Jonatan Castro not only has a great website but he also has some incredible skills at designing computer icons. Believe it or not, the three images here are icons and not photos (or photos converted into icons) of the actual products represented. If you want to use these icons here for your computer, you can download them all for free at Jonatan’s website.

I’ve been reading a few things about maximizing productivity while using a computer and one of the more simple and useful tricks I’ve learned is to use the desktop as a daily temporary dump space. This means that at the end of the day (or session), I try my hardest to get rid of everything on my desktop except for my Time Machine, My HDD, and an extra folder I’ve designated to sit on my desktop called “TO MOVE”.
This forces me to actually make good use of the folders already in place on my computer that are there to help me keep my digital files organized. It seems trivial, but believe it or not, this single tip is by far the most important workflow tool I’ve gained in the past couple of years. Plus, it’s nice to close my windows at the end of the day and not be bombarded by an overflow of unorganized icons.

Chuck Anderson of NOPATTERN was an excellent choice by Microsoft to design the fabulous default desktop, login screen, and packaging design for Windows 7.
Check out the images below and see the NOPATTERN website for more detailed info.

I posted earlier about RIM finally releasing the BlackBerry Desktop Software for the Mac and here is what I think about it: FINALLY! WHAT THE HELL TOOK SO LONG?! I can finally backup my phone data without having to run a virtual operating system. I don’t understand why RIM only saw it fit to release a Mac client now when there have always been BlackBerry users on Mac operating systems.

Gizmodo has all 35 new Apple Snow Leopard desktop images for viewing. Apple actually includes several images of snow leopards in their next OS release along with some neat hi-res images of famous works of art.
Gizmodo’s gallery seems to be a bit wonky, so if you want to download the images in hi-res, you can do so here.
