A year ago the BumpTop virtual desktop software left many people in an "I want it" frame of mind. I was surely one of those people as the demonstration showed files being thrown around the desktop just as you would in real life. You could crumple icons up like a piece of paper, sprawl pictures across a desk, and organize everything into tidy stacks with just a few clicks.

It was more than a year ago when we last wrote about MyBloop, a file sharing site, and we mentioned a way to download music that others upload to the site. They shutdown for awhile because they couldn’t keep up with the hosting needs, and after several months they are back for more.

Now when you go to search for a video over at Google Video, you’ll notice a few changes when you click to view one of the video results. Google has implemented a new frame at the top of the Google Video Search, and it looks much like what you would see when you do a Google Image Search.

One of the best features that I have found in Vista is the nicely designed Windows Explorer. It makes it easy to navigate through your folders, and allows you to put frequently used folders in the sidebar on the left side.
