No matter what OS you use, keyboard shortcuts are a one-way ticket to enhanced productivity (plus you look awesome to friends and colleagues); Windows 7 has more cool new shortcuts than you can shake a stick at.

Windows 7 boasts a lot of great new shortcuts, but I'm focusing on several of my favorites. Check out the video above for a closer look. For those of you who prefer text to video, here are all of the shortcuts I highlighted:

• Win+Home: Clear all but the active window
• Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop
• Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window
• Win+Down arrow: Minimize the window/Restore the window if it's maximized
• Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the window to each side of the monitor (If you've got dual monitors, adding Shift to the mix (e.g., Win+Shift+Right arrow) will move the window to the adjacent monitor.)
• Win+T: Focus and scroll through items on the taskbar.
• Win+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display
• Win+(+/-): Zoom in/out
• Shift+Click a taskbar item: Open a new instance of that application

Got a favorite shortcut of your own now that you've installed the Windows 7 Beta? Let's hear about it in the comments. (Apologies for the poor video quality... tried something new, but clearly it didn't work out.)

Microsoft Office 14 may not be scheduled for release until next year, but tech news site Ars Technica has already got their hands on leaked screenshots of the Office 14 alpha builds.

Above you can see the Office 14 About page, which sports an attractive little sidebar for opening, saving, or creating new documents. Below is a look at Microsoft Word 14.

As you can see, the ribbon is sporting a new, slightly tweaked look, but off the bat we didn't notice any surprises.

The article also says that the Office 14 beta will begin in May, so it may not be too long before we're able to try it out ourselves. Be sure to head over to Ars for the full scoop and way more leaked shots, which include a look at Excel, Publisher, Access, Visio, and SharePoint.

As we all know too well, getting that perfect “MySpace angle” for our social network icons and alleged candid iPhone pics on the go isn’t easy. It’s an art form. And no one understands that more than the Mickey Rourke of Craigslist dick pics, Paul Jacoby, Penis Photographer.

Or rather, it’s Bob Odenkirk, best known as the comedian and co-creator of cult comedy hit, Mr. Show (with David Cross). Comparing himself to the greatest painters and his subjects to Grandma Moses, he takes us on a “day in the life” of a hired-hand photographic visionary, whose purpose is to lead a huge team of eager, worshipful interns. Telling us it’s for Casual Encounters but that “there’s nothing casual about what I do” to create that perfect fake self-portrait of Craigslist notoriety — the, er, seminal, “dick pic” — he screams at said assistants, then praises them for making “Horny In Burbank” look *just amateur enough* stroking himself on the toilet to get the winning responses to Horny’s Casual Encounters ad. And indeed, depending on the lighting and the angle, whether you find it dreaded or click-worthy, Jacoby speaks to a universal truth when he calls the dick pic, “modern Americana folk art.”

Something tells me that Mr. Jacoby is a very busy man. Unlike Casual Encounters, the video contains no nudity but still may not be work-safe.

Google's Notebook webapp was tightly integrated with other Google apps, had a killer Firefox extension, and was great at getting things done. "Was," though, because Google is ending support. Here's where heartsick users should turn.

Note: Google Notebook isn't closing down right now, but its users should see the writing on the wall. In the service's official blog, Notebook's project manager states that its team plans to "stop active development," meaning no new features or sign-ups for new users, and the clipping extension will likely die off with the next big Firefox upgrade.

The developers point users to Google services they may already be using, like Docs and Gmail's new task manager. That's fine and good, but it's also scattering your favorite car's parts on your lawn. Here's where we recommend turning to if you enjoyed Google Notebook's grab-anything ubiquity (which some of our editors certainly have):

Evernote: Obvious? Sure, but every time we write about this brain-expanding universal collector/organizer, it adds even more features, and more developers hook their own neat apps into it. Evernote handles web links, text notes, pictures, voice memos, and even grabs text from images on your desktop, iPhone, or other smartphone, and puts it all in an easily sortable online brain. Recently, though, they've added file syncing, collaborated with the Pelotonics site for collaboration abilities, and even added real-time picture uploading with an Eye-Fi team-up. So it's an obvious pick for the clip-anything nature of Notebook, and, as seen in the screenshot at right, its interface isn't too far afield from Notebook, either.

Take ownership of your notebooks, bring them anywhere: If you don't have in excess of, say, 100 notebook containers (and you needed a new system if you did, anyways), Google offers a pretty format-free way to export all their information to pretty much any application you want to manage it. Click a notebook, choose the "Tools" menu, and you've got options for Google Documents (naturally), but, more importantly, HTML files, which can be read by Microsoft Office apps, any online text editor worth its salt, or, if you're looking for the look and feel of Google Notebook, your own go-anywhere TiddlyWiki (or its task-oriented remix GTDTiddlyWiki).

If you really do have a ton of Google Notebooks, the Digital Inspiration blog points out a super-helpful Greasemonkey script that can grab all your notebooks in RSS streams or HTML.

Upgrade your web clipping tool: Google Notebook's pretty great browser extension and bookmarklet tools made anything one found on the web easy to jam into a notebook and look at later. But they worked mostly in the text realm. More recently-conceived (or at least recently-updated) tools like Snipd (which we previewed) and Clipmarks (which LH alumnus Rick really liked) can get the job done with text, pictures, videos, entire web sections—whatever you select and click to grab. They're worthy
successors of a different sort—like Evernote, without the organizational demands.

Digital Inspiration has a few more ideas on reclaiming and reusing your Google Notebook files. Were you a dedicate GNotebook-er, and what will you miss most? What are you planning to do with your own notebooks? Tell us your take in the comments.

Windows only: Xinorbis is a portable and quite powerful disk analyzer. Graphs, tables, trees, and report generation ensure you know what is going on with your data.

After scanning your disks—the results can be viewed individually for each drive or merged together to provide a system overview of all your storage—you can drill down into your data. Data can be sorted and graphed by file type, biggest folders, date of creation, 101 biggest and smallest files, and data distribution by user. Results can be saved with the Report function and compared to future scans. Additionally there is a basic file navigator that places a handy bar beside each folder indicating how much of the drive it takes up. Xinorbis is freeware, Windows only. Thanks SanwariCethegus!

Dinner's cooked, the guests are arriving, so you pop open that nice bottle of red and—ugh, what is that? If you're stuck with a "corked" bottle, here's how you can minimize the dankness.

In a New York Times article on wine's flavorful reactions to just about everything, out comes a tip from Andrew Waterhouse, a professor of wine chemistry at the University of California, Davis, on dealing with the effects of a tainted cork:

Mr. Waterhouse said that the obnoxious, dank flavor of a “corked” wine, which usually renders it unusable even in cooking, can be removed by pouring the wine into a bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap.

“It’s kind of messy, but very effective in just a few minutes,” he said. The culprit molecule in infected corks, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, is chemically similar to polyethylene and sticks to the plastic.

I'm not enough of an oenologist to be sure (and it's obviously Two Ten Dollar Word Day at LH HQ today), but for any wine that seems a little off, a bit of oxygen exposure outside the bottle before serving seems to have helped. Got a better wine-saver? Spill it in the comments.
