suraj.sun writes "It's the same old story: young woman quits, uses dry erase board and series of pictures to let entire office know the boss is a sexist pig, exposes his love of playing FarmVille during work hours." Story seem too good to be true? It probably is, at least according to writer Peter Kafka. Even so, Jay Leno and Good Morning America have already reached out to "Jenny."

Jelmer Vernooij writes "After three years of hard work, the OpenChange project has released a first version of their project, which implements MAPI, the protocol used natively by Microsofts' Exchange server. Their initial release contains a simple command-line tool for fetching and sending email from an Exchange server. Work is also on its way to build a native drop-in replacement of Exchange server, without requiring additional client plugins, as well as improvements to the client to support fetching and changing remote tasks, address books and calendars. An online demonstration of the release and its testing tools is also available."

It's analog broadcasting that's been killed, not cable. The number of people that rely on analog broadcasting was already very low and they'll just get cable with their current tv or perhaps digital through a converter box.
