Here are some interesting links from today:
- FINALLY – Tabs Open Relative Puts New Tabs Next to Your Current Tab
This is the feature I’ve been waiting for FF and IE7/8 to include forever. If I’m in a tab and want to open a link in a new tab… why would I ever want it to go all the way to the right 4 or 5 tabs over? Finally that little piece of annoyance is out of my life! - Bringing history online, one newspaper at a time
Today, we’re launching an initiative to make more old newspapers accessible and searchable online by partnering with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of pages of news archives. Let’s say you want to learn more about the landing on the Moon. Try a search for [Americans walk on moon], and you’ll be able to find and read an original article from a 1969 edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. - Zune 3 is a free upgrade for current Zune owners
Finally, the Zune’s Wi-Fi feature does something worthwhile. With the ability to access public and password-protected Wi-Fi hot spots, your Zune can now update itself on the fly and download tracks directly from Zune Marketplace. Zune Pass users will get the most from this feature since they’ll be able to stream as much music as they want directly from Zune Marketplace as an added value. Pair this feature up with a speaker dock and you’ve essentially got a killer commercial-free jukebox.
