Mac-Windows-Linux Non-Android Topic

[JuanGil]

I am getting so use to my G1 that when am using my laptop some times I have the need of scroll the screen with my finger like you do in the phone and, since my desktop is getting so full of stuff I start looking for a software like this one: http://articles.directorym.net/A_Not...akland_CA.html to alleviate desktop cluttering, its call DESKLOOPS and does pretty much that, scroll the screen in an infinite loop, NICE hu? the thing is I have found nothing like it for Mac, there is one called DRAGSTRIP by aladdin systems but all the links I found are broken, If some1 knows something please reply.
I put this in here cuz I think we need a new seccion in the forum for Non-android Topics and we can help each other on computer, hardware, software, FTA receivers and more areas. What do you guys think?

OSX has "Expose" and "Spaces" which one can use to see all running applications and assign applications to different virtual workspaces (much like X11 and CDE users make use of).

Indeed, and various *nix window managers have the scale/expose functionality.

yeah I like expose and spaces but still want to be able to scroll the screen or desktop and drag folder from one side to the other or have an open folder and grab a file. with expose you can only switch windows, same with spaces.

Actually you can drag programs, folders, etc from space to space. Say you have 4 spaces. Upper left is number 1, right is number 2, etc. Drag a folder or running program to the right of the screen and the number 2 space will open and you can drop it there.

On Linux you can use Compiz to have a "scrolling cube". It works really well:
