Lots of interesting things for today. In the top stories, Mozilla decided it was announcement day. First, they make it simpler to have video chats, then they added enhancements to “share more” on the web. Really interesting additions to Firefox. Not to be outdone, Google makes Google Translate awesome with WordLens.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
