| -ADVERTISEMENT- | |  | | | | | | | | |  | Review: Chameleon Window Manager has many features and a few too many bugs 04.29.2013 12:16 PM Chameleon Window Manager is powerful, but it's also confusing, cluttered, and inconsistent. | | | |  | IBM launches an appliance for the 'Internet of things' 04.29.2013 12:35 PM Preparing its customers to join the emerging 'Internet of things', IBM has released a new appliance built to manage and route a voluminous amount of machine-to-machine small data messages | | | |  | Bigger Nexus tablet would need more than better specs 04.29.2013 12:43 PM Samsung is reportedly waiting for Google's approval to build a Nexus 11 tablet, with an 11-inch display, octa-core Exynos processor, and MicroSD slot for up to 64 GB of expandable storage. | | | |  | Review: Whip windows into shape with WindowSpace's keyboard shortcuts 04.29.2013 12:46 PM Chameleon Window Manager is not the only way to achieve exact control over your windows, however. Instead of focusing on a window's behavior when it's opened, WindowSpace grants you the ability to intricately control windows with dozens of customizable keyboard shortcuts. These range from your regular window-snapping and moving windows between monitors, to fine-tuning a window's position on the screen, resizing, rolling up, transparency toggles, and almost anything else you can dream of. Aside from keyboard shortcuts, WindowSpace can enhance each window's title bar with additional context menu items and mouse actions. These, too, are pretty flexible, letting you decide which menu items you want to add, and even how you want them to appear in the context menu. In addition, you can set title-bar buttons such as the close, minimize and maximize to perform new actions when right-clicked or middle-clicked. Unlike most other window managers, WindowSpace takes the focus off simple window-snapping, providing only elementary features in that arena, and instead sets its sights on giving you the best control possible over your windows. In WindowSpace, the Snapping tab is all about your windows' behavior when they're moved next to each other. Will they automatically snap to each other, or will they overlap, making it harder to place them side by side? In other words, WindowSpace makes it easy for you to arrange your windows however you want, but doesn't necessarily do it for you. The program's lack of real interface could be confusing at first, as is the amount of settings you need to read and go through before you can even start setting things up, but if fine-tuned control is what you're looking for, WindowSpace is a solid option. It costs $25 after a 30-day free trial. | | | |  | China's unique PC buying trends revealed in survey 04.29.2013 1:52 PM China took the title of world's largest market for PCs in 2012, and a survey by IHS iSuppli revealed that computer buyers in the country had unique preferences compared to counterparts worldwide. | | | |  | Take our mobile survey and you might win an iPad mini 04.29.2013 1:54 PM We're running our annual Global Mobile Survey, quizzing you on your mobile device habits and media consumption.

You just have to be willing to spend some time and $50 to get there. Divided into 9 different tabs, Actual Window Manager offers everything from specific window settings, a customized set of title bar buttons, and a configurable desktop grid for dragging and snapping windows, to dozens of keyboard shortcuts, window mirrors, virtual desktops, and to top it all off, a flexible Start-menu replacement. Unlike most Start-menu replacements out there, Actual Window Manager has the option to add just a Start button, and have the new Windows 8 Starts screen pop out of it, full size or half size. The program supports multiple monitors ably, giving you full control of multiple taskbars and their content, and even going as far as wallpaper setting, resolution controls, and other options you would normally control through Windows's native settings. Actual Window Manager includes more options than I could use in a year, and the confusing interface doesn't make these easier to discover, but you can rest assured: It's all there. All you need is the will to spend $50, the need for such an abundance of features, and the patience to figure them all out. The 60-day free trial could help you there. | | | |  | AU Optronics executive sentenced for LCD price-fixing 04.29.2013 3:10 PM A former executive with AU Optronics was sentenced Monday to serve two years in prison and pay a $50,000 fine for participating in a worldwide LCD screen price-fixing conspiracy, the U.S. Department of Justice said. | | | | |
