AutoHide Firefox Extension
In most of the browsers, toolbars take a lot of space on the display. You can either remove/hide the toolbars or switch to Full Screen Mode.
In the latest version of Firefox (Version 2.0) the Full Screen mode will display only the Navigation Toolbar. However you are forced to switch back to the normal view if you want to access features in other hidden toolbars.
AutoHide is a nice little Firefox Extension which gives you more control of the browser in full screen mode.
Using the extension customization dialog, you can configure "Autohide" setting for individual toolbars. The plugin is intelligent in the sense that when you install a new

The Last Legion
Check out the trailer of The Last Legion starring Aishwarya Rai !
I never knew till now that she was starring in a Hollywood movie. If you saw the trailer completely one thing that you will notice immediately is the dialogue delivery by Aishwarya Rai ! Sounds pathetic ! Doesn't it ?
This is the comment left on IMDB by a viewer who saw an early preview of this movie:
I saw an early screening of this movie. I went because I think Ben Kinglsey is a great actor so I thought it would b a great movie. I was dead wrong. My 2 friends as well as my brother and sister laughed throughout

QWERTY Warriors
My hands are aching as I type this post ! All credit for the pain goes to this game called QWERTY Warriors !

Launchy - Quicksilver for Windows ?
One of the features I liked in Google Desktop was the Quick search. Using this, I could quickly invoke the programs in the Start Menu, other than searching the files in my computer.
Colibri was a nice alternative to GD's Quick Search. You can read more about Colibri here.
Launchy is another nice little open source tool to accomplish the same functionality.
Launchy is the most efficient way to open files, folders, and programs on your computer
The startup of the program is kind of weird in the sense that it hides in the background and there is no way to know that the program is running.
(Unlinke Launchy, Colibri sits in the taskbar to let you know that it is running in the background!)
Alt + Space invokes the Launchy widget.
