Outlook on the Desktop is an application that takes your Microsoft Outlook calendar information and displays it on you desktop, along with all the events and tasks so you can see them all at any time.
The calendar is shown with transparency in the center of the screen and you can insert task and appointments without opening Outlook, which is great.
You configure it to show the inbox, calendar, tasks, among other components.

Today Mozilla released the final version of Firefox 3.0.
I was trying to get access to their ftp’s but all of them were full of users downloading it. It was until some minutes ago that i noticed they changed their site to reflect their new release. They changed graphics and other stuff on the homepage.
Now, everyone can access the download links and also read all about the new features, which too many to talk about them here.
The most promising features are what they call the Awesome Bar and the memory management and performance issues that were present since 1.x versions.
Update: PortableApps.com has already released the portable version of Firefox 3.0. Get it here.
Important: Before you upgrade to this new version, make sure you know all the extensions you use because you will need to install them later. It could be helpful to write them down if you have too many.

From the makers of Comodo Firewall Pro comes this great free backup application.
With Comodo Backup, you can make copies of your data, use incremental or full backups.
The scheduling capabilities are great because you can make backup sets that run in different time intervals to make sure you have everything up to date and copied only as often as you want.
The feature i like the most is Synchronization, because it can monitor folders for changes and make backups as soon as something changes. This way you can maintain folders, external or network drives up to date with the information you need on them without worrying to run a backup set.
