Evernote Web gets a new interface, Facebook sharing, and more
Auto-saving is now enabled as well, and you can select multiple items by holding down the Cmd or Ctrl key on your Mac or Windows keyboard. If you've got items stored in your notebooks that you want to share with friends or co-workers, Evernote has improved that process, too. You can quickly post an item to Facebook, share it via email, or generate a Web sharing link to paste into an IM conversation or status update.
Head over to the Evernote Web login page to try out the new interface.

VMware adds Mozy to its cloud and virtualization empire
VMware's official blog post makes it clear that the company wasn't so much interested in Mozy as a consumer offering. Rather, it's the inner workings of Mozy which piqued VMware's curiosity. CTO Steve Herrod says, "Over the past 5 years, Mozy has built one of the best examples of a globally distributed, large-scale cloud offering." He adds that the move will allow VMware to "further ramp our own cloud-related learning and accelerate new IP, scale, and capabilities" of its existing offerings.
Existing Mozy customers don't need to worry, of course. VMware has pledged to continue running Mozy's service without interruption.

On the future of Twitter: Developer reactions
I've already had my rant, as have John Gruber, Matthew Panzarino, Lex Friedman, M.G. Siegler, Jerry Hildenbrand, Benjamin Brooks, Shawn Blanc, and many others across the blogsphere. Which is good, because tech bloggers, especially Apple and mobile tech bloggers, tend to be monster Twitter users (and not the automated social media marketing types -- actual heavy-duty users the type of which helped spin up the service to begin with.) Yet we, like any user, will be challenged only so far as the apps we use to engage Twitter are challenged, and those apps are made by developers, and those developers are at the front lines.
So what are the Twitter developers saying? Here are some excerpts and links back, and I'll add more as I find them.
Paul Haddad of Tapbots:
There?s been a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt generated by Twitter?s latest announcement. I wanted to let everyone know that the world isn?t ending, Tweetbot for Mac is coming out soon, Tweetbot for iOS isn?t going anywhere. So sit down, grab a towel and let?s go over some of these API changes.
Gedeon Maheux of the Iconfactory:
Well, there's some good news. Twitterrific has tons of user tokens available, enough to make the next version more than doable. #whew
Marco Arment of Instapaper:
Closer to home for me, it affects Instapaper?s ?Liked By Friends? browsing feature, which will need to be significantly rewritten if I want it to comply. (If.)
Nate Weiner of Pocket:
We?ve been told that the new API guidelines are not intended to affect or hamper your ability to integrate Pocket with Twitter apps or clients. The ?social actions? refer to Twitter?s own actions like Fav, RT, and Reply.
David Barnard of App Cubby:
At this very moment I bet there are thousands of people writing many millions of words about Twitter losing its way, so I won?t pile on. But as a former Twitter developer, I will say that I am deeply saddened by today?s announcement. The 3rd party ecosystem is what made Twitter. This announcement is a huge slap in the face and a knife to the back.
So, indeed, the sky isn't falling. Your favorite Twitter app or tweeting feature isn't going anywhere. Yet.
But to paraphrase Darth Vader in Empire Strikes Back (and really, why wouldn't you?), Twitter has altered the deal, and all Twitter-dependant developers can do is pray Twitter doesn't alter it again.
Because it's not only about the present, it's about the future, and when you start to think you won't be next, it usually means you will be. You. Will. Be.

LeapFrog's child-friendly LeapPad 2 goes on sale for $100, is ready for sticky fingers
You might've already checked out our hands-on time with LeapFrog's next-gen LeapPad, but starting today, now you can finally get your own palms on the kid-friendly slate. The company -- who's also introduced us to the Explorer -- has announced its LeapPad 2 is now up for grabs at an array of online and brick-and-mortar shops, such as Target, Best Buy, Kmart, Amazon and, naturally, its very own site. Now, the $100 LeapPad 2 isn't anywhere near the same class as Mountain View's $200 Nexus 7, though for obvious reasons, as it's targeted at a completely different audience. In other words, those 100 bucks might just be enough to keep kids away from your precious every-day tablet. We'll let you decide that, however.

Windows 8 now available to OEMs via Microsoft Connect
Select Microsoft Connect partners -- major players like HP -- have been given their first taste of Windows 8. According to various sources, the build string currently sits at 7971.0.110324-1900, which is the third milestone build of the successor to Windows 7.So far, there haven't been many details revealed about Windows 8. An actual System Restore -- which is being referred to as History Vault -- has been reported, and the feature will allow users and administrators to completely roll back a system to a previous state. A factory reset option is also said to be included.
We've also seen Windows Live integration taking shape on the desktop. It's believed that you'll be able to log in to Windows 8 using your Windows Live credentials, not just a traditional offline Windows username and password.
All that's left now is for a leaked Windows 8 build to show up on a torrent site. Feel free to tip us if you see that happen.
