Description: Mental Case is many things - a drop box for your thoughts; RSS for your head; an index of your knowledge - but ultimately, it's just a fun way to remember stuff. And 'stuff' can be anything, from your new mobile phone number to the Presidents of the United States - Mental Case can even help you remember to stick to a diet.All you do is gather tidbits of information in 'mental notes'. Enter some text, drop in an image, take a screen shot, or even snap a picture with your iSight. Mental Case schedules the note to reappear at future dates. When you have a few minutes to spare, you watch the scheduled notes in a slide show. Mental Case makes learning a pleasure.

It is kind of comparable to "Babylon" for Windows but uses a public web-dictionary instead of having a local one. if you want to see how LEO works, please go to http://dict.leo.org and try it out yourself. You can start up Dilo directly and enter something into the search field to search for or you can call it through the services menu Define in Dilo. It doesn't matter whether you are searching for an english description of a german word or vice versa (and french/german, spanish/german respectively). Just select the word in the editor you are using, choose "Services->Define in Dilo" (or "Services->Define French in Dolo") and that's it.What's new in this version:Dilo now remembers the state of language-popup setting between sessions and added French translation (thanks to Ange).

Description: Where is M13? is a new astronomy application that helps you visualize the 3-D locations and physical properties of common deep sky objects. This perspective is rarely discussed in the astronomy books and software products on the market, which focus on apparent data such as right ascension, declination, visual magnitude, and apparent size. Where is M13? aims to address this important lack.Using paired face-on and edge-on views, the Galaxy View shows you where that cluster or nebula you enjoy viewing in your telescope is actually located relative to the center and plane of the Galaxy, providing a unique three-dimensional perspective of the Galaxy.The Object List provides important physical information about the objects you choose to list. Galactic latitudes and longitudes as well as luminosities, true sizes, and distances are displayed. A quick click of a checkbox brings up a display of the equivalent apparent data.The Sky View shows you where the objects displayed in the Galaxy View are located in the nigh...

Description: BugMirror is a different screen saver; as its packed with bugs!Nowadays screens are made out of pixels. What if they were made of living creatures instead of pixels?That's what BugMirror tries to explore, as it proposes a screen made of thousands of little bugs.The bugs react to camera input, trying to mimic what the camera sees. They are free to walk around and change their color. This creates a low-precision slow-reacting mirror, giving it a very organic and unique feeling.Every single Bug thinks locally, reacting to its surroundings. But by having thousands of them, all thinking on their own, makes the whole bug community work as a single entity.What's new in this version:Optimized parts of the drawing code, should feel faster (especially on lower end graphic cards).
