Some people say the cool 3D effects in Vista are a waste of resources. Others, like me, live for them. If you fit into the same category as me, you'll probably drool over this little application that lets you add a very cool 3D "cube" effect (similar to Ubuntu's Beryl or the effect you get when you switch users on OS X). It's not free, but there is a 14 day trial version so you can try it out and decide whether it's worth the $19.95.

As laptops become more and more integrated into people's personal and professional lives, importance of their reliability keeps getting more important. Most of us have to deal with consequences of a laptop falling out of it's bag or spilled coffee on laptop keyboards etc. This results in lost productivity, or worse, loss of important data. A robust laptop is a vital tool in a modern information age.
While most manufacturers try to make their laptops immune to such accidents, very few have this as their primary focus. Specialist manufacturers provide a spectrum of "semi-rugged" to "rugged" to "bullet-proof" laptops. For more information on what makes a laptop "rugged" click on the link below.
