Despite its unclear history, the Sudoku puzzle is a really brain-breaking quest played all over the world and being an obligatory part of many newspapers. The company with…
- BeatSpeed 1.2, Technique before Creations — When you want to do something artistic, something creative, something completely new, you typically need to study the basics before. When you want to write a novel, you should learn writing, enrich your dictionary, and do lots of other «homework». When you want to paint, you should learn something about colors and brushes and paints, about mixing paints and drawing technique. And when you want to play drums, you should train your speed and…
- 3D Graph Generator 2.4, Visualize Smart! — The rapid development of modern computer-graphics hardware and software is a merit of computer games and other entertaining things. However, all those «entertainment-oriented» features can be effectively used for «serious» data visualization and analysis, completely changing the level of understanding of huge data arrays.

- InfoSeek - advanced data mining techniques at your fingertips — When it comes to extracting the necessary information from a large array of heterogeneous data, you normally have two options. The first and the least efficient one is to do the work manually — but this approach is plain inefficient when the size of the input file exceeds a certain value and becomes completely unusable when you are dealing with a large file or a website. The second option would be to hire…
- HashPass 1.6, Password Problem Solved Entirely — The password creation and storing problem still seams to be the greatest security hole in a diversity of systems.

- Total Game Control, The Helping Edge — Is it even appropriate to compare the feeling of playing a dynamic action game with the keyboard and the feeling of playing the same game with an intuitive control device — like a steering wheel for racing or a joystick for an action game?
