software utilities: highlighting/summaries/annotations

Isn't it about time browsers came with a highlighting tool, where you didn't have to go back and forth between windows in order to extract a summary?

Also, whatever happened to the idea of multiple copy-paste buffers?

...and what about annotating documents? (I recently found out that Adobe allows this, but it's not so widespread, leading people to do some awkward quoting)

...and the use of smart auto-complete / shorthands, to prevent RSI?

... etc

collaborative backup system?

Does there exist some kind of collaborative backup system?

Your HD could be partnered with a few other Internetted computers (or to be more efficient, use a checksum system like RAID) to make backups of each other (or just the most important directories). There could be a daily update of the changes made.

I think most people would want some sort of encryption, so that users of the remote computers else can't read their data.
