EarthDesk 4.0

EarthDesk 4.0 has just been released, and it looks good. EarthDesk is a clever little app (for Mac and Windows) that puts a map of the Earth on your desktop. 'I can just put an image of the Earth on my desktop, so who cares,' you say. Oh, silly reader, EarthDesk does more than just put a static image on your desktop, rather it turns your desktop into a live snapshot of the Earth. That's right, it updates the image to show current conditions, and best of all you can set the update interval.

This release also includes an overhauled UI and movement of the entire app into a preference pane. EarthDesk is a Universal Binary, requires OS X 10.4, QuickTime 6.5.2+, and costs $19.95 for a single user.

Tip of the Day

Customize your desktop. While in the Finder, control-click (right-click) and choose 'Show View Options'. A box will appear allowing you to change the size of desktop icons, their spacing, text size and the position of icon labels.
