Juice is a new plugin for the Firefox 3. The powerful plugin automatically culls information from around the web whenever you search for or highlight a term, making it a handy reference tool that I could quickly get used to. It also doubles as a media storage tool, allowing you to simply drag and drop videos and image files into the sidebar to save them for later.

Juice pulls from sources including Wikipedia, Google News, YouTube, and our own CrunchBase (through its API) to offer users a quick at-a-glance summary of many popular topics. The sidebar is very polished, allowing for in-line video playback and expandable text summaries, and the media storage function is intuitive.

At this point it seems that the plugin’s database is still fairly small, as many searches (even for such common terms as “Superman”) result in a notice that “Juice has learned a new keyword”. Within a few minutes these new terms are added to the database automatically, and the issue will probably be gone within a few weeks of the public beta. Video

Of course you are too many.. It is a very smart campaign of famous ‘Hollywood people’ with the support of Google, YouTube, Declare Yourself, and MySpace.

Some of them are Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Snoop Dogg, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Ben Stiller, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg, Justin Timberlake, Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat, Zach Braff, Colin Farrell, Neil Patrick Harris, Scarlett Johansson, Shia LeBeouf, Tobey Maguire, Ryan Reynolds and Jason Segal.

Today, a new video came to YouTube with a very good editing.

Where the hell is Matt?

In which an exuberant tribute to the common humanity of the world’s cultures drowns in the viewer’s own acid brew of jealousy and provincialist inadequacy. Suggested alternate title: How the hell did Matt find the time and money to do this?

Everyone knows who this guy is, yes? It occurs to me that I may be assuming too much, but with 600,000 views for this in one day and almost 10 million for the one he released two years ago, we’re probably all on the same page.
