From everyday office work to Web browsing or even casual gaming, (X-Mouse Button Control) (XMBC, but not to be confused with the open-source media-center software XBMC) lets you control your computer mouse like a hardcore gamer. With customizable mapping features and numerous profiles setup, X-Mouse Button Control lets you do so much more than your standard pointing and clicking.

Lets you setup a different mouse config for different programs.

Most modern PC games let you customize the mapping of your keyboard and mouse buttons, but strangely, Windows provides very few options for tweaking your mouse functionality. The basic Mouse Control will only let you make minor adjustments to cursor sensitivity and click speed. The average computer mouse does not give you the ability to change their button functions. Unless you're willing to shell out extra cash for fancy mice (e.g. Logitech or Apple) that come with their own proprietary software, you're stuck using what you've got ... which is where XMBC comes in.

TomTom today launched its flagship Navigation for Android application. But there's one problem: it won't work on some of the top Android devices today.

The new app, which is available in the Google Play store, includes full offline support and free use of the maps over its lifetime. According to TomTom, the program includes live traffic information and locations of speed cameras to help users avoid hefty fines. The application supports turn-by-turn guidance, of course, and calls out street names while providing lane guidance.

Given those features, some users might jump at the chance to try out the high-powered app. However, TomTom says that the program is limited to screen resolutions of 800 x 480 and 854 x 480. In other words, devices with higher screen resolutions won't support the application for now.
