If you like a website and would like to save it into a picture file for future reference, you would probably have to save the whole page via “File > Save Page As”. This method would no doubt save huge chunks of unwanted files along with it. The other possible alternative is to print screen multiple copies of the web page and save them using Microsoft paint/GIMP. However, this makes the process very tedious, especially if the page is lengthy. After some research using the mighty Google, theysaY has discovered one useful Firefox plugin dedicated for print screening the entire web page.

Not a big deal was made of it, but just announced by Sony at their Leipzeg press conference is the PSP-3000. We’ll cut to the chase here, how exactly is the redesigned PSP-3000 better than its bigger brothers? Well, the answer is not very much.
The PSP-3000 will have no external redesign whatsoever and will look exactly like the PSP-2000. Whats changed under the hood is the presence of a screen that works better outdoors and apparently is able to resist glare, as well as a built-in microphone, something that will excite Skype users who will now be able to use their PSP as a Internet phone without any cumbersome addons.
If you asked me though, these added features are pretty underwhelming, what with all the hype of an internal hard disk, more ram, and a second analogue stick, that PSP fans had been speculating about before the official announcement.
What Sony is more likely to be after is the release of a PSP version with a more hacker-resistant motherboard, the last couple of versions were easily compromised by hackers and Sony will be looking to hold off the pirates with the newest release of the PSP-3000.
The PSP-3000 will be released in Europe on October 15th, and will be available in 8 different packages, each bundled with a different game.
So what do you think? Are these new features enough to make you buy a new PSP? Or is this minor redesign simply an attempt by Sony to make a quick buck?

Chumby is an open source widget platform that will come with WiFi, a touchscreen, some USB ports, and a squeeze sensor. It’s designed to be an interactive toy or controller for something that gives you some squeezing fun.
And now the concept of Chumby has been extended to add more fun into the fish tank. It’s proposed to be attached to some hardware that sits in the fish tank, and measures the water condition to ensure your fishes stay healthy.
When you’re away, a Chumby-equipped fish tank allows you to monitor your fish on a webcam wirelessly. The Chumby will also dispense food and medication. Chumby also allows fishes in tanks equipped with Chumby to communicate with each other over the Internet. It also senses the vibrations and noises made by bubbles, which are actually the communication signals among fishes.The Chumby-equipped fish tank definitely sounds very good for fish keepers, but too bad it’s just a concept.
