I would love to have, in windows, the launcher calculator, like spotlight has in OS X.

Surely there's a non-flatbed option though?

Vote: Audition

+1 for VLC and +1 for Songbird

+1 for Zotero as a research assistant. I haven't used Mendeley, but Zotero sure can organize some sources and generate citations. Plus, now you can use it independently of Firefox.

Is there a tool specifically built only for the purpose of cleaning out the context menu?

Someone should just invent a bacon toaster: you pop the bacon in, and out it comes, all nice and bacon!

Not *exactly* on topic but... I heard a rumor that the new Windows 8 will have some more interesting ways to connect with the Xbox360. Does anybody know about that?

I use Windows, and a little while ago I did a write-up of all the apps I could find out there for writing scripts, stage-plays, screenplays and the like. There is a surprisingly large number of options out there for that. [nocategories.net]

Thank you!

I gotta vote for the Google Books store. It lets you download many of the books, for use on your favorite gizmo, but also their cloud-based reader is pretty decent.

If I'm from out-of-town, I just want to save a buck. I don't really care about accumulating things in a place I'm only visiting.

I love Calibre too, and it can do everything this can do and lots more. Hamster looks nice though, where I really think that Calibre could benefit from some usability and look-and-feel improvements.

It's planned obsolescence, I'm afraid.

Hey Mike, great idea for a website! I agree though: more categories will be helpful. I'd like to second platypus man's vote for a hard drive category. I wanted to look for an internal hard drive.

I agree. If this exact desktop came in a dark version, I would love it. I like the minimalism, but not the white.

If this thing would also post to a whole bunch of other classified sites, then it would be extra awesome.
