Eve Trains You to Use Keyboard Shortcuts

OS X: Keyboard shortcuts are great: they can save you tons of time and effort—assuming you know them all. If you don't know every keyboard shortcut under the sun, Eve is an OS X utility that teaches them to you. Every time you perform a function or command with the mouse for which there's a corresponding keyboard shortcut, Eve will display the shortcut on screen so you'll learn it and remember to use it next time.
For example, in the Finder, if you click the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server," Eve will pop up an alert in upper right corner of your screen with the Eve logo and "Command K" in the box so you'll remember to do it next time. Eve remembers which ones you've performed, and only reminds you once in a while so it doesn't become too much of a nag, but it definitely lets you know that you could have performed the same action you just did with the mouse using only the keyboard.
Right now, Eve supports shortcuts in the Finder, Chrome, Safari, and Mail.app, but the developer is working on support for "almost all apps" in the near future—most likely starting with common shortcuts that work similarly in just about every application. Still, if you want to pick up some keyboard shortcuts you may not already know, Eve is a great utility to help you learn

Sony Xperia Tablet leaked from internal slides: Surface-style keyboard and tentative $450 price tagSony Xperia Tablet leaked from internal slides Surfacestyle keyboard and tentative $450 price tag Sony's next-generation tablet appears to have leaked on internal slides spotted by German news site, Mobiflip. In short, it's thinner and lighter than the Tablet S, while internal specifications also trump it, including a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, Android 4.0 ("or later"), 3G connectivity and three storage options; 16, 32 and 64GB. The whole tablet follows the same folded magazine design of Sony's existing tablet, is splashproof and houses a 6,000mAh battery that the slides suggest will manage 10 hours of WiFi-based web browsing. There's even some tentative pricing, with the different-sized models marked up at $450, $550 and $650, respectively. The pictures also cover Sony's plans to add a lightweight keyboard to its next tablet, similar to Microsoft's Surface plans, but with some Smart Cover-esque kickstand skills thrown in for good measure. We've added a shot of the keyboard cover after the break, but you can take a tour of the rest of the slides -- which include a raft of accessories and docks -- at the source link below. Update: We've been in touch with a Sony spokesperson, who had "no comment at this stage." We may have to wait until next month, when European trade show IFA kicks off -- with Sony in attendance -- until we hear anything more concrete.
