Horrible Idea Nightmare Phone Runs Windows 7 (Yes, the Desktop OS)

Here's something that shouldn't exist: the Fujitsu F-07C smartphone, which is really not smart at all, as it runs a full version of Windows 7. Not Windows Phone 7. Windows 7. On a 4-inch screen. Can this be reversed?
There is simply no possible way in which this is a good or even usable product. Even Windows 7 on a tablet is a mistake—and there, you have some room to swipe around. But this the equivalent of a goat driving a bus, or me coaching an Olympic gymnastics team.
Fujitsu claims the little mutant, with its Atom processor, "features functionality identical to that of a PC." Identical. Identical! Really? Identical? Yes, it's identical, sans mouse, touchpad, an actual screen, storage, ports, processing power or any of the other things that make a PC a PC. But perhaps Fujitsu is just working with a more liberal use of language, in which case the F-07C features functionality identical to that of a bicycle.
Oh wait, it does sport a QWERTY keyboard, which flips out for what Fujitsu calls "Windows Mode," otherwise known as "stab me in the fucking face" mode. It will be a joy to use Microsoft Office on this thing, I can tell. Have fun installing any other sort of software on this thing, ever.
And "Phone Mode" looks like a Chinese bootlegger started to rip off Android, ran out of amphetamines, and just gave up a third of the way through. It looks like nothing. Is it still Windows? What is it? Who approved this? Here are the full specs, if you are a masochist:

Quickly Create New Folders in Windows 7 with the Ctrl+Shift+N Shortcut [download os]

Windows 7: To create new folders in Windows, you have a few options: you could right-click, go to New, then click Folder, or you could mouse over to the "New Folder" button in the taskbar in Windows Explorer, but both are more time consuming that this simple shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+N.
Hit those keys together to quickly create a new folder on your desktop or in Windows Explorer. This is a new shortcut for Windows 7.
An alternate shortcut for users of previous Windows versions is right-click > W > F (similar to the right-click > W > T shortcut for quickly creating a new text document).
If you're a keyboard ninja and have Windows 7, however, Ctrl+Shift+N may be (or become) one of your favorite keyboard shortcuts. (For Mac users, Command+Shift+N also creates new folders, in Finder. For all platforms, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+N has a different result in Google Chrome: it opens a new browser window in incognito or private browsing mode.)
We've covered quite a few time-saving shortcuts of the day across different platforms. If you have one you want us to feature, let us know in the comments or send an email to tips@lifehacker.com.

How to Activate the God Mode in Windows 7 [download os]

The Control Panel in Windows 7 is a great improvement over its Vista and XP predecessors, but it is still far from perfect. Considering it is boldly name a ‘control’ panel, there are still many things that users are unable to actually access from this folder. Admittedly, not everyone wants to control every aspect of their Operating System and have an all-in-one master access, but for those that require more command over the Window 7 features, there is a way to create an all-seeing Control Panel.
Activating the God Mode
Calling this ‘God Mode’ is probably a bit dramatic and over the top, but what this feature does allow you to do is to create a single folder where you should be able to access everything you could ever want. The good news is that Microsoft have made is very simple to turn on this feature and create a ‘King of all Folders’.
Here’s what to do:
Create a new folder and then rename it ‘God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}’. You do not actually have to use ‘God Mode’ for the initial part of the rename, you could call it whatever you want, it’s the ‘.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}’ that’s important. Make sure you include the full stop “.” after your folder name and enclose the extension in curly brackets “{}”as shown. The extension must be identical to the example.
Now hit ‘Enter’ to confirm the rename and you will see that the extension has disappeared, leaving only the title that you chose for this new folder. Double-click the folder to access and you will start to see why it has been labelled ‘God Mode’.
The folder has been automatically populated with over 260 separate actions that can be accessed from this one folder. There are shortcuts to the various functions for Power Options, the Action Centre, user accounts, the Network and Sharing Centre, Windows 7 troubleshooting and a whole host of other goodies.
If you are the type of person who enjoys having total control and everything right at your fingertips, all in one handy, easily accessible place – this great little Windows 7 trick should be right up your control-freak street. The Control Panel has now finally become a ‘total control’ panel.
