Smartphones can do just about anything these days, including conducting a sonogram on an expectant mama!

If you don't want a wallpaper that distracts you, consider checking out Simple Desktops — a site Read more
The Dell Inspiron Zino HD is the latest colorful release from the PC company. Slightly bigger than a Mac Mini, the Zino starts at $230, and runs on Microsoft's Windows Vista.

Beautiful home, beautiful woman, and she appears to know it: She has a portrait of herself above her bed, and to my surprise, a rather glam digital portrait of herself on her computer's desktop, seen here. I have put photos of myself and other people on my desktop, but I don't think I would like to see Read more
I love seeing the offices of design mavens because they inevitably have some fabulous desktop wallpaper on the screen for the photo op, always something that complements the rest of the design of the office. Case in point: Making it Lovely's Nicole shared her office recently, and my eye gravitated immediately to her Mac and the art on her desktop, the colors of which coordinate with the dominant Read more
I love to customize! From getting my BlackBerry engraved at the TechCrunch/Popsugar shindig in LA, to downloading some pretty wild wallpaper to bring out my inner animal and make me feel at home while I'm at the office. I do all I can to show my personality and prevent desktop boredom, even when it comes to my gadgets, which is why I switch it up and get down with cool (and free!) desktop icons Read more
I haven't purchased a desktop in the past ten years. Considering how much I love to travel and the type of work I do I can't imagine having to sit in the same place every time I use the computer. Still, I completely understand that some people need the added memory and "power" of a desktop. That being said, the popularity of wireless Internet, docking stations and affordable laptops have made Read more
Accessory makers are churning out plushies — small stuffed animals or characters — so fast that even the most serious fanatic can't keep up. While I don't see any purpose in collecting regular plushies, I have fallen for the cell phone holders, which make fun desktop accessories. I'm currently in love with the Plushie cell phone holder by Bale Living. It comes in pink, blue, green and orange Read more
If you haven't guessed it already, I'm a huge National Geographic fan. I've already discussed how you can download the free National Geographic POD that will update your background with a new National Geographic image each day. Well National Geographic has just added more stunning high resolution photography wallpapers to their collection. From adventure and exploration to science and space Read more
It's not everyday I come across fun customization accessories for desktops, but rest assured they do exist. Just like these colorful iMac covers by ChroMac which wrap around the outside of your white iMac.

Each cover is Read more
