Apple introduced custom domain names for iCloud email in August of 2021 (I think, but feel free to correct me and I’ll correct this). The easiest way to set this up is probably to just obtain the domain name through Apple. You can also use iCloud Email for custom domains purchased through other registrars. The setup is fairly straight-forward, provided DNS is setup correctly (or that a large-enough DNS host is used that Apple has wired it up to their API to do it for you). To get started, login to iCloud. Then click on the apps selector at the top of the screen and click on Custom Email Domain.…

Gmail + IE6
Got an email today informing me that Gmail will be dropping support for Internet Explorer 6. Nice of them to let us know rather than randomly killing support for it ’cause it’s old as crap like most vendors do. A win for Google there I’d say. Point of this article being, if you use IE 6 just stop. And if you’re an enterprise admin who doesn’t think you can pull off a massive IE 6 upgrade, this is Google’s way of having an intervention for ya’… MSI installer + a GPO = happier users anyway (be that MSI a newer IE 6, Chrome, Firefox or Safari). PS – Over 5%…

iPhone and GroupWise
There is no built-in support for GroupWise on the iPhone. Apple supports a number of other services, but GroupWise has not been high on the priority list and honestly, I don’t know that it would be high on mine either… Having said that, it did pop up on my radar and I was able to find a couple of ways to achieve a good sync. The first is Entourage. You can use Entourage as a conduit to then grab information and sync it with GroupWise. This has a hopefully obvious disadvantage, which is that it does not synchronize wirelessly – you have to cradle sync to get the data onto…

Google Mail adds ActiveSync
Exchange/iPhone users, you’ve finally gotten the Google hookup. ActiveSync has been added to the Google repertoire allowing gmail users to sync their contacts and calendars in the same fashion that Exchange and Kerio users can, although mail will still need to go through IMAP, which is fairly straight forward to configure. This means that Google Mail is finally in serious competition with a few other players in the messaging market. At this point, Google has finally knocked down one of the serious barriers I had with gmail adoption for companies. I am glad to see that they realize (and I’m sure have realized but just got the kinks worked out)…

The Seven Wonders of the Internet World
The Google Search Engine is probably the top wonder in the Internet world. Why, because it’s just so friggin’ huge! But, also because it involves Google Maps, is integrated with gMail and well, is just a better engine than the other’s. Wikipedia – and don’t forget specialty wiki’s like http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page or even (as depressing as it may be) the wikia 90210 page. Social Networks – Facebook, MySpace, Classmates.com and LinkedIn – oh and digg and delicious too… Social networks are today’s iteration of what we thought virtual reality would be. They get better every year, with the exception of New Facebook, which isn’t actually as cool IMO as old Facebook.…
