What the heck is Google Airbag? We missed it's release back in late December, but first off, it's a developer tool. The Google Code website describes it as an open-source multi-platform crash reporting system. What it basically does is identify to the developer why the program that is being developed is crashing and help them understand more quickly what, exactly, is going wrong. A lot of the time it's difficult to reproduce crashes, but with this little piece of magic, developers can basically watch their applications crash, and understand what's necessary in order to fix them.

If you want to learn more about Airbag, download the code and join in on some discussions, check out its home on the Google Code website. Airbag currently works in Mac and Windows, and will be released for Linux developers in the neat future.
