Mac Dashboard - Snippets of information.

Mac Dashboard - Snippets of information.

I have always loved downloading utilities to make the daily tasks more bearable and to find ways to do those boring desk work.

For example, using a database program to construct a Fax template where I just select the clients and related responses without typing anything. That's just awesome.

Also, little things like downloading a program to check the weather, the world time, rss, delivery etc. The usual things.

Recently, having had to use a Mac for work, there is this clever feature on Safari where you can take snippets off your websites and place it on your desktop or dashboard. What a clever idea. So, rather than downloading the various programs, you can just go to your favorite website, snip the bits that are regularly updated and then put them on your desktop or dashboard. What a clever idea!

Of course there are similar alternatives on the PC, but they are certainly not as fast or as simple or as safe as the one built into the web browser of the Mac. Of course this alone, won't make me switch, well, not yet, but it's damn clever. The only thing is, my dashboard is now cluttered with these snippets and I don't have enough room.
