We’re a big fan of Gmail over here at noheat.com, its better than sliced bread so when we got a whiff of Gmail news my fingers couldn’t type fast enough. The word is that the next update of Gmail will include a new Contacts and Signature section. This is said to be one of the weakest links in Gmail at the moment. The signature section will allow more customization as well such as a link to share complete contact info (ala Plaxo). Here is a list of other features in testing.
* List by Senders Domain.
* Date Range Searches.
* Send to Blog.
(Admins please send edits quickly, get screenshot of contacts section if you can)
If your PC either does not have a drive light or has one that is hidden at the front of the laptop like my Sony VGN-A790 then this little utility is for you. It displays a light in the system tray to show when the hard disk is active. This is great for those moments when you ask…What the %@$& is my system doing? Here’s the link to download

Windows Only: FireFox is a great browser, but it is not quite perfect. One wrong upgrade or funky extension can blow up your browser and cause your bookmarks to disappear. So after a million times of recovering and fixing bookmark and pref files manually I decided to take matters into my own hands. I built FixFireFox which essentially fixes files to correct your browser’s behavior. FixFireFox is a free download and is not associated with Mozilla. Please note that this application will only work on the User Account you are currently using and your default FireFox profile. I will make updates later to add other Accounts as well as multiple profiles. This application is compatible with all versions of Firefox including Firefox 2.0. Firefox 2.0 is especially prone to loosing its bookmarks and having Chrome errors, hope this can help fix firefox for you.

Some things should just work correctly, I think someone is using that particular line to sell vacuum cleaners, but it also works for operating systems. For years the Mac OS has had a feature to allow to you to view folder sizes in your detail listing, and that seemingly is one of the few features that Microsoft did not rip off. So in comes Folder Size for Windows 2.3 a freeware application that corrects this glaring omission in the Windows operating system. So go forth knowing the sizes of your folders without one extra right click.
I have a lot on my desktop typically. This is because I typically use my desktop as a staging ground for all of my files. However after watching my desktop icons bogging down my system every time they are reloaded I decided to something about it. The first part of that plan was to install
CleanDesk the second part is to install Iconoid. Iconoid hides desktop icons when you don’t need them and see them when you do.
Iconoid is a small program that helps reduce the clutter and confusion of the Windows(r) desktop. With Iconoid you can: Automatically hide and display desktop icons Remove the colored box behind icon text Automatically set the colored box behind the text to an optimal color for your desktop picture Quickly and easily minimize all of the windows on your screen Save and restore the positions of icons Insure that icons do not move when you change screen resolutions Save icon locations for each screen resolution individually

Callthefuture.org calls a future you at a designated future time from a designated future number and reads off a message in a
computerized future voice. This is a great little Web 2.0 application for sending a reminder, pulling a prank, or excusing yourself out of a date or family event. If only Ted from “Bill and Ted Adventures” knew about this service he could have warned his future self with this instead on relying on the often unreliable time traveling phone booth.
