Windows/Linux: Free, open source application GmailAssistant monitors multiple Gmail accounts and alerts you of new mail. The application can monitor anything from your inbox to specific labels, so you can get very granular about what you want to be notified of. The biggest drawback is that GmailAssistant does not support Google Apps on your domain, but if you've only got Gmail.com accounts, that won't matter. Aside from that, GmailAssistant is highly customizable for individual accounts and works like a charm. GmailAssistant is free, Windows and Linux only, requires Java. If you prefer to keep your alerts in the browser or you want support for Google Apps addresses, check out the Gmail Manager Firefox extension.

Internet auctions often turn up interesting items being found hidden within the original item sold. Last month, a laptop bought on eBay had a DVD containing Secret Service information hidden under the keyboard and the machine itself was encrypted to smithereens. That turned out well, but itÂ’s not always harmless data storage devices that surface.

Brazen Careerist blogger Penelope Trunk describes her experiences in finding a mentor whose knowledge and perspective complement and augment her own—but more importantly, how she kept the relationship from dwindling. One of her key successes in maintaining a mentor came from the man himself:The first time I asked Chris, "What should I be asking you now?" I felt silly. After all, it's a line he fed me. But now I use it with him all the time, and it's actually an invitation for him to tell me what he thinks I'm missing, which is information I wouldn't get if I directed the conversation the whole time.Trunk also advises only contacting your mentors when you know it's easy for them to talk, and keeping them up to date on your career position. How do you successfully utilize a mentor without seeming like a time drain? Share your story in the comments.

My dearest Lifehacker reader: We're at the midway point of this glorious year 2008, so it's time for a check-in. We want to know what you'd like to get more and less of from us on these pages, so we've put together an unscientific survey that should take less than 30 seconds of your time. After the jump, if you please, help us plot the course of this editorial ship through the rest of the year and beyond. Don't think too hard about each of these statements, just check off the ones that make you go "YES!" in your head. Check off all (and only) the things you'd like to see more or less of on Lifehacker. ( polls) We know you've stuck with us through technical problems and posts that were (ahem) less popular than others so far this year—and we thank you for hanging in there with us, and making Lifehacker the best community of smart people on the internet. If you've got more to sa read more »
