The DeskAngel is an application intended to extend the use of your mouse and keyboard. This means getting more done with fewer keystrokes or mouse clicks.

Most of the other features like Edge Snap, Roll, and Screen Clipping are already available through Windows 7. If you … Read more

After testing this sleek, straightforward browser, we were ready to get rid of our current, more popular browser, and make The World Browser our default.

The user interface looks professionally designed, with self-explanatory command buttons at the top of the window. Below that are shortcuts to all of your bookmark categories.

We especially liked the tab preview option for displaying all of your open tabs on one … Read more
