Re: [Staffslug] Google vs Open Source

I've often thought that it would be a really good idea to have your own 'personal cloud' that can be easily installed and configured. One package could install LAMP for you, and then mail server, spam assassin, etc.. And configure it all with basic settings. Add some syncy stuff and you'd be away. I do agree with Kris though, Google's spam filter is absolutely brilliant.. I think the number of spam emails I've received is still in just double figures - and I've been using Gmail since 2005. You raise an interesting point though Kris, in Android... My current phone is Android and integrates really well with my Google account. I know an iPhone could achieve similar functionality but I dislike Apple. That's why my other phone is a Nokia N900.... Linux Phone! :D Having said that... I did dual-boot it at one point with an Android clone (NITdroid). Adam
