Speech Platform in the Unified Communications Managed API. You can build sophisticated expert finders, both inside your enterprise as well as for business to consumer scenarios (leveraging IM-an-Expert for Microsoft Lync Server 2010), and integrate this with Lync or Web Chat, as well Interactive Voice Response applications built in managed code or VoiceXML, or automated query-response bots. Additionally you can explore the Lync 2010 SDK Visual Studio Controls in the .NET 3.5 Windows Presentation Foundation and Microsoft Silverlight 4.0, that allow easy integration of Lync 2010 client user-interface elements in your own line of business applications.

The powerful Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.1 enables developers to write applications that interact with the mailbox content, do calendaring and task and contact management.

The topology contains a Terminal Services virtual machine that has a wide range of developer samples installed and deployed from the Unified Communications Managed API 3.0 SDK, the Lync 2010 SDK and the Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.1 SDK, as well as end-to-end scenario demos shown at various events, such as:

- Microsoft Lync based contact center with web chat, speech enabled IVR, ACD, Music on Hold, etc.
- ‘Crowd sourcing’ demo using the power of the Microsoft reference application “IM an Expert”, combined with HTML based Web Chat.
- Real-time document approval demonstration leveraging presence and instant messaging based on a Lync enabled SharePoint Windows Workflow.
- Custom calendaring application, implemented in WPF, with the look and feel of Outlook, yet written in the Exchange Web Services Managed API.
- A dozen or more small quick starts from the SDKs illustrating the basic capabilities of the Microsoft Business Productivity developer platform.

The complete topology consists of 7 virtual machines that require a total 16 GB of RAM and a powerful dual core or any quadcore host machine, and up to 150 Gb of disk space for the full topology.

A minimal Unified Communications topology consisting of the DC virtual machine, the Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition virtual machine, the Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging Virtual Machine and the Terminal Services virtual machine can be run in 8 GB of RAM.


Notes:
1. This trial software is intended for evaluation purposes or proof of concept prototyping only.

2. There is no product support for this trial. You are welcome to share your trial experience with others and to ask for advice by participating in the MSDN forums of Microsoft Lync (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/uc) and Microsoft Exchange’s developer forum on Technet http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/exchangesvrdevelopment/threads/.

3. The VHD set has an initial grace period of 10 days and can be activated for up to an additional 180 days. Look for instructions on how to activate the VHDs in the video on MSDN’s Channel 9 or in the instructions copied inside the VHD package on the user’s desktop called ‘LyncServer2010_Developer_Topology_QuickStartGuide.docx’.

      Internet Explorer 9 now more popular than Chrome and Firefox Windows 7

        1:32 PM    Santosh


      Browser market share numbers are always interesting because they can be interpreted in a variety of ways. We’ve said for some time now that the thing we care about most is that the web experiences we all enjoy are getting better every day through a modern browser like Internet Explorer 9. The growth of IE9 on Windows 7 has been exciting to watch since our launch in March.


      Last month, we mentioned that IE9 was on a path to be the number one modern browser on Windows 7 worldwide.  According to Net Applications, IE9 usage share on Windows 7 worldwide is now higher than all versions of Chrome and all versions of Firefox – second only to IE8.  That’s great news for consumers and developers alike who can benefit from the richer web experiences and standards support in IE9!
