Seven Free and Useful Web Finds

4. Portable Apps: Your Entire Computer in Your Pocket

Are you constantly finding yourself logging onto other computers without any of the important information -- passwords, programs, documents -- you need? Now you can carry your favorite applications along with all of your bookmarks, settings, e-mail and more in a USB drive no bigger than your thumb. PortableApps is an open-source platform, which means it works with any hardware you desire -- an iPod, a portable hard drive, or a USB drive shaped like a piece of sushi. It works on any Windows computer (no Mac version, unfortunately), without leaving any personal data behind.
