I recently discovered a new tool that will turn your desktop in a 3D cube just like the cube for Linux. Basically it gives you three virtual desktops so if your one desktop is cluttered you can move space to the other one and work on it that way. This is the 3D cube for Linux. Now you can do the EXACT same thing with Windows Vista and XP. This is what the 3D Cube looks like for Vista. This is the system requirements for Deskspace

The minimum system requirements for DeskSpace are:

  • Windows XP, Windows XP x64, Windows Vista, or Windows Vista x64.
  • 800 Mhz CPU.
  • 256 MB RAM.
  • 16 MB DirectX 8.1 compatible video card *.

* Minimum ATI Radeon 7200 or nVidia GeForce 2 required. Video cards based on the nVidia TNT2, ATI Rage Pro/128, and Intel Extreme chipsets may work, but are not supported.

This tool is available at the following link:  Click here to download. I do think that this application is pretty helpful to other people.

I went to go turn on my zune earlier today or yesterday. when I turned it on I saw the loading screen but it was stuck around about 10% and it looked like this      ZuneLoad-Better.

Then I put it face down on my desk and after I did that and flipped it back up I received this ZuneWait-Better . I’d say its like the blue screen on windows.

Now it was stuck like that for some time and as it was like that my Zune got more hot temperature wise. I tried to restart my Zune while it was like that BUT no luck it wouldn’t turn off or restart itself. So I tried to plug in the USB Sync cable and each time I did that I didn’t hear the connected sound but if I unplugged it I heard the disconnected sound. When it was plugged in, it would change my default speaker to this high definition audio which I have no clue why. So I unplugged it and the cable smelled of smoke or fire. I had no idea why it smelled like that so I kept experimenting with it. after about one hour or 20 minutes I cant remember the battery died and when I tried to power on the Zune again it would show the Low battery sign which looks something like this Image on Zunerama.com

Once I saw that I thought that my Zune was unfrozen and would charge properly. So there I go and plug in the sync cable into my USB slot and into the Zune bottom slot. It shows that the battery is charging and it shows the charging symbol but my screen doesn’t stay on. My screen turns off then on. and finally… what happens after that is FIRE! I see a bright orange/red color coming from my Zunes USB port on the bottom and I see smoke so I QUICKLY Unplugged the USB Connecter from the zune and the fire goes away leaving my sync cable having a burn mark on it which looks something like this ZuneFire-better

There was a burn mark on the bottom of my Zune’s USB port as well which I will try and get a picture of later. I was so freaked out about this and I think my Zune battery/Hard Drive got burned.
