Everyone must face the problem of enlarging small picture files and hence face quality issues.  Most image editors make an attempt to smooth and sharpen, and some add a bit of “noise” to enlarged images. However, SmillaEnlarger works differently then traditional software’s  as it take tiny bitmap files and turn them into usable, full-size images. According to test conducted by Andrew Brandt:

To test the app, I took some screenshots of standard-sized application and file icons in Windows. A typical icon image is 32 by 32 pixels when displayed at desktop resolutions of 72 dpi–pretty small and, when you enlarge them, they look pretty chunky, like billboards made of Lego bricks. SmillaEnlarger’s algorithm does a remarkable job of turning even an incredibly minute bitmap into something close to a blurry snapshot. While this is the full extent of its abilities, you might want to keep SmillaEnlarger in your digital imagery toolkit for a photographic rainy day.

Fishbowl is an awesome Facebook Desktop Client App for Window users just like Seesmic and TweetDeck are for twitter. Fishbowl lets you Experience your Facebook content in new ways with a desktop client application that lets you personalize how you read your newsfeed, update status, comment, like, browse and upload photos. Fishbowl Mini-mode offers an unobtrusive way to stay connected and offers Seamless integration with Facebook’s web so you are always just a click away. Fishbowl offers fluid, snappy user interface and let you to navigate photos quickly. You can simply drag & drop photos into Fishbowl to have these published to Facebook. Users of Fishbowl can sit back and watch a full screen slideshow to see your albums. According to DownloadSquad:

Since the app is built by Microsoft’s own people, it makes perfect sense that Fishbowl takes advantage of Windows 7’s superbar. The preview thumbnail also includes controls for jumping between pages or opening the Facebook homepage…Which is where the one real downside to Fishbowl appears.

If you’ve gotten used to browsing Facebook using Chrome or Firefox, be prepared for some slowness. Fishbowl is likely using IE8’s rendering engine, so opening external web content is going to feel slow. You can, however, force such links to open in your web browser – just click the gear menu and check the appropriate box.

You can also switch color schemes, though that only effects the bar across the top of the window. Still, if you’ve got a nice, dark Aero Glass scheme set up, you might want to flip Fishbowl to Dark as well.

Fishbowl System Requirements

Operating system: Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (32-bit edition only), Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit editions), Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit editions), or Windows Server 2008.

Processor: 1 GHz or higher for Windows 7 or Windows Vista; 800 MHz or higher for Windows XP.

Memory: 1 GB of RAM for Windows 7 or Windows Vista; 512 MB for Windows XP.

Internet connection: Internet functionality requires dial-up or broadband Internet access (provided separately). Local or long-distance charges may apply.

Graphics or video card: A video card that supports DirectX 9.0 or higher, and Shader Model 2.0 or higher.
