I just saw a post this morning about Sean Lyndersay’s new Sidebar gadget called the “WebSlice Viewer Gadget.” This brilliant little creation brings IE8’s WebSlices (bits of web content that you can access from the new IE8 Favorites Bar) right to your desktop via a simple Vista Sidebar gadget.
The gadget, currently in alpha (you’ve been warned!), requires Vista (unknown if x64 supported, but let us know), IE8, and a web page that has some WebSlices. Each instance of the WebSlice Viewer shows only one WebSlice, so you will need to open multiple gadgets to show multiple views.
You can download the WebSlice gadget from Sean’s SkyDrive.

Here’s a twist on multiple desktops: software from Cubedesktop increases your working space by offering you a 3D virtual desktop environment. With Cubedesktop, you will have 6 virtual desktops which you can move between in different ways, one of which is a 3D cube. As you move from desktop to desktop, you will see a live preview of what’s happening. All the windows update in real time, so you can find just the one you are looking for. Each desktop can be named (like “work,” “school,” or “fun”) and can have its own wallpapers and icon arrangement.
Besides the 3D cube, you can also use features like the “Window Exposer,” which tiles the open windows on to your screen, or a simpler Desktop Explorer. The software is available as a free trial for both XP and Vista (does not specify if x64 supported). (via Go2web20)

A new Vista sidebar gadget brings the power of your favorite social network to your desktop. The MyFacebook gadget shows you if you have new messages in your Facebook inbox, new pokes, friend requests, lets you see your friends’ albums, friend lists, events, and shows you your status as well as a scrolling display of your friends’ statuses. You can also update your status right from the gadget. Once you’ve installed the gadget, you’ll need to authorize it, then log in and add the feeds it requests. The gadget isn’t perfect (yet), but it’s certainly a great start. Let’s tell the widget author thanks for feeding our Facebook addiction! (Via InsideMicrosoft)

I recently dropped by the Windows Vista Team blog the other day, and I found this great post on how Intellipoint software interacts with Vista. Like many people, I had not bothered installing the software for my Microsoft keyboard & mouse since Windows has no problem finding the hardware on its own. Who knew I was missing out on such great features? Now, when you use the Intellipoint software with Windows Vista, you have a bevy of features at your disposal. Here are some of the highlights:
1. Magnifier: Much better than the built-in tool, IntelliPoint software behaves more like a real magnifying glass. You can select the size of the magnifying window to encompass either a small section of a document, Web page, or photo. The size is customizable by dragging the window to your preferred size. The size you select will be remembered for future use. You can also [...]
