This iPhone app lets you take a picture of any barcode in any store. Once you have the picture, the app processes the information and displays all of the relevant product information. The best part about the app is the fact that it compares prices of the product at different locations. Never pay too much for the things you buy again

This website is pretty straight forward, but it helps me decide what classes to take at college based on what people who previously have taken the class and has had the teacher. All you do is put the professors name or school you go to in the search key and look them up. Not all professors are on the website. But it gives you a good feel of what the class will be like.

For those of you who don't know it, probably one of the best media players out there. Will take just about any format of video and spit it back out for you.

We've been hearing about this moment in digital history since at least 1988, when the Xerox technologist Mark Weiser coined the term "ubiquitous computing", referring to the point at which devices and systems would become so numerous and pervasive that "technology recedes into the background of our lives".

When the GPS system in your phone or iPad can relay your location to any site or device you like, when Facebook uses facial recognition on photographs posted there, when your financial transactions are tracked, and when the location of your car can influence a constantly changing, sensor-driven congestion-charging scheme, all in real time, something has qualitatively changed

  I have great optimism for actually being alive to see all of this happen. My fear is that it falls into the wrong hands. Or we begin to rely on it so heavily, that when the system hiccups, the world crumbles. Recently, in my "Computational World" class, we talked about how the fear is all relative. My teacher (late 40s maybe?), said he wanted nothing to do with facebook, and has a hard time understanding why people feel the need to share in that way. He also despises his cell phone, and only carries one because his family insists. My generation has embraced all of these technologies, and I am positive that my son will grow up with few reservations about this incredible growth in tech.

This program will defragment your computer and make things run smoother. It takes a little while but it doesn't use much RAM and works quietly in the background.
