Personally, I love these mockups.  I particularly like the idea of the
whole screen shifting to the left (the "camera" moving to the right)
when you select an application category.  However, if we do this, I
think we need to make sure the cursor goes with the screen, so that the
user doesn't have to go to the far right, click a category, then move
left.
