Listphile is a powerful tool for organizing and collaborating around structured information. Call it a database tool, if you will (but please don’t scare anyone away).
Listphile was borne of curiosity, and the belief that we learn more effectively when we have a framework for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
It is my intention that Listphile will be used in ambitious and open ways: make a publicly shared database of all baseball players who ever played in the Major Leagues. It is also my dream that Listphile will be used for humanitarian purposes: create a list of journalists who are currently imprisoned, or a list of peace treaties. Listphile can just as easily be used to document vintage Nike sneakers, or to create an Open Surf Atlas of all surf spots on the planet, or document all of the beers in the world.

When you set up an ajaxWindows
computer you’ll have the ability to sync essential data from your
existing computer to create your virtual PC in its likeness.
Core information like documents, bookmarks, contacts, wallpaper, and
even your music can be copied to your ajaxWindow’s computer. This is a
handy way to backup your files even if you’re not interested in a
virtual computer.

You will also be able to completely customize ajaxWindows.
For instance you can select the default search engine, homepage, and
webmail you prefer. My goal is to have a desktop experience that lets
you combine the best of all net resources into one seamless experience.

Free advertising for these folks. I tested it, and I must say it’s a compelling alternative to XP/Vista. Seriously. However, it’s obviously not suitable for any level of power-use.
