LiveEdge adds Expose-like hotspots to Windows desktop edges

I'd like to be able to use the Windows key in the settings, but it's not an option just yet. Just about every other key on your keyboard is, however. The included help file provides a full listing of the possibilities.
In some apps I run full-screen like Photoshop accidentally triggering a command can be a nuisance. You can toggle LiveEdge on and off with a simple left-click on the taskbar icon if you're working in a program where you need the entire screen. You can also create as many settings files as you like and roll custom configurations for different scenarios.
Unlike the previous app - Hot Corners - you shouldn't have to worry about a false positive from your AV software. NoVirusThanks gives LiveEdge a clean bill of health. The .Net 3.5 framework is required, and you need to be running Vista or Windows 7.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Reminds me of the old Mac screensaver functionality where you could trigger it by putting the mouse into the bottom right (or was it left? My memory is going) corner of the screen.

I've seen this before done in other apps and the main problem as highlighted is triggering events when you didn't want it and that's incredibly annoying.
I don't think the solution for this is to have an on/off switch, no matter how accessible. For me that's an admission of failure right there.
I've yet to find anything that uses this system that didn't eventually annoy me so much I had to get rid of it.

Being a good idea, i find it kinda limited. Why to take an "approach to mouse gestures" and not them?
Personally i don't find it simpler to usage than StrokeIt, and this one has huge bigger capabilities, much more actions to select and the hability to classify the gestures by application :)
