Organize your app drawer with GoToApp

GoToApp gives you a more organized, tab-based alternative to the default Android app drawer. You can create any number of tabs, and rearrange your apps among them as you see fit.

When you first run GoToApp, it does a bit of housekeeping for you by creating Main, Game, Tools, and Others tabs and dividing your existing apps among them. Of course, it doesn't categorize every app perfectly, but it's really simple to move things around and create new tabs as necessary. You can also create child folders within tabs to further organize your apps. And you can choose … Read more

An extra Dock...with extras

Like LaunchBar, Fruitmenu, and Default Folder, this popular and well-tested shareware GUI-enhancer has become an indispensable addition to OS X for many users. DragThing exists to make getting to things on your Mac--files, folders, apps, disks, URLs, and windows--quick and easy. Inveterate interface tweakers love DragThing because you can create multiple docks (like the OS X Dock) that can be almost infinitely configured to suit your specific situation. Plus, you can save snippets, define tons of hot keys, and perform quite a few neat OS tricks (like putting a Trash back on your desktop).

If you don't like bells … Read more

Microwave drawer is Sharp

I think drawer appliances are just plain cool, except for this one. This one is hot, which is good, because it's a microwave. It's the next-generation Insight Pro microwave drawer oven from Sharp, which comes in two widths, 24 inches and 30 inches.

The new ovens feature larger interior space within the same exterior footprint as their predecessors. You'll find a new beverage center and some new automatic settings.

Organize kitchen utensils with customizable drawer trays

I am jealous of people who have a kitchen space where every last thing is organized. It's not as easy to accomplish as it seems. I'm not talking about the obvious things, like where to store the food processor when not using it. Rather, I am thinking of a small, seemingly minor thing that can lead to clean, efficient kitchens: the flatware drawer.

My flatware drawer houses my forks, knives and spoons, but in a haphazard manner. Yes, I have a utensil separator, but really it's more bother than it is worth. Besides the fact that it … Read more

Save space with your fridge

If you need to save space in your kitchen, so far there have been limited options for refrigerators. In fact, the options have been pretty much minifridges and having one of those just makes us all think of college days. But Fisher & Paykel now has the CoolDrawer on sale. The CoolDrawer is a sleek, space-saving refrigerator that can be built into an island. And, yes, it is a fridge in a drawer.

The 36-inch CoolDrawer does a little more than you might expect when you hear the words "fridge in a drawer," though. It offers a variety … Read more

See what's in drawer No. 2

Appliances have made their way off counters and floors and into a place that's far less conspicuous: drawers. Drawer freezers and fridges have made their way into savvy cooks' kitchens because they make reaching items easier, they blend in under countertops, and they're handicap-friendly.

But the drawer is a space that has great potential outside of the realm of cooling. If you haven't seen it yet, you should take a moment to check out Dacor's Millennia Microwave-in-a-Drawer. Granted, the microwave in a drawer was first released in 2006 by Sharp, but one important lesson to learn … Read more

A drawer you'll never have to slam shut

These drawers immediately reminded me of my parents.

Not because they are great admirers of modern classic design. No, it's because they have the most annoying kitchen drawer on the planet. It never closes completely, no matter how hard you slam it.

Since it's unlikely they will ever fix that drawer, I've decided they need to replace it with a Poggenpohl drawer.

These drawers, from the Germany-based luxury kitchen designer, use the company's +Motion and +Motion Drive technology to open and close automatically.

With +Motion, all you do is touch the center of the drawer and … Read more

Don't hide those CDs--flaunt 'em

There's a dirty little secret among MP3 owners: Even some of the most ardent iPod loyalists still have CDs. The horror.

But rather than hide them in the closet, we say this: If you've got it, flaunt it. And we can think of no better way to do that than with these "MixIt CD Stickers" from the Container Store. Popgadget notes that you can personalize your otherwise boring media storage with "colorful dots, happy stripes or cheerful florals." And if you change your mind, they can always blend in with the wallpaper.
