Keybreeze is a small, command-line toolbar that’s only visible when you are using it. You can activate it by pressing a hotkey on your keyboard. Then you can type keywords to open files, folders, and websites. Keybreeze comes with over a hundred preset keywords, and you can easily make your own. You can also type commands to search the Internet, look up a word in a dictionary, check the weather, activate the screensaver, create a note, or shut down your computer. Keybreeze commands can be configured to perform more advanced options, such as automating your repetitive computer tasks, inserting custom text into a document, or changing the display settings of a window.
If you’re always struggling with connecting your gaming consoles to your WiFi network, the Buffalo Wi-Fi Gamers router may be just the thing — it plugs into your regular router, and then with a touch on the top, it can connect to the PS3, the Wii, the PSP and other AOSS-enabled consoles. It doesn’t have any other ports so you can’t connect other computers through it, and while it can be used as a regular WiFi router, regular connections will drop as soon as you engage the AOSS one-touch config. Consider it an add-on to your regular network that’s dedicated strictly to games and you’ll be golden.
