Google comes up with an interesting idea on how to gather more information on an object or subject, such as a book or class mate.
Poiting on objects and depending on the current GPS based location, such as a restaurant, Goggles will help to identify the restaurant and give further information.

There are currently four homebrew installers - all with limited functionality and some pros and cons. Again, Precentral created a gorgeous overview chart of all tools and point out which make sense for which procedures...
In order to quickly access the developer mode under webOS, one can make use of the DevMode Launcher.
As usual, precentral is a good source for some webOS juice and so are they reporting that webOS folks will be able to playback flash animations very soon and one of the first to do so on a mobile device in general.
