The author of Retrato en Sepia posts a link to the patch iScroll2 that brings to old ibooks the ability to scroll in all directions using the trackpad and to simulate the right button of the mouse. This functionality is available in the new ibooks. The comments on the post warn that iScroll2 consumes a lot of memory and that sidetrack is better, but is not free.

Web 2.0, the revolution is here

Javier Perez in JavierPérez gives the name Web 2.0 to the Ajax technology and shows the source code of a function to check a nickname for uniqueness, feeding the result back to the user without the need to submit an HTML form. He mentions GMail and Google maps as examples of web applications already using the technology. He also posts a link to Protopage (free personal start page) which allows you to create a page containing sticky notes that can be used as a bookmarks program.
