Indie(independently developed) games generally don’t become extremely popular because of their rather limited budget and small-scale advertising. Last year, two very big indie games changed things around. Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Minecraft. Both have been huge hits, with Minecraft having sold 1.15 million + licenses currently, and it’s still in beta.

Apps for Windows: Get weather information in Windows 7 Taskbar using WeatherBar

<Category: Apps for Windows, Microsoft, Windows, Windows 7> No comment

In my opinion, the new taskbar or Superbar in Windows 7 is probably the best feature in the operating system. Jumplists and lively taskbar buttons have really given developers opportunities to create excellent widgets, even better than what you can get with the Windows Gadgets platform. Some widgets we have covered in the past include a Gmail notifier, 7Stacks, StandaloneStack and Taskbar Meters. Lee Matthews from Download Squad has covered a taskbar widget called WeatherBar which puts weather information in the taskbar. WeatherBar uses tasbkar overlays, jumplists and taskbar button progress bar to show information at just a glance.

You’ll have to admit that Google Buzz is quickly becoming interesting. It’s a way to share content with your Gmail friends. But, it is tied to Gmail, so it’s tied to your web browser. For some users, they can live with it. But what if your Buzz and Gmail account aren’t the same? What if you want Google Buzz to be more of an application then just a browser tab?
