This Win XP cheat can be used to impress your friends with. Close all applications, then open Minesweeper, type xyzzy, then hold down the Shift key for a second. Now when you move your mouse over the cells, you will see either a white or black pixel in the top left of your desktop... white means no mine, black means mine (you might adjust your wallpaper to see this). Works like a charm... [Via XP Secrets.]

You can also play Minesweeper online...

Blish is a marketplace where you can buy and sell all kinds of stuff... but it’s only digital stuff (like audio files, or videos). Interesting concept with a clean layout.

Gary points out the Google Personalized Homepage is now also available for certain mobile phones. Just point your phone to “www.google.com/ig/mobile”. It crashed my mobile Opera and didn’t work on my Nokia default browser either, but you might want to give it a try with your phone...

Also see Google Modules, where you can add modules to your personalized Google homepage (at least the desktop version).
