Would you like to learn to type faster? Do you believe that you can do so while playing a game? If your answer to the first question is yes, then let me answer the second one for you: yes, you can learn to be a much better typer while playing a game.

There is something that makes sense about seeing the weather forecast displayed on a big map, which may be related to the fact that we are all used to seeing forecasts superimposed on big maps on TV. In any case, Full Screen Weather is a free service that will display a detailed map with annotated weather information pulled from the ‘Weather Underground’ website. It also displays a 4 day forecast, weather alerts, and other relevant information. You can also get this service on your Android or iOS device via free apps. Continue reading ..

We recently published a big comparison of free ZIP archiving and compression programs on Freewaregenius that looked at many of the more well known (and some not so well known) free ZIP programs out there. The conclusion: we liked HaoZip, 7-Zip, and PeaZip best, in that order.

The Google Chrome connection comes from the fact that Google have set up a website to showcase these coding ‘experiments’.
This post will feature 10 Chrome Experiments that we loved here at Freewaregenius. Check them out and consider that you may be looking at the art form of the next century. Continue reading ..

I’ve always enjoyed multiplayer gaming experiences far more than single player ones, with some few notable exceptions. It is therefore my custom to try and stay aware of the current gaming community, especially on the net, since that is where the best gossip eventually becomes information. So, when I heard that there was going to be a second Defense of the Ancients (DotA)installment, I was very excited to try it out.
