TeamViewer 4.1.6320

http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx

Various web technologies can help bring people together for business or pleasure, and TeamViewer is just one of the many applications dedicated to this mission. This application allows multiple users to screen-share and also transfer files across machines. The drop-down toolbar helps users easily maximize or minimize the other computer's screen, and the application's server remembers which computers users have connected to as well. This version is compatible with computers running Windows or Max OS X. [KMG]



Weather Watcher 5.6.51

http://www.singerscreations.com/Weather-Watcher.asp

Mike Singer has been working on his Weather Watcher application for sometime, and his hard work has paid off for those with a particular penchant for matters of an atmospheric nature. This version of Weather Watcher will automatically retrieve the current conditions, hourly forecast, daily forecast, and detailed forecast as reported by The Weather Channel. The application appears as an icon on the desktop, although users can also display weather maps as desktop wallpaper if they so desire. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 98 and newer. [KMG]
