Remail: IBM is Reinventing Email

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday December 9, 2003 @03:54AM from the well-at-least-adding-some-stuff dept.

mrbarkeeper writes "IBM Research has thought about email and came up with a prototype of a better mail client. From their website: 'The Collaborative User Experience (CUE) team in IBM Research has spent nearly a decade studying email. Not only has email become one of the most pervasive and successful collaborative tools available, it has also become a key component of IBM's Lotus Software offerings. In many ways, email can be seen as a victim of its own success - users increasingly suffer from overload and interruptions as well as use email in a manner for which it was not intended.' Several ideas worth discussing, some good, some irrelevant. But still worth a gander for anyone who spends most of their day in their inbox.

Gentoo rocks. It is the greatest Lunix distro evar. I even made it play my DVD of "The Matrix"! I could never get that to work in Red Hat!

Another winter morning by Trolling+4+dollas · 2003-12-09 04:01 · Score: -1, Offtopic

This morning I awoke to find that my car was covered in a thin layer of ice. I quickly discovered that it was in fact frost and not ice as I had initially suspected. I got into the vehicle, turned the key to start the engine and went back inside to the warmth of my home. I watched the last 10 minutes of the morning news program and returned to my car. The frost layer had cleared due to the heat that was now pouring out of the vent ducts in my vehicle. I pulled out of my driveway and made my way to work.

Prevent top quoting by CodeWheeney · 2003-12-09 04:21 · Score: 1, Offtopic

Just so long as this new client prevents top quoting. Those that are detected at the act of top quoting should be subject to the activation of a stun-gun embedded in their keyboards, followed by automated photoshopping of their head onto a picture of some redneck sodomizing a goat. This picture shall replace the actual content of the email (as an attachment, damnit!) and sent to all of the intended recipients. If no recipients have yet been specified, the email shall be sent to the user's congressman.
