I’m not sure how many people have picked up on an announcement that Google made last week, but it definitely caught the attention of my dev team. (For those that may be new to this blog, I work for a company that offers Hosted Exchange and Hosted OCS services.)
Here’s the announcement.
Google has developed a way to help companies move onto Google Apps–and away from Microsoft’s Exchange e-mail software–without forcing a migration to the Gmail user interface.

The day is finally here…DTV is now the standard!
There was so much build up and ads for the first attempted conversion that the actual conversion seems like a non event. If CNN hadn’t put up the following article, I honestly would have forgotten that it was happening.

Comcast has me scratching my head. A friend of mine pointed out the following post on the Comcast goofiness.
