Calcmoolator is a very neat collection of task-specific calculators, with a cute bovine mascot. The site provides an enormous number of calculators, like "Auto Lease vs. Buy", "Tip Calculator" (shown above), "Canadian Mortage", and even "Cost of a Baby" (a weird one, but it must come in handy for some people). The site looks very clean. Once you enter all of the variables and hit Calculate you ...

Before Windows 7 came out, I used to love Launchy. I'm a keyboard-centric kind of guy, and a keyboard launcher fits in perfectly with my workflow. Launchy wasn't the only app I tried; I think I went through just about every major keyboard launcher for Windows and quite a few minor ones as well (including several AutoHotkey scripts). And then Windows 7 came out, with its shiny new Start menu. No ...

When I wrote about the TimeAndDate Birthday Calculator, commenter Kevyn was quick to note that you can do "pretty much the same job" using Windows 7's built-in calculator. That statement may be a bit of a stretch, since Windows' calculator does not compute differences in hours, minutes or seconds. But still, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it can quickly and painlessly calculate the ...

They say birthdays only come around once every year; I say they're wrong! And I have the TimeAndDate Birthday Calculator on my side. For example, does it count as a birthday when I am exactly 1,5000,000,000 seconds old? Well, you could claim that you don't know the exact second of your birth, but some people know the hour. So, how about being exactly 100,000 hours old? For the rest of us, there ...

When Wolfram Alpha first launched its iPhone app, the powerful features were overshadowed by the massive price. $50 for an iPhone app?! Wolfram Alpha is like having a graphing calculator, plus a lot of other useful data, in your pocket, so the $50 price could have been seen as justified ... but not in a market where the majority of apps go for 1 or 2 dollars. Wolfram has reversed direction and ...

Does your laptop sport a full-width keyboard but you wish it had a numeric keypad? For those who crunch a lot of numbers, Sure, you can pick up a USB keypad pretty cheaply, but why lug around one more piece of plastic and PCB if you don't have to?

$timator is a site that purports to estimate the true monetary value of your website. Simply enter a URL, and $timator goes to work, analyzing things like search engine placings, back-links, and site structure to come up with an ultimate dollar value. When I tried it for my 5 year-old personal blog, it came up with a relatively modest $1979, which to be honest feels a little generous (but I'll ...

There've been numerous reports over the weekend that Microsoft has released another test build of Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista. While I tend to take leaked screenshots with a grain of salt, I'm a sucker for video - even if it doesn't show that much. So today I bring you a video of the integrated calculator that may ship with Windows 7. For the most part, if the leaks are to be ...

Sure Windows and Macs have built in calculators but we're web people so we need something on the web to make us not feel like we're totally mathstupid. Ecalc to the rescue. It's not just any calculator though. It's pretty and webified. They also have a scientific calculator for those who are ...

Calq can run in your Mac menubar or Windows tray, but you can just have the program run in the background with no icons. You can select a hotkey to launch the calculator, ...

Meeting Miser helps you figure out just how much money. The little web app works by pulling in average salaries for various job types and determining what their time is worth. So next time you ...

Could this online office suite steal people away from the popular Google and Zoho? It seems far from likely that Peepel will ever take market share away from the online office application space. However, they might look a little amateur, but a lot of development work has gong under the Peepel hood, showing how serious people are indeed trying to get into this space. Peepel has just announced ...
