Of the List, I recommend Number 1:

1. WordWeb

    Using this application, we can look up definitions, synonyms and antonyms without having to open a web browser. It has a hot key 

so you can mouse-over the word you want to analyze and 

hit the key combination. 

This is a brilliant free application.

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere.

We have 1400+ videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, chemistry, biology and finance which have been recorded by Salman Khan. Listen to a recent interview by Salman with NPR's All Things Considered.

Toshiba 8GB Wi-Fi SD Memory Card

Toshiba 8GB Wi-Fi SD Memory Card Today, Toshiba and Singapore-based Trek 2000 International Ltd. announced the development of a new Wi-Fi wireless SD card.

MC2 Post 711 The Killing Of The WEB PAGE by ELO

When Is Too Much Too Much?

Blogging us to Death

The Format to seemed so Cool just a short time ago is clogging our Media Centric shorelines.

Example A:

This is an article about: Google deletes two Android applications remotely.

But where is it in the page above?

Let me help you by Xing the parts that have nothing to do

with the story you wanted to read.

As you can see, only a small portion on the left side of the page is the actual information I was looking for, buried by AD's and boiler plate froth that the Web designers think are more important than the article.

What is wrong with this is that it looks like another media format that is hanging on by a thread, the newspapers.

ELO the Wingman.
