Yahoo! adds IMAP supports to Small Business email.

I posted a rant on my personal WordPress page on Tuesday about staying away from POP-Mail. Having to deal with a client with 14,000 emails on his Yahoo! Small Business email, I was planning to move their email services to Google Apps.

To my surprise, Yahoo Small Biz Team (@YSmallBizCare) commented on my rant.

Hi, sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with your Yahoo! services.

We thought you might like to know that due to recent upgrades, Yahoo!’s New Small Business Mail now supports IMAP configuration.

Please contact us anytime at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/contactus for assistance getting this setup.

That certainly solved the one problem I was dealing with for the past few days. I immediately added the IMAP settings (imap.mail.yahoo.com Port 993 with SSL) for the client.

If you are using Yahoo! Small Business Mail, you really wants to read this help page.

Thank You, Yahoo Small Biz Team.

The Comfort in 8GB of RAM.

A lot of computers sold in 2011 comes with 4GB of ram or higher. For most, that amount of RAM is more than enough. For the past 3 months I found out that I personally needs at minimum 8GB of RAM. I’d go for 16GB as long as it doesn’t cost too much. I can get 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for under $60 while 2x8GB SO-DIMM costs more than $800.

I set-up a Mac mini earlier today. The office requires a certain Windows-only program, so I installed Windows on Parallels. It used all the RAM it could get and used up all 4GB. I’ve just ordered 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for the Mac mini. I know it would run better with more RAM.

It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more.

The show might have been dubbed as The Big 4, but there jam should have been called The Big 5. At Yankees Stadium in Bronx, members of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Exodus performed “Overkill”, a Motorhead’s classic. Yes, Exodus member Gary Holt who is filling in for Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was on stage jamming with the other 4 bands. At the end of the song, Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante took turns on the drums. Note to Lars Ulrich, now that’s the proper way to play drum.

  • James Hetfield
  • Kirk Hammett
  • Rob Trujillo
  • Lars Ulrich
  • Kerry King
  • Dave Lombardo
  • Gary Holt
  • David Ellefson
  • Chris Broderick
  • Shawn Drover
  • Joey Belladona
  • Scott Ian
  • Rob Caggiano
  • Frank Bello
  • Charlie Benante

Not sure If I saw Dave Mustaine, Tom Araya or Jeff Hanneman.

p.s. I see my friend Willie Gee on stage again with The Big Four.

Thor, Anthrax and Dream Theater.

It is September 13th, 2011 and it’s time to spend some hard earned cash on entertainments.

As I have mentioned it before, I was planning to get new records from Anthrax and Dream Theater today. As I walked in the store I found out that Thor is also released today. There goes $50 out of my pocket.

I have yet to open any of the packages, so I won’t be doing any reviews. Then again I won’t be doing any reviews after I actually listens and watch them because I’m way too lazy.

Anthrax – Worship Music

  • New album with Joey Belladona who was out of Anthrax after Persistence of Time.
  • Anthrax played a show at Best Buy Theater in New York under the Moniker Satan’s Lounge Band on Monday September 12th, 2011.
  • Anthrax along with Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica will play The Big 4 show at Yankee’s Stadium on Wednesday September 14th, 2011 at 4:00 PM.

Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events

  • A Dramatic Turn of Events is the first Dream Theater record without founding member Mike Portnoy.
  • It is also the first with new drummer Mike Mangini.
  • Three editions are available:

Thor

  • Thor is played by Chris Hemsworth, who also played George Kirk in 2010’s Star Trek.
  • There’s Natalie Portman in it.
  • I have not watched the movie yet, not even in the theater.
  • Three editions of the movie are sold in most stores.
