Windows only: If installing Service Pack 1 for Outlook 2007 has caused your personal data manager to freeze and stall, Defrost Outlook is definitely worth the small download. The plugin, developed by one programmer's study of post-SP1 problems, fixes at least one lockup-causing issue with receiving HTML-formatted meetings and appointments by slightly re-formatting them.

Mac users of Del.icio.us' social bookmarking service already have a crisp and slick visualization tool in Delish; for the rest of us, Favthumbs might just be the next best thing.

There are two view modes, a grid layout and CoverFlow-like turnstile, and you can hit "Sync" ...

The Mysticgeek blog at the How-To Geek's site has a clever series of posts up that use free software tools to give Windows Vista Home Premium—the version that most often ships with standard laptops—the same kind of super-user powers you get with a copy of Ultimate. Mysticgeek uses FileHamster to replicate Ultimate's "Shadow Copy" function, installing a DreamScene power toy to get moving backgrounds, and DriveIMage XML to create sturdy backups (as Gina has already ...

The 2.0 software update has introduced better applications, better app management, and tons of other excellent features worth the upgrade, but they still haven't made jailbreaking obsolete. Here ...
