    One of mine is the snipping tool that comes with Windows 7. It’s brilliant!

    I’ve heard that there are pictures of ladies with no clothes on, on the interweb. Is this true?

    binners, I heard a similar rumour, it was clearly a lie though. Something about videos of naked girls. I mean, can you imagine???!!!11?!oneone

    Multi finger gestures on a variety of devices.
    Very intuitive.

    Multi finger gestures on a variety of devices.

    so you can select, open a context menu, zoom in/out, scroll up down maybe have a couple of programmable gestures.

    Kinda like a mouse 🙂

    personally I’d say ipad tablet PCs

    Chrome. Not that recent but syncs across all my devices beautifully.

    I’ve got the multi-touch gestures switched on on this trackpad now (Windows). It’s ok, but not really a game changer. Still have to use the right button to right-click, I think. I did try to map two-finger tap to ctrl-click to help web browsing, that would be ace, but the software wouldn’t let me.

    Snipping tool isn’t a recent addition on Macs, had it for ages. 😀

    Dunno if it counts as computing but I’m finding the MyFitnessPal phone/iPad app very useful.

    Oh and i’m excessively pleased with my frontloading hard-drive caddy, just whack a spare drive in for backups, none of that fannying around with expensive hardware.

    Whenever I drive past those ‘Private Adult Book Stores’ I wonder how on earth they are still in business since the internet happened.

    Yes. Agreed. I tok the plunge on a trackpad rather than a mouse with my iMac and now I’ve got an iPhone and an iPad as well that all use the same or similar gestures I couldn’t go back to a mouse again, they feel slow and clunky.
    That said, you need to actually put some effort in and learn the gestures, but I love my keyboard shortcuts as well, so it was a no brainier for me.

    They branched out to a more ‘niche’ version of ann summers, I guess.

    I would have thought lorryists would still have razzle, but what with the invention of 3g etc, that’s that market gone!

    Skifta and a smart TV.

    Open the app, select a playback device ( TV or tablet ) and a file on my NAS or my Humax box and it automagically plays.

    Yeah, if you don’t think multi-finger gesures are intutitive, try a Mac.
    This is something they are way better than PC’s for.

    That’s an entire week of product evaluation cleared from my diary – thanks!

    I don’t know what any of this means, but ultimately are we just talking about faster ways to download the grot that has, unbeknown to me, apparently replaced copies of Escort found in bushes?

    A USB typewriter.

    http://www.usbtypewriter.com

    Though it did require a fair amount of self assembly and the purchase of a 1930s typewriter from eBay, it’s great fun to use and looks awesome in the living room (where it does double duty as a remote control for the media PC.)
