Orange and T-Mobile UK merger approved by EU:

T-mobile definitely needed to do something like to step up their game, smart move.

Finally this makes them a viable competitor to O2 (who currently seem to be leading the consumer market), and Vodaphone (who dominate the business market).

Competition can only be a good thing ultimately for consumers - better technologies emerging, and better prices.

Microsoft Outlook to Add MySpace and Facebook Integration:

Outlook has always been the defacto business software for managing emails, but given it’s strong business use is social media integration justified?
