Split Keyboard hidden keys

Lifehacker shared an interesting tip recently for the iPad.  If you've ever tried to use the split keyboard (and I have) you may get tripped up by having to use a specific thumb for some of the keys in the middle of the keyboard.  What they found was that there are actually hidden keys on each side of the split keyboard that allow you to type those letters with either hand.  Check out the image above as an example.

Google Trick - Searching for Apps only

If you've ever searched for an app on Google, there can be some difficulty if you don't have the right name and such.  While listening to the latest episode of TWIG they mentioned that you can limit your searches in Google to just applications!  Head to Google and type in your search term, then look on the left hand menu and click more (see screenshot below).

After clicking more, you should see an link for "applications", click it and Google with search all the major App Stores for the app (iTunes, Android, CNET, etc...).  You can see an example below:

Happy Searching!
