Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

Random web snippets this week:
Mozilla Lightning will be an Outlook-killer (hopefully) as it will feature the functionality of the Thunderbird mail client and the Sunbird calendaring engine. Even better, this is all cross-platform and Open Source, using open standards. You'll even be able to interact with iCal calendars as they use the open .ics file format. It's all very young though (Sunbird is still a bit basic to be honest) - version 0.1 is hoped to be out in November, but it'll be buggy :)

The Rolling Stones latest album will be the first album sold on SanDisk’s microSD ™ (TransFlash ™) card, meaning that you can get a DRM-protected flash card version instead of a CD or download. Why you'd want to do that (other than for the geek kudos) is beyond me, but there you go.
