ExtensionFM is the first killer extension for Google Chrome OS (and it's not even here yet) (Download Squad)

Mar 19th 2010 9:48PM Well, I seem to be the only commenter so far that thinks this has major potential. Thing is - Nothing plays! It just keeps bouncing from song to song, trying to find one it can handle.

Ask DLS: best desktop Facebook client? (Download Squad)

Feb 23rd 2010 5:34AM Eric,

You asked for Windows native, but I went on the same quest as you (except for Mac), and had zero luck. The most light-weight solution I've found is a chrome plugin that uses the touch version of FB. I think it has notification support, and it takes almost no resources.

Here's the link: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/lgmalddjnemjklnmenickgmkeehekdbk?hl=en-us

10 web apps you should be running on your Mac with Fluid (Download Squad)

Nov 3rd 2009 10:24AM Here are a few others that play well in fluid:

Blip.fm - I use this as a system menu item, so when I want to change songs, I just click in the system menu and get a nice dropdown.

Friendfeed - I set my user agent as iPhone, so then I get the iPhone version. Not as nice as the original site, but great for a quick check.

Fumbleview - http://fumbleview.com/ - Again, this is great when user agent is set to iPhone. Keeps you up to date with NFL scores.

Weather Underground - http://i.wund.com/auto/iphone - Awesome as a system menu app. Just a quick click shows forecasts, etc

Win a copy of Things for Mac (TUAW.com)

Sep 2nd 2009 11:09PM I use OmniFocus to run my 5 businesses, but I really LOVE Things...and I'm too broke to buy it. Fingers crossed.

An Open Letter to Gmail: Happy Halloween! We love your costume! (AOL Mail Blog)

Nov 1st 2008 10:56AM I second Joe from above. Yes, AOL has a place in internet history, but when I grew up and realized you didn't need AOL to get on the internet (many years ago), I was sent into billing hell! I went for months trying to cancel my service, being told it was canceled, then seeing it on my statement again. You remember this...right AOL? I mean, it made national news.

The time you spent crying to the public to "Look at me..look at me," would have been better spent studying Google and learning a thing or two about service, reliable products, and ease of use.

The editor-in-chief giveaway: Win Ryan Block's gadgets (Engadget)

Aug 23rd 2008 1:16AM Hmmm....not sure I have enough time to decide what I'll keep, and what I'll sell/give away. I already have a Jawbone, so I promise I'll give that to the North Shore Animal League - except I'll probably take the medium ear gel thing because I lost mine, but I'll gladly add my small to their jawbone. I promise. Dogs need love too. :-)

iPhone apps we crave (TUAW.com)

Jul 18th 2008 2:21PM I did a post about this a few days ago. You can find 13 apps I'd love here http://www.listropolis.com/2008/07/13-iphone-apps-that-should-be-in-the-app-store-but-probably-never-will/

Jul 7th 2008 6:13PM Oops. Sorry about the dup.

Outpost to manage your Basecamp projects from iPhone (TUAW.com)

Jul 7th 2008 6:11PM I found 43actions.com a few days ago and it's my new fav. They are planning a native app, but the web version is perfect. Much faster than inozbe, and was inspired by 37signals.
