Gears of War 3 beta: The rundown (Joystiq)

Apr 15th 2011 7:54PM Ah dear, do want.. Can haz code? Tried sticking enough tweeted ones in, that's for sure.

I probably shouldn't say it, but I needed to log into my then-girlfriend's account (legit reason) and was made to complete this 'click on pictures of friends you know' authentication method. God, did I pass ridiculously easily. I was also made to do it when I moved over here, as it was a new location.

Hands on with Fring, the all-in-one VoIP and IM app for Android (Download Squad)

Jun 11th 2010 8:53PM Fring pissed me off enough to uninstall it. No Fring, I don't want you to start up without my consent every time I turn on my phone. Nor do I like your interface.

eBuddy have a nice IM client, but I use Nimbuzz. By far the most likeable for me. I'd go into reasons, but it's 2AM and I'm getting back into bed..

The life-changing list of keyboard shortcuts for Windows users (Download Squad)

Apr 30th 2010 11:01PM Probably my 2 most used shortcuts, these. Never knew about Win+D and hadn't remembered F6 in yonks. God, Ctrl+L swiftly followed by a quicksearch is the bee's knees..

Well, that's a lie.. Ctrl+T, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+C/V are too, alongside countless others. Holding Shift in during other shortcuts to go backwards through things is a godsend. Middle Click (mouse3) to open a link in a new tab.

A handy one is Alt+F-W-F to make a new folder in Explorer. Doesn't work if you've got something beginning with F in your templates though.

Ctrl+J for the Firefox downloads box.

This isn't listed and is unfortunately awkward - Ctrl-Alt-F to select the search bar in iTunes.. Wish I got the hang of that, or could change it to Ctrl+K. :(

If you code HTML, Zen Coding will change your life (Download Squad)

Apr 30th 2010 9:55PM You know, I very rarely have any need for coding, but this looks fantastic for when I do.. Wish I knew some people in 'real life' who would benefit from it.
