A Couple of Cool Windows Aero Tricks

You have to be using Windows 7 to use these.

Flip 3D. This trick is way cooler than Alt+Tab: holding down the Windows key while repeatedly pressing Tab visually flips you through your open windows. (See Figure 2.) To flip backward, hold down the Shift key, too.

Shake. Click and hold the title bar of your main window on the screen, and then “shake” it with your mouse to minimize or restore all other windows. This shortcut lets you focus on the task at hand. It works like the Windows key + Home combination.

Problem Solved

Train cellphoneA problem solved by one young lady.
 
Have you ever felt like strangling one of those ‘loud mouthed’ cell phone users who seem to sit near you in a restaurant or any other place and forcibly share their private call with you.
 
Here’s one solution, provided by a commuter on how to combat this display of bad manners.
 
After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: “Hi sweetheart it’s Eric, I’m on the train – yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting – no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life – yes, I’m sure, cross my heart” etc., etc.
 
Fifteen minutes later at St. Anne de Bellevue he was still talking loudly , when the  young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice:
 
 “Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!”
 
My guess would be that Eric doesn’t use his cell phone in public any longer.
