IPv6 killer applications

Earlier today the Greek IPv6 Task Force held a meeting. Among other things discussed, there was the perception that there has not yet appeared the “killer application” that will make us abandon IPv4 and switch to IPv6. I have been messing with IPv6 on and off for the last 10+ years and I keep hearing this, when it is evident that the killer application already exists:

IPv4 address space shortage!

This is the killer application and this need will drive the change. IPv6 brings along a ton of nice things, but none of them can make us switch. For if it did, we would already have switched.

Check your Gmail

Interesting to observe how sometimes the tech jargon evolves: For years I would tell (or SMS text) friends and colleagues “check your email” whenever there was need to check their email faster than they normally do. Lately I find myself replacing the phrase with “check your gmail”.

Adamo

Εδώ και ένα μήνα, το έχω λάβει με email, στο twitter, σε σχόλια στο blog. Ναι το ξέρω πως η Dell ονομάζει τα νέα της laptop ADAMO.

Σας ευχαριστώ όλους για την ενημέρωση και τα πειράγματα.

Υ.Γ. Στα λατινικά, adamo σημαίνει to fall in love with, find pleasure in.

Which desktop manager do you use more often ?
xfce
Which desktop application you would not like to see implemented again on linux? And why?
Something that tries to offer the functionality of, and even more troubles than, Microsoft Exchange. Not a desktop application, but this is what I do not want to see again.
Which desktop application you definitely would like to see implemented on linux? Describe it briefly or point out to a similar application.
Microsoft Excel. The original one.
Write the name of the last project (not the very best, the last!) that made you wish to thank their developers so you can thank them now!

I tag Panagiotis, Hermes and Vaggelis.
