Googlopia ★: Funny comic.
SpamSieve 2.4 ★: New version of the Mac’s best spam tool.
In Which Google Base Launches… ★: Tom Coates on Google Base.
Backup 3.0’s Flickr-Style Text Fields ★: Michael McCracken:

Do we really want to doom users of desktop apps to a lot of web-style scrubbing around with the mouse to discover features?
RoundCube Webmail Project ★: Very good-looking webmail client:

RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation and message filters. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and requires the MySQL database. The user interface is fully skinnable using XHTML and CSS 2.
Opera Platform ★: Web-based widget platform for mobile devices; this could be the idea that keeps Opera relevant. If it’s done right, it ought to be as easy to develop for mobile devices as it is for Dashboard or Konfabulator. (Via Russell Beattie.)
Google Base Launches ★: I guess it’s more or less an ad hoc database for just about anything you’d want others to be able to find when searching the web.
Address Book’s Edit Mode ★: Pierre Igot delivers a long-overdue beating to the Address Book editing UI.
