Waking up is a social activity with TalkO’Clock
Currently in an open Beta version, TalkO’Clock, a “social alarm service” is a brand new way to indulge in social networking and may be its next evolution. TalkO’Clock lets you request and/or make telephone calls with complete strangers from all over the world. That sounds odd, at first, and I even heard one person call the idea ‘creepy’. But looking deeper into the concept and the actual process and product, one begins to see a certain genius in the idea and the possibilities of where it might lead in the future. Bear in mind that people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg were also told that their ideas were odd, crazy, impossible and even creepy. Continue reading ..

Rhine II, record setting image sold at $4.3 Mil, makes an OK desktop wallpaper
You may have heard of this photograph taken in 1999 by Andreas Gursky, which sold at Christie’s in New York at auction for a record setting $4.3 Million on Nov 8 2011.
The buyer was not disclosed, and there is lots of speculation in the media as to why the three meter chromogenic color print face-mounted to acrylic glass was sold for so much: some mention that it is one of six, four of which are in major museums, others point out to it’s simplicity and abstract nature; yet others point to it being a contemporary twist on the German romantic landscape genre. At Freewaregenius, we speculate that the zillionaire who bought it may have considered that the image makes an adequate desktop wallpaper; not the best, perhaps, but perfectly passable

Reduce spam and information overload with Shortmail
Shortmail is a new web based email service that promises to reduce your spam levels, among other things. Designed to “re-invent email” Shortmail offers some interesting solutions to the problem of inbox overload, especially where spam is concerned. When I was first looking at Shortmail, I was rather taken aback by their concept. Their solution to spam, as well as many other email problems, is to limit the messages that can be sent through their service. Their limits include not allowing attachments in their emails, as well as a 500 character limit on each email sent or received.
At first glance, this seems rather ludicrous, especially for someone like me who loves to write long letters. However, with an open mind, I set out to explore what Shortmail has to offer, and I have to say I was rather pleasantly surprised. Continue reading ..
Challenge yourself with “Keys of A Gamespace”, an ‘expressive’ point and click adventure game
It’s rare that a game comes along these days that really creeps me out. With such things as the Resident Evil series, Dead Space, Silent Hill, and all the other games that are in the horror or survival horror genre, I sometimes get the feeling that I’ve been de-sensitized to anything really scary or creepy. Sure, a game can surprise me, startle me with loud sound effects or well-timed attacks by slavering zombies or disgusting aliens, but it’s unusual to find a game that actually scares me in any way, anymore. That’s why Keys Of A Gamespace was such a nice, refreshing change and challenge. Continue reading ..
