iPhone 3G, Opera, FireFox 3, Scrapbook Plugin - 06.09.08

The Steve Jobs keynote at the World Wide Developers Conference '08 is happening right now. As I record this, bloggers are sharing live play-by-plays at the conference, plus some pretty good color commentary. So far, it looks like the iPhone 2.0 is going to move the line quite a bit, including big applause for the way Apple came up with to push stuff to your phone instantly, when you need it, rather than running apps in the background all the time which drain your batteries and make everything run slower. You can follow this link to see what the live bloggers are saying from the audience, complete with visual aids.

Despite the many advances in web technology Opera has brought to the browser community in years past, such as tabs, the browser has consistently lagged behind FireFox in terms of popularity. Recently they struck a deal with Haute Secure to deal with malware right in the web browser itself. So far, Opera is the only browser that has anti-malware support built-in. It is unlikely that anyone will really care given all the hype surrounding the release of FireFox 3.

Even before Mozilla announced Download Day for Fire Fox 3, the internet has been abuzz about the new features it's going to support. If you're not into beta testing for whatever reason, we've got a video link that shows you exactly how cool the new web browser will be. New features include an improved address bar and smarter bookmarking. Now if only it native support for web clippings, we'd be golden.

Fortunately, you can do just that with the free Scrapbook Plugin. Just highlight what you want to save, tag it, and store it your bookmarks for later. It also saves a snapshot of the current page, so even if the site changes, your web clipping will look the same.

And if you're not a fan of FireFox, and would still enjoy this same type of feature in, say Safari or Internet Explorer, GoogleNotebook can pull this trick off with no sweat. In fact, this feature has just recently been added to Google Reader, so you can even clip and save portions of your favorite blogs right from your favorite feed reader.

Finally, if you're a Mac user, Google has a present for you. We've got a link to some cool tools that Google employees have been developing in their free time, all of them targeted towards OSX. They have everything from an Image Search application for the desktop, to a program that automatically lets you record directly from your iSight Camera to YouTube.
