MondoMouse for Mac OS X – What I’ve been missing for resizing windows

As a recent Mac switcher I love my Mac, but it’s always annoyed me that I have to move the mouse all the way across the screen to the bottom right-hand side of windows just to resize them. Despite all the other areas where Mac OS X is far better than any version of Windows, this always has seemed like a design flaw of OS X.

However, no more am I frustrated, because I just discovered MondoMouse by atomicbird. This add-on gives you hot key access to drag and resize windows from any nearest edge of any window. Very neat, and just what I was looking for!

Windows 7 launch party? I don’t think so.

I keep getting emails from Microsoft encouraging me to host a Windows 7 launch party at home with my friends. I don’t think so. Sorry Bill. Sorry Steve. That would be the equivalent of having my friends round to remove each others eyeballs with a blunt stick.

Microsoft’s Pink aiming to be iPhone killer?

Microsoft have lagged behind in the mobile phone OS market, Windows Mobile in all it’s current and prior incarnations is just a shoddy mess in terms of usability for a small form factor device. ‘Pink’ looks like an evolution from Danger’s Sidekick (who they bought out recently), which most likely they’ll also completely hose when they stuff the next version of Windows Mobile 7 into it. Time will tell.
