Brand new stuff for Snow Leopard: If you choose to make Choose Wisley your default web browser, clicking links in other programs — for example your email client — will cause a pop-up a window to appear which gives you the opportunity to select a specific browser to open the link with. This tiny application is very useful for those who are into web development to test their work or who need more than one default browser. All you need to do is simply drag and drop your browsers into the application window. A maximum of 5 different browsers can be stored, and browsers you no longer need can be removed by dragging them out of the window. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is required. Older versions are not officially supported and may cause system crashes.
The rest is here:
Choose Wisley for Mac lets you select your browser on-the-fly

When Google sent me a Nexus One phone to review, one of the first applications I installed was the NPR News application. I like to listen to NPR programs while I’m walking around the city, cooking dinner, or working out. And the application was pretty cool, allowing me to find all sorts of NPR podcasts organized by top stories, topics, programs, and stations. But there’s one thing the NPR News Android application didn’t do… until today: stream live content from NPR member stations. Today NPR released version 1.2 of the Android app with support for listening to live-streams from more than 600 NPR stations. You can search for stations by call sign, zip code, or just hit the “local stations” button to find radio stations in your geographical area. Because some stations have secondary audio streams, there are actually more than 1,000 streaming audio stations you can tune into

Layar makes augmented reality applications for smartphone platforms including Google Android and the iPhone. What that means is, you can hold up your phone and look through the camera while seeing digital information about the things you’re looking at. Click on the Architecture layer, and you can see information about significant buildings you pass. The Allmenus layer, shows you information about restaurants you pass, complete with menus and ratings when available. Up until now the app was only available from the iPhone App Store and Android Market, and all of the different augmented reality layers in the application were available for free. But both of those things could soon change.

But both of those things could soon change. Today Layar announced that it’s partnered with “one of the top 3″ handset makers, which could mean that the software will come preinstalled on some phones in the not-too-distant future. The company is also sort of opening an app store of its own. Third parties can already create tools for Layar (like the Allmenus layer).
