Bump Top is a 3D desktop environment which aims to provide user an interface to manage desktop which is close to real desk. Bump Top converts your desktop into a 3D environment where you can play around with the icons, pile up similar files,  and do hell lot of stuff using well defined gestures. Though Bump Top works on normal desktops & laptops, it’s more usable & intuitive on touch screen tablets. Have a look at this video which can give you an idea about Bump Top:

Acquisition by Google:

Google has acquired Bump top few days ago. There is no clear picture about what Google is going to do with it. First thing which comes to my mind is Chrome OS, next Android & then rumored tablet from Google! Definitely, Google isn’t really interested in the product & more interested in technology which it can use in it’s various products. As a result of this acquisition Bump Top will no longer be available to download, after a week.

So, this is your last chance to download and try it out if you haven’t yet done. Download it over here and have fun playing with your desktop!

I have been using Windows Seven from few days. For those who (still) don’t know about Windows Seven, it’s the successor of Windows Vista. Seven looks a lot better than all other windows including XP. I am completely using it on my laptop. Seven simplifies lot of things which used to be pain before with old OSs.

On fresh installation of windows seven, with no PC Suite installed, no drivers installed, I simply connected Nokia N97 to check what happens. Voila!! Seven automatically detects the phone & gives a pop up with options to add music, browse pictures, browse files…etc. This makes life hell lot simpler!!
