Microsoft Corp. today announced the release of the Microsoft Outlook 2002 Connector, a software add-in that lets IBM Lotus Domino Release 5 messaging server users use the Outlook 2002 messaging and collaboration client as an email client application. This is the first Microsoft-developed connector for Outlook and Lotus Domino. The tool represents Microsoft’s response to IBM’s iNotes, which lets users run Outlook clients on Domino servers.

TMBG says we’ll miss the major record labels when they’re gone
Music Biz: Compromise Is Key. Musicians, industry execs and policy-makers can’t always agree on the best way to keep consumers happy, embrace new technology and still turn a profit. Meeting in Washington this week, they seek solutions all sides can live with. By Michael Grebb.
John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants said although record labels are fun to bash, they help filter music. Now consumers must do much of that work themselves.
“It’s ironic that we’ll miss the majors when they are gone,” Flansburgh said. [Wired News]
Miss the major record labels? I’ve never thought of it that way.
