Ion + More
Probably my favourite lightweight Window Manager for Unix is Ion. Heres a brief interview with the developer.
DrunkenBlog has a wonderfully damning review of a OS X gambling application. Points out all that is wrong in application development.
Jason Kottke has a piece about the new WebOS that seems to be springing up from the likes of Google (their new Sidebar, Mail and IM clients) and Yahoo (Mail and the newly acquired Konfabulator). The WebOS concept was touted back in the early 90's by Netscape as the Microsoft killer - Microsoft promptly woke up to the Internet and rolled out Interner Explorer 4/5 and focussed on content/messaging via their MSN service. The Netscape 'browser as desktop environment' never really saw the light of day.
