"Wiltshire, United Kingdom, July 13, 2009--Google's Street View trike spins around Stonehenge, one of several tourist attractions the British public voted to have photographed for Google's Street View application. The application allows Web users to see ground-level photographic views of locations on the popular interactive Google Maps site. The trike allows imaging of sites inaccessible by car." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

"The next step would be Foursquare striking some kind of deals with these places (since it would be driving paying customers to them), and voila, you have a nice little revenue model." - George Dearing from Bookmarklet

"A recent Chromium build revealed the mystery of the blank container: Google shows popular web pages from the iGoogle gadget "What's popular". The gadget "uses algorithms to find interesting content from a combination of your submissions and trends in aggregated user activity across a variety of Google services, like YouTube and Google Reader"." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

fake? - LeON

Obviously fake, but this would be a badass iPhone... oh, and while we're dreaming, it should have at least 120GB of storage space. ;-) - Timothy Federwitz

Much thanks, Zee! This could come in hand in the future. - Matt Ruiz

I'd like the extensions to show up next to the address bar as small icons there on the right between the adress bar the "Control the current page" icon. - Charbax

Yea true, the address bar is wasteful big. - Mario

I was a huge fan of OmniFocus so I'm not sure what made me even give Things a shot but I'm glad I did. Although I may miss OmniFocus' sub-projects and keyboard-oriented task and project entry, Things makes up for it in just about every other way. The iPhone app is superior to OmniFocus' as well. Oh, and it's cheaper, too. [meant to post this to Apps initially] - Akiva Moskovitz

I use Omnifocus and like Things but neither do what MyLifeOrganized and Life Balance do, which is to allow contexts (or places) to belong to an indefinite number of other contexts. In other words if I know I may need something from a bike shop, I can place Bike shop under Web, Commuting and/or Central London and be able to see that task in any context where that transaction is possible. For Things, contexts are just a flat list, while in Omnifocus contexts are strictly hierarchical - Tim Ostler

"Mer is a new Linux operating system, built upon a thin base of Ubuntu Jaunty combined with the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform. The goals of Mer include: * Improving and developing parts of Maemo that are of interest to the Maemo community. * Making it easier to port existing desktop applications by hildonizing and adjusting them to the tablet form factor. * Encouraging third party experimentation and development. * Supporting tablet hardware no longer receiving updated OS software by Nokia. * Making Maemo a generic platform for all tablet devices, including non-Nokia ones. * Focusing Maemo community efforts in platform-related areas" - A.T.

"MaxTo is a small Windows program that divides your monitors into regions. When you maximize a window, it will no longer fit the entire screen, but only the region it was maximized into. Your windows are neatly organized into the grid you have defined when they are maximized. MaxTo has been described as a tiling window manager." - Michael Zehrer from Bookmarklet

Is there anything like this for Mac? And No, Spaces doesnt count. Sometimes its nice to have half and half on a desktop, etc. Spaces just has dif desktops. So, anything for mac? Grid based screen positioning seems awesome. - md.

Vraiment cool! - Sam
