Services like Apture actually make the web stronger by exposing it's cracks.

A few years from now web browsers will have protected Copy/Paste. That will be a good thing but you wouldn't have gotten there without services that used scripts to hijack Copy/Paste in the first place.

And that protected copy/paste might have a metadata field that captures Apture-esque info on the client side while you do normal Copy/Paste and I can imagine a very useful Paste+ shortcut that spits out the clipboard contents in a link to the source.

I would love an extension that would do something like that. I clip some text and the first paste is the text, and the next paste is the link. Or the paste is a properly formatted html link, or properly formatted wiki link.

I would load that in a heartbeat.
