Otherwise, download free at http://softwarespot.wordpress.com/software/keyndicate/ . 02. CLOUDFOGGER is for you if you use Dropbox, Box.net, SkyDrive or other cloud storage and want to encrypt and secure your files. Download free at http://cloudfogger.com/en/download/index.aspx . 03. MITEC TASK MANAGER DELUXE duplicates what the Windows Task Manager does but adds more enhancements. It reveals processes, services, sessions, autoruns, and system information and performance. It is portable and needs no installation. Download free at http://www.mitec.cz/tmx.html . 04. GENDER GUESSER at http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php takes writing samples and then renders a guess as to the author's gender. I've heard it was fairly accurate but tells me I am a weak female, alas. * * * * * Now, tell me, is all the following worth 50 cents to you? A natural-sounding text-to-speech system translating text from 52 languages; an application that places more useful commands in the right-click Explorer window; a free service that lets you fill forms, sign them, and send them without software; create reminders and send them by text, email, or phone; manage hardware and system power management of your notebook to control its battery life and temperature; capture your screen, process the image, and share the file; rename multiple files and folders simultaneously; watch, pause, and schedule viewing and playback of music, videos, and photos; open more than 100 file types that otherwise pose problems; use a set of tools that will play all popular audio and video formats; view entire browser history and access links; learn what HDRI is and how it makes better images; read software mini-reviews, visit interesting sites, learn tekkie tips, and more, including our mailbag with always interesting readers' comments. That's just some of the useful stuff Premium subscribers receive twice monthly in their mailbox; and, it's delivered graphics-rich and ad-free. Check it out at http://www.neatnettricks.com/store . * * * * * 05. AUTOHIDE MOUSE CURSOR fits more in the "department of useless software" or so it seems. It hides the mouse cursor when it becomes annoying, but I have to ask "when's the last time your cursor annoyed you?" If you see a value, it's a free download at http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/AutoHideMouseCursor/ . 06. MYKEYFINDER locates all your serial numbers in a single click and can export the information to a PDF file and print or copy them to clipboard. Invalid and duplicate numbers are removed in the process. Download free at http://www.abelssoft.net/mykeyfinder.php . 07. CAPTURE, ANNOTATE, AND SHARE. The name tells it all: capture any visible part, region, or whole page of a Web site, crop it and annotate it with rectangles, circles, arrows, lines, and text and erase sensitive information with the blur tool, and upload it and get a link that can be shared on Twitter, Facebook, email, etc. Download free at http://awesomescreenshot.com/ . 08. CLIPLETS. They aren't still photos or video but something in between. For Windows 7, Microsoft has developed a way to mix static and dynamic elements from a video clip and it's a free download at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/cliplets/ . 09.
