Virtual desktops… if you’ve ever found the desktop clutter a frustrating part of using Windows and Linux isn’t an option for you, then frankly there aren’t too many solutions. I’ve tried a few multiple desktop managers and none seem to be particularly great, although I’m sure a few of you will differ in opinion. 360 Desktop is a great new freeware application which takes your standard, flat desktop and turns it into a rich, 360 ...

Web utility del.icio.us to Firefox merges your bookmarks from social bookmarking web site del.icio.us—tags and all—with your existing Firefox 3 bookmarks. Why might you want to do this? Because the new and improved bookmarking functionality in Firefox 3 supports tagging, but since previous versions of Firefox did not, you've already got tons of bookmarks with no tags. After providing this web site with your backed up del.icio.us and Firefox bookmarks, it merges the two so ...

One of the best side effects of using Facebook is knowing when your contacts' birthdays are—but you only see them if you log in. The Facebook application fbCal is out to fix that. Once you install it on Facebook, fbCal creates an iCal file for your Facebook contacts' birthdays as well as Facebook events. Subscribe to the feed in your iCal-enabled calendar app of choice, like Mac's iCal or Google Calendar. When I tried fbCal ...
