Finally, someone has conceived a way to copy and paste text from Safari to Mail, and between web pages. And this time, it doesn’t require any software installation and it’s legal: Unlike other approaches, it works with the two apps that matter most, Mail and Safari, and gets around Apple’s onerous App Store terms through a clever combination of javascript bookmarks and web services. In fact, it doesn’t require anything to be installed, so it avoids the App Store altogether. As you can see in the video, Pastebud—as the service is called—works using two bookmarks in Safari. One prepares and loads the page you are viewing, ready to select text at the touch of a finger.

Good news, everyone! Terminator 4 might not suck. I can’t know for sure without actually seeing the film, but I do have a good feeling about it, having flown to New Mexico a few months back to explore various hot, dusty sets and meet cast and crew.

Gizmodo Gallery is over, but the good we accomplished by playing Call of Duty on a 103-inch plasma TV and lighting cigarettes by flashlight will go on for quite some time.

Leo Dirac / Gmail Blog : Really new in Labs this time: SMS Text Messaging for chat   —  How often do you try to chat with somebody and they don’t respond because they just walked away from their computer?  Or maybe you’re in the middle of chatting with them just as they need to leave.

Tired of ATI ruling the uberidiculous end of the graphics card space, Nvidia is apparently striking back with its own super-stacked GTX295—it’s basically two GTX 200 GPUs hot-glued together. Expected to be unveiled at CES, the GTX 295 (nee GTX260 GX2) actually is made up of two print-circuit boards, and each one has a GTX 200 GPU, 240 stream processors, 448-bit memory bus and 896MB DDR3 memory. It’s totally outrageous, in other words, and requires 289W of power, so I hope you’ve got a behemoth of a power supply

TechCrunch reports that the Google Chrome browser will soon graduate from beta status into a final release. Even if you’ve tried Chrome and passed, rest assured you haven’t seen the last of it. Back when Microsoft snuck up behind Netscape and stole its crown, hardly anyone knew that there was even a playing field, let alone a game. Following all that anti-trust business, Microsoft’s only major competitor was the product of a non-profit organization
