Lifehacker reader Sam Laviit lives in a small but well appointed apartment where making the most of space is imperative. The screen real estate provided by his setup would make anyone envious, but especially those of us that spend all day in front of the terminal wishing for a screen just a little bit bigger. A computer rig built on the Intel Skulltrail platform with dual quad-core processors is the brains behind his five screen setup: one 56" HDTV and four 24" monitors in portrait mode. All four monitors are on fully articulating arms which makes it easy to swing, slide, and adjust them into whatever configuration works best for the project at hand. Throw in the wireless mouse and keyboard and Sam has both a space for work and play that puts most to shame. For more pictures of his office check out the link below.
If you have a workspace of your own to show off throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.
That per-meal cost, averaged out across each week, is under the standard version of the "spring menu," which utilizes more fresh produce and seasonal ingredients. Go the "green" route, buying local and organic food, and your cart cost comes to about $1.99 per meal; switch back to the "winter menu," and it gets cheaper. All those prices are, as the site's creator points out, less than the individual food stamp allowance in many states.
The menu, devised by a former IBM engineer, is largely vegetarian, though it contains some surprisingly cheap but appealing items: spring onion and mustard green pizza, green egg scrambles, and noodles in spicy peanut sauce, as examples. Some menu days won't really surprise anyone who's made it through college on the cheap, as it leans on beans, peas, and rice fairly regularly. But the day-by-day planning is so comprehensive, and the options so thorough, that those looking to eat healthier, cheaper, or start out on a flexitarian diet will find Cook for Good's offerings a pretty great free resource.
Head over to the site to check out the winter, spring, and supplemental menus, as well as read more about the project. Update: Looks like Cook For Good's a little overwhelmed this morning; check back later for a better chance at access.

We say that will full respect for what other start pages do differently—iGoogle, for instance, offers a wide range of gadgets and widgets, many of them Google-integrated, that provide more than just news and headlines. But with multiple pages, each with their own color and theme, and multiple tabs on each page, it's a lot easier to separate what you're watching for your own gratification, what's actual work knowledge, and, say, your deal-finding start page.
What's more, you can choose to "publish" certain pages, making them accessible without your log-in credentials, and potentially making it really easy to clue your co-workers and friends in on what you think they should be monitoring. If you're still an OPML/XML geek at heart, Netvibes lets you export individual OPML files from each page, so you can still get crazy with the filtering/sharing tools.
Most of the same Netvibes features—drag-and-drop tabs, easy re-ordering, and highly personalized color schemes—are available across and on each page. With features like published pages, alongside Google Reader's user-friendly feed bundles, it seems like RSS is starting to make itself a real attraction to the web-using masses. Tell us what you think of Netvibes' new look and layout in the comments.
The script binds one of your extra mouse buttons combined with the mouse wheel to activate Alt-Tab or Shift-Alt-Tab, depending on which way you are scrolling the mouse. To set this up for yourself, you'll need to create a new AutoHotkey script or paste the following into your existing one to activate your 5th mouse button:
XButton2 & WheelDown::AltTab
XButton2 & WheelUp::ShiftAltTabIf you would rather use the 4th button, you can substitute XButton1 in the code where you see XButton2. If your mouse doesn't have any extra buttons, Zarek still has you covered—this solution will activate Alt-Tab using the middle mouse button combined with the scroll wheel—although it's a little more difficult to use and (one commenter notes that it makes the middle mouse button not work correctly, so use this one with caution).
Update: yourbuddypal in the comments notes that you need a tilde at the beginning of the line, per this AutoHotkey forum post. Thanks!
~MButton & WheelDown::AltTab
~MButton & WheelUp::ShiftAltTab
Where this tip becomes really useful is for readers using Windows 7—once you've activated the Alt-Tab dialog you can simply hold your mouse over ! any of t he preview thumbnails to see the entire window through Aero Peek—very useful when you have too many applications running at once. Thanks, Zarek!
For more AutoHotkey fun, read how to turn any action into a keyboard shortcut, or turn your capslock key into a dedicated minimize button. Got your own useful AutoHotkey trick for managing open windows? Care to share your scripting skills with the rest of the class? Dazzle us in the comments with your wisdom.
In addition to the screen sharing, Skype 4.1 beta adds contact sharing, birthday reminders, call and video quality improvements, and more; you can find the full release notes here (PDF alert!). As Download Squad points out, new features generally hit the Windows version of Skype before the Mac version, but in this case, Macs have had Skype screen sharing since January.
To share your screen, just fire up a chat with a contact and then hit the Share button. After that, you can choose whether you want to share your entire screen or Skype may just become the new family helpdesk support app of choice. Note: The user you're chatting with must also be running Skype 4.1.
Skype 4.1 beta is a free download, Windows only.
(The custom builds frighten us, on multiple levels.)
More interesting, perhaps, is how they fall along the Android lines—there are apparently three ways for a manufacturer to put Android on their phone with varying levels of Google control (though all are free). The "no strings" version anyone can grab, but it doesn't have Google's apps. The "small strings" version includes an agreement to distribute Google's apps, and 12-14 are this flavor.
The final one, aka the Google Experience, is like the G1—you've got Google apps and an agreement from both the carrier and phonemaker that they won't restrict access to the Android market at all. You can spot these phones by the Google logo literally branded onto them. (These are the Android phones you probably want.)
So, maybe 2009 will be the year of Android after all. Maybe. [NYT]
