AT&T’s Garnet Red Galaxy S III for vampires: we go hands-on

 

While AT&T’s been flaunting a rather patriotic red, white and blue Galaxy S III lineup since launch, the carrier’s exclusive Garnet Red handset’s been rather elusive so far, with pre-orders starting July 15 and deliveries expected July 29. If you’ve been eying Samsung’s blood red $199 flagship, you’ll be happy to know that we received our review unit yesterday and snapped a bunch of pictures, including comparison shots with the white and blue models. The phone is identical to its siblings other than the burgundy screen bezel and back cover, and the gunmetal rim running along its edge. It’s a pretty gorgeous color scheme that’s sure to attract vampires everywhere. Still unsure? Peek at our hands-on gallery below, then sound off in the comments.

The 10 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts you need to remember

Takeaway:  There are 100+ keyboard shortcuts available for Windows 8, but there are a small number you’ll want to remember because you’ll use them often.

In April 2012, Greg Shultz created a free cheat sheet of 100 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts. That download contained just about every keyboard shortcut you could imagine. Those shortcuts are still valid of course, but if you are like me you can only remember a few shortcuts at a time, so you want to remember the ones that will be most useful.So, while I highly recommend that you take advantage of the free PDF download listing of 100 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts, I also recommend that you commit the following 10 keyboard shortcuts to memory, because you are going to need to access these features often and, for efficiency’s sake, it’s best to have them at the ready.
