WordWeb – A Light weight dictionary reference

Internet has removed our dependency from books, especially reference books like Encyclopedia and Dictionary for good. Although internet is a great resource, but it is not the fastest resource when you quickly want to find meaning of a word. WordWeb is one such local dictionary software that is small but feature packed. You can search for meaning of any word as well as synonyms very quickly in it. If you spell the word wrongly, WordWeb can tell you closest word that matches your spelling, this feature is not as good as Google’s auto correct but does work if you can spell the initial alphabets right for WordWeb to give list of words that start with given letters. It also has word pronunciations. The software also installs as a service in tray and can be activated on any highlighted...

The United States was the main focus of the attacks, which were aimed at stealing intellectual property, such as ideas, strategies and plans, rather than financial data, McAfee said.a"While this attack is indeed significant,...

Gmail mailbox gets a facelift

Okay, so its not the most groundbreaking feature around, but the trusty preview pane has finally come to Gmail. I know we’ve all been using it since the early days of Outlook, (or Mozilla Thunderbird, if you’re so inclined) and even lesser popular web-based mail like Hotmail have had it since ages, but the three pane view has appeared finally on arguably the most popular webmail around. Its still a Google Labs project, so expect it to be slightly annoying. To activate ‘Preview Pane’, head over to Labs in Settings, and voilà! you’re good to go.  You can easily switch between a horizontal or vertical layout for the previews using a button on the top right of your mailbox. And yes, the Goog gains another way to show you your daily over-dose of ads, on the far-right...

Welcome to the United States of Android and iOS

By Suzanne ChoneyWe know about the "blue state/red state" divisions in America, but now we have a map showing a "North vs. South divide" in the battle between Android and iOS (Apple) phones.aConsumers in the South and Southwest "tend to be Android-biased compared to the rest of the country, while those in the Midwest and Northeast lean towards iOS," according to Jumptap, a targeted mobile advertising company, which put together the map.a"California, Texas and Florida over-index for Android use, and states in New England and the Midwest over-index for iOS use." Over-indexing, says Jumptap, means that a mobile OS "is used/requested at a rate higher than the national average in that area."aResearch In Motion's BlackBerry use, interestingly, is "over-indexed in New York."aThe data, Jumptap said...

Viber – Free VoIP calls & text messages on Android and iPhone

Viber is a skype alternate for smartphones. It offers free viber-to-viber calls and text messaging over the internet. Normally you have to register for a VoIP service, and then use some other VoIP software for your handset and specify the VoIP server IP and port settings etc in it to get the service working – a feat which feels too complicated for normal users. Viber is charming in the sense that they have their own app, and you just have to create an account and start using it. Viber replaces skype’s chat with a more famous threaded bubbles format for sms. Best feature of viber is that it integrates in your phone’s address book. So, you can directly make viber calls and messages from there. And just as easily switch to GSM call if you are getting bad quality over the internet....
