WIKISKY.ORG
A fantastic site for all you Astronomy fans out there…
Wikisy.org on-line system is a remarkable and detailed sky map. It generates the map automatically using a database with the positions and basic characteristics of space objects.
A Click on SDSS button at the left upper corner generates a real high resolution Sky Survey image of the area that you have been browsing.

A good opportunity to expand your knowledge of country maps and to find out where Norfolk Islands are.
I believe nothing beats a combination of visual display and quiz as a fast learning tool…

Google Sightseeing is dedicated to the interesting things that can be found with the satellite imagery from Google Maps. They have found lots of strange land marks, planes and parachuters in flight, giant messages written on buildings and etched into fields, nude sunbathers, and much more.
Google Sightseeing takes you on top-down tour of the world using the freely downloadable Google Earth, or Google Maps directly in your web browser. Each weekday your guides Alex and James introduce new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by the reader community.

I like this…More than a simple photo album and an image host, a beautiful example of flash technology for the masses. Picturetrail allows you to display your pix in some very cool slideshows on web albums, web pages and even blogs.

Zamzar
I haven’t had opportunity to use this site much but if it works as advertised it is a fantastic tool. Zamzar will convert between a large array of file formats including most of the image, video, sound, and word processing formats. Just select your file, the format you want it converted to, and enter your e-mail address; and the converted file is e-mailed to you.

Last Freeware version: jv16 Powertools, RegCleaner, PowerArchiver, PopCorn
This is handy. Not all freeware on your desktop do have an automatic notification system to warn you that a new version of the program exist.
This is a useful site which maintains a list of all the latest version of the most common freeware available on the net.
It is always a good idea to keep an up-to-date version of your program, especially nowdays with stories of security holes and malicious PC attacks via malware.
