Windows only: Free system tray utility PureText adds a global keyboard shortcut to your system to paste text into any application without formatting. PureText strips all of the rich formatting from text—like bold, italics, color, alignment, margins, and more—so that what you're left with is just the plain text (hence the name). If you're all too familiar with the Paste Special -> Unformatted Text feature in Microsoft Word, PureText's simple shortcut—which defaults to Win+V—will save ...

Firefox only: Mozilla Labs unveils the first prototype of a natural language web service connector called Ubiquity, a Firefox extension that adds a command panel to any web page. Ubiquity will look familiar to Quicksilver, Launchy, or Enso users: you invoke Ubiquity with a key combination and the text field drops down command suggestions as you type. Ubiquity's built-in command set consists of "user-centric mashups" that let you perform tasks using various web services in ...

This is looking very, very cool. I already heavily use bookmark keywords in FF, but this takes is much further to allow "scriptable bookmarks". Managed to put together my first simple Ubiquity command to look up Japanese words in a translation dictionary in about 10 minutes following the tutorial, and it sounds like more complex commands won't be too much harder to write.

This is quite possibly the cleverest thing I've seen in a while. Ubiquity gives the web a command line for manipulating and aggregating data from various web services on the fly. Check out the video!

The main reason why more people haven't adopted command line shortcuts is because their brain doesn't move faster than their mouse (and a few page refreshes).

I started using this yesterday. It's quite useful, though only for a limited set of actions. I haven't dabbled in the dev side of things but as long as that's easy, I think this will take off.

Despite the fact that it ships with a DVD drive, for whatever godforsaken reason, the Nintendo Wii doesn't support DVD playback—until last week, that is, when a homebrew hacker released a tool that enables DVD playback on your Wii. The best part? You don't have to crack open your Wii or disturb your hardware in any way to install it. Let's take a detailed look at how to softmod your Wii with the Twilight hack ...

This is a nice detail on how to set up Wii homebrew and DVD playback. I've been running the Homebrew Channel for a couple of months now. I rented Zelda from Blockbuster to install it (f'n $8 for a 5-day rental). By far my favorite Wiibrew app is FCE Ultra, the classic NES emulator. The Wiimote works great for it since the system only had two buttons. It's really nice to have the SD available for installing new Wii homebrew (like the DVD player) as it comes along. I haven't tried the DVD player yet, but I may soon.

Mit dabei ist so ziemlich alles was mit NES, Gameboy & Co Musik macht: Nullsleep, Bit Shifter, Glomag (in einer kurzen Szene sieht man die Xboxen, mit denen er „This Spartan Life“ produziert), Bubblyfish, The Depreciation Guild und viele mehr.
