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.

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 key words you enter. This saves you the time of waiting to browse each of these Web sites to see whether your key words are there. (Search engines don't ensure that your key words are actually on the page) You can view these at your leisure, and copy and paste topics for your research report or student paper.
