Everybody love neat little “Web 2.0″ applications.  Only problem with them is that they only really do you any good as long as you are online.  Leave it to Google to take care of that little technicality.

Today Google launched ‘Google Gears‘.  Google Gears effectively eliminates the online requirement for Web apps.  Imagine that… offline capability for web apps.  I wonder how long before Google Spreadsheets and some of their other ‘office-style’ applications start taking advantage of this.  Here’s some more info on Google Gears.

Based on Unix utilities psync and cron, PsyncX is a utility for doing automated backups. You simply choose what you want to back up, where to backup to, and then a time for the backup. PsyncX sets a cron job to run the backup at that time. If you have an external hard disk connected to your computer, or your iPod with disk mode enabled, this is a great way to backup regularly.

When Apple switched to Intel, Mac OS X lost its ability to run older versions of Mac OS in Classic Mode. SheepSaver brings this functionality back. Here’s how it works:

1. Install SheepSaver on your Intel machine.
2. Copy over a ROM from an old Mac.
3. Install Mac OS 9 (or older) from a CD.

Then you can run Classic applications on your Mac OS X Intel machine.

Songbird is an open source jukebox and media player that “promises to be the Firefox of media players.” Being a jukebox puts it squarely in competition with iTunes, but Songbird offers some unique features that make it worth a look even for hardcore Mac users. (It also runs on other platforms.)

The interface will remind you of iTunes and it’s easy enough to navigate. It can play MP3 and AAC files, but also Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and WMA. (Of course, it can’t play music purchased from the iTunes Music Store.) It’s built on the same platform as Firefox and will eventually, likewise, offer extensions so you can customize it as much as Firefox. Songbird includes a built-in web browser, which is actually better than you might think. If you browse to a web page that has a podcast or music linked to it, Songbird automatically finds these files and offers to add them to your library.

Songbird hasn’t even reached version 1.0, but it’s already shaping up to be something great and has lots of cool features. I’m excited to see where it goes.

UPDATE: Though I couldn’t get it to work at first go, Jonas wrote to tell me that Songbird can indeed play DRM’ed songs from the iTunes Music Store via the Quicktime plugin.
