How To Install And Configure Cairo Dock In Ubuntu Intrepid
http://maketecheasier.com –
Cairo dock is a Mac OSX dock-like application that you can install in your Linux machine. One of the advantage that it has over other docks is that it does not require any compositing window manager to work. Even on a low-end PC, it will still work fine. This is not possible for docks like Avant Window Navigator which depends on compositing manager (such as Compiz) to function.

KDE 4.2 Review From Inside Out. Part 2: Applications
http://adymo.blogspot.com –
It is so good to see that a lot of work during KDE4 development went into improving the quality of the user experience. Unlike their KDE3 counterparts, the best KDE4 applications are definitely more user-oriented. Despite being a developer, I enjoy this as much as every other person would.

We will definitely see even more performance improvements in the future.
