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 degree panoramic workspace.

Posted on July 7, 2008 - Filed Under Software Reviews, Web Site Tips | 4 Comments
Why should you care about Adobe AIR?
Well AIR applications are more then just fancy widgets, and more even then just web services outside of the browser. Instead they give developers the opportunity to provide the traditional power and flexibility of desktop applications to web services.
The advantages are attractive, cross-browser applications which have low system resources requirements and are quick to develop. The biggest issue seems to be the ease in which developers can push out low quality and unfinished products, however here are some of the best ones I have found:

June 2008 seems to have been all about browsers.
The market is dominated by 4 main competitors; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari. The remainder is made up of modified browsers built on top of these and include Flock, Maxthon and Songbird.

Opera finally pushed the completed 9.5 version and Mozilla announced the 17th as the official release date.
