How To Open Files And Folders With A Single Click

I never liked double clicking on anything. It's somewhat of a hassle to click on something more than once... Okay, maybe it's not really all that important. I've honestly always used double clicking for files and folders. However, if you are someone who would like to be able to open any file or folder in Windows 7 with a single click, this is a great video for you! I have to give a huge Thanks to Matthew Sabia for doing this guest video for my YouTube channel, he's one of my favorite screencasters on YouTube and this one is as great as I've come to expect from him.

Non iPad Tablets: Just Stop

The iPad has won. It's over. Why other companies still want to continue making tablets that are unresponsive, useless, and just bad is a mystery. It seems that Apple are the only people who can make touch screens, as all, repeat all of the non-Apple touch screens I have tried have been really really awful. 

The other issue of course when you have a tablet is what OS you have and honestly, again Apple easily triumphs. They came up with the whole app idea, Android has less Apps, and even with the new Gingerbread update, it still won't cut it.

Besides, the Apple UI is just so much nicer. Nice little icons, whereas Android has several different screen layouts and is, let's face it, pretty disorganised. So if hardware wise AND software wise other tablets are not up to standard, the other companies should just save the effort and try to innovate and invent something new for once.

Apple are always the company who come out with the revolutionary ideas, and everybody steals them. Windows 7 is basically a really bad, virus filled version of Mac OS X and to honest, I'm surprised Apple haven't launched a big lawsuit against Windows yet. I'm not an Apple fanboy in any way, but I do think they easily make the best products (even though a few, like the new Nano, are horrible to be polite). My message to other companies is simple, to recap: INNOVATE and DON'T STEAL.

Cinch: Easy window management for Mac OS X

I use my Mac every day. I'm constantly viewing multiple web pages and documents. Resizing each window used to be such a headache, until a friend recommended Cinch.

This Irradiated Software production is a simple and intuitive solution to window management on Mac OS X. Simply move the application window to either the left or right screen edge to fill the corresponding half of the screen. Or, to make a window fullscreen, just drag and hold it to the top side of your screen. When you see the grey box expand (indicating the new size), simply let go and the window will resize; simple as that! When you're done, simply drag the 'Cinched' window away from the screen edge and it'll return to its normal size.

Cinch can be found at Irradiated Software's website for the amazing price of $7. Not convinced by my description? Download the free trial and you'll soon see how useful this little tool is.

Thanks for reading. If you liked this post, be sure to check out my personal blog, thanks.

Windows 7 Review

Apologies if I am repeating anything, I just wanted to get my own personal opinions across.

So I've had Windows 7 for near-enough a week now, and I thought it was about time I reviewed the Operating-System that Windows claims to be "Vista but Faster".

There are very few problems for me to discuss, but I am a person who enjoys getting the negatives across first. When Windows 7 first installed, the 'icon tray' was using a different setting than what Vista used, it was in a drop-down box. Personally, I thought this was horrible and changed it right away - but the good news is, that's the only bad thing i've encountered!!

It takes a while to get used to the OS, but overall I think it's a fantastic improvement on Windows Vista (That said, I never had any massive problems with Vista in the first place). I think that Aero is a beautiful design, and now that it has been implemented correctly, it does not cause any lag and this, for me, gets a massive thumbs up!

Another thing, probably the most noticeable change, is the task-bar. The new task-bar is very different to what Windows users are used to. It uses images but with no text, and in my opinion this works very well. You can also pin programs/folders to the task-bar in order to access them quickly in the future - which is very useful. I can see similarities to a Mac Dock in the new task-bar, but that said it is still very, very different. If you right-click on the programs that are running, you will get a mini-menu (depending on the program) which gives you some options you can use quickly without even displaying the window. Take iTunes for example, if I right-click on it I am displayed with a 'Recently Played' section, with about 6 songs that I can quickly play right from that very menu. Pretty cool if you ask me! Programs running multiple times, or that have multiple windows are also grouped now - and if you hover over it you will be shown the windows that are running - which is useful. One simply, yet cool thing that I have discovered very recently is that, say you are installing a program and you minimize it to the task-bar. The task-bar icon has the progress bar on it - which is like a green bar going across it as a transparent overlay, and this is another very very useful feature.

Basic Windows programs have been upgraded also. I have recently used Microsoft Paint and I must say its revamp is superb! Basic features have been added which make it so much more user-friendly, and I enjoyed using it. Created a not-so-bad image too, but don't expect it to compare with the likes of Photoshop!

So overall I love Windows 7 and I'm very glad I upgraded - Congrats on a brilliant OS Microsoft!
