First, we have an InformationWeek article about whether Thunderbird is ready for prime-time. The short answer is "yes." It's super neat-o and you don't really need an integrated calander anyway.

Finally, Saturn's "wavemaker" moon has been found. Cassini snapped a nice candid of it on the 2nd. Somewhere, Asa Dotzler is doing a backflip.
