Barence writes "Opera has proposed a new browsing system that swaps scrolling on websites for flippable pages. The Norwegian browser maker is looking to remove the side scroll bar for documents or articles in favor of 'pages' of a set-size, similar to an ebook. Text can be reflowed into a column layout, and ads will be moved into the right spot in the text, with different ones displayed depending on the orientation of the device. Pages are flipped with gestures on tablets or with mouse clicks on the desktop. It's an 'opportunity to rethink the ads on the web and the user interface,' said Hakon Wium Lie, Opera's CTO." Their main focus for this is browsing on tablets. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

pLet's all join together in a chorus of: Your social networking pages are not enough! You need your own website!/p pemYour social networking pages are not enough! You need your own website!/em/p pOK, thanks. With that out of the way, let's start talking about what exactly should be on said website.

astroengine writes "On April 13 mdash; the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 13 accident mdash; Bonhams in New York City will auction off pages from the Apollo 13 mission manual, with handwritten notes by flight commander Jim Lovell. I'm thinking the chances of actually outbidding a rich space enthusiast is slim to none, but having a chance at owning a piece of spaceflight history should be popular nonetheless." Here is an item listing page at Bonham's for one of those pages, which, as Gizmodo notes, saved three astronauts' lives.pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F04%2F07%2F0148253%2FApollo-13-Mission-Manual-Pages-To-Be-Auctioned" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Apollo+13+Mission+Manual+Pages+To+Be+Auctioned%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FaX535v" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/04/07/0148253/Apollo-13-Mission-Manual-Pages-To-Be-Auctioned?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1609756amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframe pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dvLxctJg7EHUT_u6_i5RAQVR-d4/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dvLxctJg7EHUT_u6_i5RAQVR-d4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dvLxctJg7EHUT_u6_i5RAQVR-d4/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dvLxctJg7EHUT_u6_i5RAQVR-d4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/VOJ3_KFLfNU" height="1" width="1"/

mytrip points out news that Google's index of unique URLs has reached a milestone: one trillion. Google's blog provides some more information, noting, "The first Google index in 1998 already had 26 million pages, and by 2000 the Google index reached the one billion mark. Over the last eight years, we've seen a lot of big numbers about how much content is really out there. To keep up with this volume of information, our systems have come a long way since the first set of web data Google processed to answer queries. Back then, we did everything in batches: one workstation could compute the PageRank graph on 26 million pages in a couple of hours, and that set of pages would be used as Google's index for a fixed period of time. Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-link graph several times per day."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
