Every April around this time, Milan welcomes creative types from all across the globe for the Salone Internazionale del Mobile—pretty much the wildest week in the design world. Though the past few years have seen efforts to curb the rampant bacchanal of new production for new production’s sake, there’s still a hell of a lot to take in.

The interface for managing the default “open with” programs in Windows isn’t the best, and in the past we’ve recommended utilities that make managing the default apps a little easier. Coffee brings a refreshing spin on the task at hand by temporarily modifying the default programs for a given file extension, but leaving the OS settings in tact.
What Coffee does is it lets you set the default application for any file extension without modifying the Windows Registry. This is useful in a variety of scenarios, but given the fact that Coffee is a free and portable app means that this is a perfect compliment to your USB drive or Dropbox account.
How do I use Coffee? I store the app in my Dropbox account which is synced to all my machines. Since my Dropbox folder is in the same place on all my computers I can use Coffee to set the default apps for things such as TXT files to other portable programs such as Notepad++, which are also stored in my Dropbox account. Basically with my configuration I can sit down at any of my computers, start Coffee, and instantly have my favorite portable apps set to open the file extensions I use the most frequently.
There are a lot of other features that make Coffee great, such as the ability to set an alternative application. With that in place you can open a file in the secondary app by holding down the Alt key and double-clicking on the shortcut. Genius!

Windows Phone 8.1 is here
Gamers can be a fickle lot, and it can get pretty tricky trying to figure out what it is exactly that they are looking for. Well, if you have been waiting to pick up a new gaming keyboard for the longest time, but have never really managed to get around to it, perhaps you might want to see what the Corsair Vengeance K70 is all about, where this mechanical gaming keyboard has been specially designed for PC gaming performance with German-made Cherry MX mechanical keyswitches for that ultimate gaming experience.
I am quite sure that gamers too, would have heard about Corsair because of their exploits in the RAM department as well as SSD storage. They aren’t a slouch in the high-performance PC gaming hardware department, either, having announced the award-winning Vengeance K70 mechanical gaming keyboard to arrive in black aluminum with red backlit keys, where it will also be available with Cherry MX Blue and Brown keyswitches, if variety is what you would like to have in your life.
First of all, your eyes will definitely appreciate the sophisticated aesthetics that have gone into the refreshed Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard, where it sports an anodized black aluminum chassis for long-lasting durability and timeless style. There is also a vibrant red backlight that shines through each key, oozing an industrial look that is capable of complimenting any gamer set up. The overall backlighting is adjustable to four different levels of intensity, where the lighting for each key can be independently enabled or disabled. There is key-by-key lighting customization that opens the door for users to highlight just the keys they require to emphasize, including WASD, before one saves the setting directly to the K70′s onboard memory.
You should not miss a keystroke ever again, thanks to its 100% anti-ghosted matrix, full n-key rollover and 1000Hz reporting rate, while multimedia controls provide you with quick access to volume, skip tracks, play, stop, and pause. There are also a nifty USB port that supports accessories including Corsair’s very own Vengeance gaming headset or mouse. Expect the new versions of the Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard to be available this month with an asking price of $129.99, where each of these will feature a 2 year warranty.
