Mozilla Labs - Ubiquity
Mark posted this on Sep 3rd 2008 under Technology
Mozilla Labs introduced an interesting approach to connecting the web to language. It seems similar to the concept of mashups, but allows for this to happen without having to write any code (mashups for the masses, so to speak). This is a very early prototype and does seem to have some user interface issues. If you experiment with it, I would be interested in your observations and comments. More details can be found at Mozilla Labs (Ubiquity).
Google releases a browser

For those who haven’t yet heard the news - Google has released a browser - Google Chrome. Details can be found at http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html
I would be interested in your thoughts regarding this browser (it seems to be based on WebKit with bits of Firefox). WebKit is baed on open source software and was the foundation for the OS X Safari browser in Apple Macs. Google also has a comic book explaining this browser.
Photosynth released

Photosynth - http://photosynth.net/ is an interesting concept. If you have ever used PhotoShop to stitch multiple images together, you may appreciate this tool. Although most of the processing is done on the client side, you need to upload the photos to a MS server. I believe you do get 20 GB of storage for free. Let me know if you try out this tool.
