  1. Thanh – you mentioned here that your approach is to do things better (as opposed to Mike who brings innovation). You also mentioned (I think prev. episode) that productivity increases with a 2nd screen, so it’s on your list of recommendations. I have one at home I was considering the option of iPad as 2nd screen at work when I came across a strong endorsement of this app – BetterTouchTool. One of the coolest features is the way it allows for a virtually instant resize when you change screens, since the Mac screen resolution is often different to others, not just the ipad.
