Mapit!
Mapit! A Firefox extension. Highlight a phone number on a web page and get a map and driving instructions of how to get there instantly using Google maps. Kind of useful. If you live in the US. And are near a PC. Personally I’d prefer if it ran mobile on Minimo. [Thanks Erick]
Read MoreRoot it out.
RootkitRevealer. Root Kit = nasty kind of malware. RootkitRevealer = detector. Definitely worth remembering.

Read MoreSpy writing.
The Digital Spy Camera Pen. $69.95. The strange thing about this surreptitious slither of a scribe is the audible speech feature.

The Multifunction Car Utility Tool. You know the Ferret hearts convergence, doncha? Well here’s a doozy. Flashing flashlight [Eh?…Ed], radio, siren, glass breaking hammer and seat belt cutter.

Read MoreBurnCDCC.
BurnCDCC. Nice little freeware utility for burning ISO files to CD. Saves powering up big clunky progs like Nero. This utility is used to burn an ISO file to a CD/DVD disc. Many new systems come with a limited CD/DVD software package which lacks the ability to burn .ISO files.
