FBPurity. Cleans all the crap out so you can just see newsfeeds. Essential for the rare time I spend on Facebook.

That's super if you never travel. If you end up in other countries and need a cheap way to call home however Skype is useful.

KDE 4.3 Released 432
Jos Poortvliet writes "After another 6 months of hard work by over 700 people, after fixing over 10,000 bugs and granting 2,000 wishes, KDE 4.3, or 'Caizen,' is here (the release takes its nickname from the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement). The KDE Desktop Workspace introduces, besides the usual stability and speed improvements, new widgets, the ability to 'peek' in a folder with folderview, and activities tied to virtual desktops. The KDE Application Suites feature improvements in the utilities like a more formats supported in Ark and the return of the Linux Infrared Remote Control system. Instant messenger Kopete introduces an improved contact list and KOrganizer can sync with Google Calendar. Kmail supports inserting inline images into email and the Alarm notifier has gained export functionality, drag and drop, and has an improved configuration. The KDE Application Development platform has seen work on integrating the Social Desktop and the new system tray protocol from Freedesktop.org. You can watch a screencast of the Desktop Workspace here."

I dunno, I'm with the parent here. I signed up and I'll be damned if I can figure out why people spend 10 minutes on that site much less the hours and hours people claim to fill their day with on Facebook. Seriously, what do you *do* after logging in?
