WindowFlow Mac OS X keyboard control for your desktop

I’m more of a keyboard shortcut person than mouse user any day of the week and seeing something like WindowFlow that allows for easy control and desktop layout of your typical busy as all get out Mac OS X desktop is more than welcomed.

WindowFlow makes organizing your application windows a breeze:

  • Keyboard commands allow you to smoothly move and resize windows that snap into alignment.
  • Window tiling instantly reorganizes a messy group of overlapping windows to optimally fill your screen.
  • Intuitive window switching gives you an ordered list of windows and a preview of the window on the desktop.
  • Ideal for developers, designers and power users who work from multiple windows.
  • Keyboard junkies will love being able to keep their hands where they are most productive.
  • Optimized for Macs with large or multiple displays.
  • Operates seamlessly in the background, only becoming visible when needed.
  • Highly customizable: re-define the keyboard shortcuts and WindowFlow’s behavior.

WindowFlow comes in Standard Edition and a Pro Edition and currently is 45% off list price.

Cloak Bag - world's first shoot-through camera bag

Part camera bag, part 007 James Bond spygear, the Cloak Bag is actually a cool idea that means that protecting your camera doesn’t equate to missing some shots because you have to unpack, turn on, and then start to shoot. Sometimes, the zippers get in the way or worse… you just miss the shot because the bag is on your hip or on your back and you’re just trying to protect your DSLR.

I know that’s happened to me quite a few times.

Florida design group Naranja Studio released the Cloak™ Bag, the world’s first shoot-through camera bag that allows a user with an SLR camera to take photos without removing the camera from the bag. This ability allows on-the-go photographers to take photos at a moment’s notice and avoid drawing the attention of tourist-targeting thieves. The release of the bag coincided with the launch of its accompanying website, www.cloakbags.com

Made from high-quality nylon, this is seriously, this is an idea that it’s time has come. I could see myself using this while stalking people it’s raining or it’s too sunny outside indeed. Priced at $49 and is available in two attractive colors: a brown called “coffee tree” and a slate gray called “fog & turquoise”.

It was noted that AT&T’s femtocell service was getting closer to launch, but that the company was working out a few last minute kinks and still having some internal discussion about the pricing model the service will use. The service essentially creates a micro cell tower in the home, allowing users to route wireless calls over their in-home broadband network. Users improve reception, and carriers get to take additional load off of their local towers.

There may be people that get their cubicle party on, but I am guessing that pocket-sized mixing decks will mostly be destined for the classrooms of overindulged teenagers – and for lonely adults seeking to entertain themselves. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t approve.

Bernie Arnason over at Telecompetitor makes the argument that with DOCSIS 3.0 relatively inexpensive to quickly deploy (75 million Americans should have it by the end of the year) and many telcos clinging to aging copper last mile connectivity, the cable industry should have it pretty good competitively over the next few years. Comcast added more broadband customers (608K) in the last two quarters than AT&T, Verizon, and Qwest combined (401K), and cable’s triple play continues to gobble up fleeing copper landline customers. Cable also dominates more than 90% of the VoIP market.

Plantation double-aged rum reflects different styles of rum from different Caribbean islands

The sheer mention of rum conjures images of pirates, sugar cane, molasses and the Caribbean. Plantation Rum takes the almost forgotten method of double-aging their finely distilled rums initially in young bourbon casks in the Caribbean then shipped to be later aged in smaller batches in more mature oak casks. This process, once a standard, allows for refinement in their taste for even the most refined tastes.

Even pirates would approve. Found at prices ranging from $38 and higher in rum styles from Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, Nicaragua and other places that are noted for their rum.

AT&T is once again dropping hints that the carrier wants to change (read: increase) wireless data pricing. Many investors have been pressuring the company to ditch the $30 unlimited iPhone data plan and instead replace it with some kind of metered billing model. That’s largely because as carriers begin to open their networks to push IM clients and mobile VoIP, they’ll be losing a lot of money on voice and SMS. The only way to counter those losses will be to charge more money for mobile data. Enter AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, who this week tells Reuters the changes will be coming soon:

Stephenson expects changes in how the wireless industry prices its mobile data services going forward, with heavy data users being charged more. Smartphone users currently pay a monthly fee of about $30 for unlimited data. “For the industry, we’ll progressively move toward more of what I call variable pricing so the heavy (use) consumers will pay more than the lower consumers,” Stephenson said.

What Stephenson calls “variable pricing” is confused by many to mean per-byte billing. While the idea of only paying for what you use sounds great to those not paying attention, the plans AT&T and Verizon actually wind up implementing are very carefully crafted to drive most user bills ever higher. Verizon for instance now offers users the option of paying either $9.95 for a phone data plan with a 25MB cap (20 cents per additional MB, 125 MB maximum), or $30 for “unlimited” (which actually means 5 GB a month) service. This is in addition to SMS, voice, and other monthly fees.
