I have almost completely given up on organizing the files and folders on my hard drive. There are just so many files that accumulate before I have a chance to clean up and organize them. Certain folders, like my Desktop and Downloads folders, are always filled up with stuff that I don’t even remember putting there.

That’s where Folder Tidy comes in handy. As you can probably guess by its name, it is an app that can help you organize your existing files neatly into folders. How does it do it? Let’s take a look!

Getting Started

Folder Tidy isn’t a very complex app, but what it does is truly genius. Basically, you just point it to a disorganized folder, then point it to a new folder where you want to store your organized files. It´ll then take over and will do all the cleaning work for you. It will arrange the existing files into corresponding new folders by file type, saving you all that time that you would have spent separating each file from the rest.

It can even get much more specific, if you want it to. That’s what’s great about it: it is ready to clean up anything the first time you launch it, but it is also very customizable and can become a powerful tool without getting too complicated.

If you’re not aware, the @BreakingNews account on Twitter is one of the speediest at getting the latest worldwide breaking news to the masses. It’s quite impressive to see how far along it has come. Since MSNBC acquired the service in 2010, it keeps getting better.

The team has launched a new version of its iOS app, but more importantly, its first iPad version.

Here’s what Breaking News had to say about it today:

The new universal app offers a broader range of real-time updates than you’ll see on @breakingnews on Twitter, with push alerts, story tracking and a real-time map of breaking stories. And as always, it’s powered by our 24/7 team of journalists, who select and verify stories in real-time.

Take a look at the service in all of its iPad glory:

For those of you not on an iPad, the app has gotten some nice design tweaks for your iPhone. It’s definitely worth the update.

chrome-20-browser-released-64-bit-linux-flash

If your new MacBook is having kernel panics, or you’re forced to run a 32-bit browser in Linux because you need Flash, Google’s brought relief with version 20 of Chrome. While acting sheepish about “yet another release,” the Chrome Blog said “hundreds of bugs” were fixed, including a MacBook resource leak issue which was temporarily patched by disabling some GPU features. Also, Linux users will finally get full 64-bit support for Flash with Adobe’s PPAPI “Pepper” version, but since it was made exclusively for Chrome, Penguin users will be stuck with that browser if they want the feature. To get it, check the source after the br… oh, right, background update. Nevermind.
