Steven Bink over at Bink.nu has found a rather cool feature in the Beta of Outlook 2010, adding multiple Exchange Server accounts from different organisations.
Below is a screenshot of his Outlook accounts.

When you compose a new e-mai you can specify which Exchange mailbox you can use in the same way as with POP3 and IMAP mailboxes.
Steven Bink says:
“Before Outlook 2010 you could add extra mailboxes, but only from the same organization and sent items were saved in sent items folder of the main mailbox.
Now in Outlook 2010 by default it will let you connect to 3 Exchange mailboxes maximum, in or outside default Exchange organization.
But Group Policy settings (GPO) for Outlook 2010 can change this maximum behaviour from 1 to 15 (!).”
I personally won’t use this but it’s a rather handy feature for some users with multiple Exchange Mailboxes.

On Thursday I received a Blackberry 8520 to replace my faulty 8310. The 8520 is a darn lovely phone and an improvement over 8310.
There is no longer the trackball button which is replaced with a trackpad type style of control wish is more responsive and has built in 54g Wi-Fi which one can use to have a wireless broadband connection to your company’s Blackberry Enterprise Server if you use one.
Here is a link to the 8520 specs

The 2nd Beta of the Office 2010 suite appeared on TechNet and MSDN last night.
Neowin.net is reporting that the public beta could be available this week after a tweet on the Office Twitter account, there is also a follow up post hints at possible social network integration in Outlook. This sounds interesting but I fail to see the point at present.
Those that have TechNet Plus and MSDN subscriptions feel free to download it now and have a play.
Below are a few screenshots

Bit late but here is the latest anyway. Following the experiment on PM which has received a great response from the listeners and a few suggestions. The format is here to stay.
On Friday Denis Nowlan, Network Manager of Radio 4 has announced that the new format is going to be rolled out for all of Radio 4’s weather bulletins.
This came into effect on Monday starting with the Today Programme and personally I quite like the new style. It’s allot more clearer and easier to understand. The “weather map” for the new style is posted in the previous blog post.

I’ve been an avid listener to Radio 4’s PM Programme for some time and they do take listeners views seriously.
The new weather style started after listeners commented that they don’t remember what the weather forecast was or what the weather is going to be due to the sometimes vague and general way it’s presented on the programme.
In this experiment the PM weather forecast will be presented in a “Shipping Forecast” style with distinct signposting and will follow a set order (weather permitting).
Below is the PM Programme Weather map that the presenters will follow. More information here.

Tom Warren of Neowin.net is reporting that thousands of passwords have been posted by an anonymous user of Pastebin.com on October 1st, a site commonly used to share source code. The accounts may have been collected by a phishing scam or had been hacked.
Though the details has since been removed the number of effected accounts totalled 10,027. The effected accounts started with the letters A and B but Neowin is advising users to change their passwords and security questions regardless.
Update: The phishing scam as it seems to be has now spread to Google’s GMail, AOL and Yahoo services. The number of effected accounts now totals around 20,000
