There are so many things to click or move or drag and finally you wish that the life would be simpler.

Accurately adjust brush size in Adobe® Photoshop® with one hand, while you paint with the other; change volume, pause play or switch tracks while iTunes® runs in the background; or use it to hold the entire world in the palm of your hand with Google Earth®.
