Connecting The Dots

Yet another tool to to paint a picture of the web.
The Touchgraph Google Browser is one of the cooler ones I’ve seen. Give it a keyword or a URL and presto, well almost presto, it gives you a context mapping based on Google information.
Even more fun, there are tools that let you fine tune your search, add delete sites, change colors, modify groupings, filter stuff, and so on.
You might want to save this to play with at home…..they also have browsers for Amazon and Facebook.
Let me know if you you figure out how to capture an image of the Java display.

Cracking Free Software

I understand, though I do not condone, why thieves might seek out ways to circumvent the key protection used by a lot of commercially available software.
But, when the new release of a program is distributed free by its maker exactly what is the point of illicit distribution?
Feed Demon is a great reason to run Parallels or some other emulation software on your MAC. The last time I compared the two I liked FD much better than Netnewswire. Now that there is a new version of both I’ll give the latter another look when time permits.
