PCWorld Reviewers' Favorite Downloads: May 2010In PCWorld Downloads, our reviewers sometimes find fascinating new files...and sometimes develop a fresh appreciation for the tried-and-true. This May, both scenarios played out. We ran across handy little utilities for system tray use and Office improvements. We reviewed tools for DVD-ripping, energy conservation, general tweaks, and more. And with all that work done, we felt fine about relaxing with a physics-based desktop toy and a classic game.

StickyNoteStickyNote is the most popular virtual notes program in the world. With StickyNote 9.0, you can create beautiful 3D notes on your desktop and send them instantly over the Internet or a LAN. StickyNote also enables you to adhere notes to documents or windows and to attach documents to your note. StickyNote eliminates the clutter and confusion of keeping up with the reminders and phone numbers that never seem to be where you left them. Forget jotting down messages and let StickyNote deliver them for you. You can even customize a note's texture, color and priority with a few simple clicks, and you can set an alarm to have notes appear at a certain time or at regular intervals. Managing important information has never been easier!
Net Librarian 8.0Net Librarian is an Internet Search utility which functions like a search engine, but brings back lists of Web sites which match keywords you put in. This saves you the time of waiting to browse each one of these Web sites to see if your keywords are there. (Search engines don't ensure that your keywords are actually on the page.) You can view these at your leisure, and copy and paste topics for your research report or student paper.
