EverNote is one of my favorite applications because of its advanced note taking capabilities. With it I’m able to clip important information from the web, write up grocery lists, keep track of things I need to do, and more.

The new EverNote 2.2 raises the bar even more by adding some highly anticipated features:

• Improved search for printed and handwritten text within images
• Auto-import snapshots from your camera phone
• Basic image editing right inside EverNote
  
• Google Desktop Search (GDS) compatibility – all searches using Google Desktop will include your notes
• Universal Clipper with image markup
• Open, manage, and edit notes in separate windows

The advanced version of EverNote ($49.95) includes searching within images, handwriting recognition, shape correction, and digital ink support. You’ll get to use all of those features for your first 60 days, and after that EverNote will revert to a fully functional mode without those features. I think it’s safe to say that if you don’t have a Tablet PC the free version will suffice.

Heads Up: The download is 56.5MB in size, which is rather large.

Rovio promoted the event as a celebration of 3 trillion popped piggies and the chance for fans of the game to meet, play, and compare scores. But in a couple of U.S. cities at least, things weren’t flying high.

Faviconize is one of those Firefox extensions that you would have never thought about needing but once you have it you’ll fall in love with Firefox all over again. Well, maybe it isn’t quite that good but I have put this to good use several times already.

The concept is really simple. Essentially the text in the tabs is “collapsible” which means you can save a lot of room on your Tab Bar for those sites that can easily be identified by their favicon. It can be used for any tab but I only use it for the ones that I am familiar with such as Google and CyberNet (of course ). I had done it with Gmail but I forgot that it shows when you have a new message in the text so I didn’t want to do that.

To hide the text you just right-click on any tab and select “FaviconizeTab.” The text will then be hidden but you can re-enable it by right-clicking again and clicking on the same option. It is also configurable so that when you double-click, Alt-click, etc… on a tab it will automatically enable/disable the feature.

These space-saving Firefox extensions are always my favorite. They are typically small in size (in more ways that one) but do great things. Just like the one yesterday that I wrote about called Search Bar Autosizer…and now I don’t think I would use Firefox without it. Faviconize is quite as useful but it is pretty close.

Thanks for the tip Chris!

When it comes to building better batteries, building electrodes with greater surface area is key, and scientists are looking to exotic methods to attract the tiny particles they need. We’ve already seen graphene and carbon nanotubes soak up those electrons, but the University of Maryland has another idea — they’re using the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) to generate usable patterns of nanorods on the surface of existing metal electrodes. By simply modifying the germ and letting it do its thing, then coating the surface with a conductive film, they’re generating ten times the energy capacity of a standard lithium-ion battery while simultaneously rendering the nasty vegetarian bug inert.

Meanwhile, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) at Sandia Labs was more curious how these tiny charges actually work without confusing the forest for the trees, so to speak, so a team of scientists set about constructing the world’s smallest battery. Using a single tin dioxide nanowire as anode, a chunk of lithium cobalt dioxide as cathode, and piping some liquid electrolyte in between, they took a microscopic video of the charging process. See it in all its grey, goopy glory right after the break.

Did you know that it takes nearly seven and a half million pounds of thrust to get a Space Shuttle off the ground and into the final frontier? NASA opts to generate that power by burning through 1,000 gallons of liquid propellants and 20,000 pounds of solid fuel every second, which as you might surmise, makes for some arresting visuals. Thankfully, there are plenty of practical reasons why NASA would want to film its launches (in slow motion!), and today we get to witness some of that awe-inspiring footage, replete with a silky voiceover explaining the focal lengths of cameras used and other photographic minutiae. It’s the definition of an epic video, clocking in at over 45 minutes, but if you haven’t got all that time, just do it like us and skip around — your brain will be splattered on the wall behind you either way.
