Google Tasks in your Windows 7 Desktop

Most of the time, I end up opening one tab, then another tab... and before I know it, at least 10 tabs are open. Anyway, Google Tasks is now my favorite To Do List (Previously, I liked Remember the Milk) because of its integration to Gmail, and Google Calender and iGoogle.

Registry hack gives Windows XP five more years of updates

Then here’s some good news. It looks like you can score yourself five more years of Windows updates with about 15 seconds worth of work. All it takes is a simple registry edit.
