Waseem Sadiq, CTO (left) and Khuram Hussain are showing me how you can send emails and messages to Twitter, Facebook, and others. It is in private beta now, will launch later this year. http://www.inbox2.com Does all sorts of useful stuff like forwarding, copying, etc. "It is really hard to build a good email client," says Sadiq. They nailed it, must try it. - Robert Scoble

Hey, it'd be nice if you invite me to try Inbox2. The 'Request Invite' feature is not working. - Dnyanesh

"It's not elegant and it's not sexy – it looks like a large photocopier – but the Espresso Book Machine is being billed as the biggest change for the literary world since Gutenberg invented the printing press more than 500 years ago and made the mass production of books possible. Launching today at Blackwell's Charing Cross Road branch in London, the machine prints and binds books on demand in five minutes, while customers wait. Signalling the end, says Blackwell, to the frustration of being told by a bookseller that a title is out of print, or not in stock, the Espresso offers access to almost half a million books, from a facsimile of Lewis Carroll's original manuscript for Alice in Wonderland to Mrs Beeton's Book of Needlework.

"If you're one of the burgeoning group of people with a Mac or PC hooked up to your TV, you're not alone in your frustration. All you want to do is stream a little Hulu to your HD set, or watch streaming Netflix without one of these. But there's a problem: you can't practically control the thing from your couch." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

. On Sept. 4, 1998, the company filed papers establishing it as a California corporation. But does it celebrate today? Actually, no. The corporate history says Google has sometimes marked Sept. 7, or Sept. 27, and a few years ago it gave up on the specifics and posted a page saying, "Google opened its doors in September 1998. The exact date when we celebrate our birthday has moved around over the years, depending on when people feel like having cake." - Jeff Jarvis

"Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have reached a new milestone in laser physics by creating the world's smallest semiconductor laser, capable of generating visible light in a space smaller than a single protein molecule." - bcultral from Bookmarklet

Tell me about it: http://acurrie.wordpress.com/2009... ... On the plus side, at least TripAdvisor.com has a customized hotel search for properties with free Internet. - Andrew Currie

this is huge. - Zee.

They did here in The Netherlands. And seem to be working it out at this time. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

wow and it's not the only merger... rumors rumors.. - Naor Mark

"This paragraph has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It is here merely to fill up space. Still, it is words, rather than repeated letters, since the latter might not give the proper appearance, namely, that of an actual note. For that matter, all of this is nonsense, and the only part of this that is to be read is the last paragraph, which part is the inspired creation of the producers of this very fine series. Another paragraph of stuff. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. My typing is lousy, but the typewriter isn’t so hot either. After all, why should I take the blame for these mechanical imperfections, with which all of us must contend. Lew Burdette just hit a home run and Milwaukee leads seven to one in the series. This is the last line of the filler material of the note. No, my mistake, that was only the next to last. This is last. I hope you can find a suitable explanation for Theodore’s unusual conduct. Yours truly, Cornelia Rayburn " - April Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I love the Lew Burdette reference. Outstanding. - Louis Gray

Hahaha! - Anne Bouey

Alaska-based gScreen Corp. is designing a laptop with two 15.4-inch screens built in. While a laptop with two screens isn't a completely new idea, as Lenovo has already executed the idea, this one from gScreen does so with two full sized displays that slide out side by side. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet

People used to working on dual screens can go for this baby, provided they are in for the weight factor! :D - Praveen Vasudev

"Unlike finicky fingerprints and frowned-upon fiber analysis, DNA evidence has been the most bulletproof evidence for forensic sciences in recent years. But staffers at a research firm in Israel have recently upended the presumed infallibility of this forensics golden child—by making it themselves. Nucleix, a Tel-Aviv-based life sciences company, was able to create credible DNA evidence that could be used to finger the wrong person, proof that even genetic evidence can be manipulated (beyond planting a hair or used cigarette) just like other physical traces. "You can just engineer a crime scene," Nucleix founder Dan Frumkin told The New York Times. "The current forensic procedure fails to distinguish between such samples of blood, saliva, and touched surfaces with artificial DNA, and corresponding samples with in vivo generated (natural) DNA," Frumkin and co-authors wrote in a recent Forensic Science International: Genetics study that announced the technological" - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet

Rice Dream FTW. Best substitute I've found. Protein supplements for working out though are really tricky. Even those that claim to be lactose free give me problems :( - LANjackal

Jess, you can build up an intolerance to a lot of things by overdoing it. If you do, avoid, rotate, and replenish. Then challenge test at various points. Some do the avoidance but never replenish their enzymes. That's only one part of the protocol. the other is getting better food back into your system after you clean out the gunk. What an animal eats, you and I eat. When it eats what... more... - Melanie Reed

lol - yeah, right ;-) - Jesse Stay

As long as I can fill out an entire form with one press of the Tab key, I'll not willingly leave Safari. So, no Feedly for me. At least, until Firefox or some other browser gets that ability. And tabbing from field to field isn't the same . . . - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

"My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude..." - Anna Haro from Bookmarklet

today I noticed Jill Bolte Taylor's email sig-tagline: "I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be." -Einstein \\ esp. in context of http://ff.im/6N7M5 that's profound. - Adriano
