Android (rooted): Our favorite custom Android ROM, CyanogenMod, has come out with a release candidate of its next version, complete with some Ice Cream Sandwich visual effects, a predictive phone dialer, and more.
We're still waiting for CyanogenMod 9, the Ice Cream Sandwich version of our favorite Android ROM, but the CyanogenMod team has come out with a small update to hold us over. It has some of Ice Cream Sandwich's transition and rotation effects, which adds some pizazz to the OS, plus an awesome predictive phone dialer, much like the one found in HTC's Sense UI or Samsung's TouchWiz UI. As you type numbers, it'll also search your contacts for people that match the numbers and letters as you type. It also has a number of bug fixes, plus advanced options for quiet hours, calendar reminders, and more. It also supports over 20 new devices, so if you've never tried out CyanogenMod, hit the link below to see if it's available for you (or check out the changelog to see all its newest features).
CyanogenMod is a free download for rooted Android devices. As always, the Release Candidate may still have a bug or two, but should be stable enough for everyday use.

The developers of Miro have released a first release candidate of the upcoming Miro 5 version. Miro at its core is a media player with Internet connectivity built right into the software. The software can play back media formats and supports the playing and downloading of media from the Internet.
You can use it to manage your local video and audio library, go to video hosting sites like YouTube from within the program interface to watch and download videos from there, subscribe to podcasts, download torrent files, or make use of the channels and shows offered by Miro. Channels include the ever popular Ted Talks, Buzz out Loud or the Discovery Channel Video podcast. You can subscribe to these channels to receive updates when new items are published.
A lot has changed since our initial review in 2008 and last year’s update to Miro 4. The developers behind Miro have now released the first release candidate of the upcoming version 5. This is a test version which is not suited yet for productive environments. While the majority of features work without larger issues, you will come upon a few bugs in that version, like the inability to minimize the program version using the button at the top of the window.
When you look at the program interface you will notice that it looks more or less identical to previous versions. The developers claim massive updates to the Windows backend of the software.
The new version of Miro now supports downloading HD videos from Vimeo feeds, faster device syncing and format conversions, song information and album art lookup, and a new album view mode that groups together songs by album and artist.
Interested users can download the release candidate of Miro 5 from the official blog. Downloads are provided for Windows and Mac Os X, and the source code.
New users should check out the Get Started section for an overview of some of the things that Miro allows them to do.
Are you using an all-in-one media player like Miro, or do you prefer to keep things separate?
It’s long been known that Windows 8 would come with a great many more keyboard shortcuts than its predecessors. These are necessary in no small part to help non-touchscreen users use and access features that would ordinarily be opened with a swipe or other gesture. While some people may see the need for extra keyboard shortcuts to be a retrograde step in operating system development, nobody can deny that they’re certainly needed in Windows 8.
Now Microsoft have released the full list of keyboard shortcuts in a blog post, and there certainly are a lot of them, more than people will be able to remember anyway. However this isn’t really the point as there is more search syntax in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 than people can remember but people use what they know and need. Thus there are certain shortcuts here which most people will use every day, such as Win+C to open the Charms menu, and there will be many others that select individuals will find very helpful even though others don’t.
My own opinion is that, while using Keyboard key combinations does seem a bit of a backward step, I am grateful that so many exist for when a mouse action cannot be used. IT Pros, business users and power users are also not averse to having to remember and use keyboard shortcuts and so these may actually serve to help people in the long-term. What do you think? Why not tell us in the comments below.
