WobZIP Offers Hassle-free Online File Uncompression

ZIP archives do a wonderful job of compressing files into a single package. In Windows, you can easily create a ZIP file by selecting some files, right-clicking and going to Send To -> Compressed.

But when you open the ZIP file through Windows, you do not get the option of individually extracting files; Windows automatically extracts the archive.

Sally Park Lets You Find Your Car Any Time With Your iPhone

More than once I have had trouble finding my parked car. I am sure you have too. Whether we park our car in the huge parking lot of a superstore, or in the assigned area outside a rock concert, or at the airport’s parking, remembering where exactly we parked our car can be quite a challenge.

Some people’s memory is great at this and they keep mental notes of nearby landmarks or hints, like signboards or parking rows. Other people get near enough to their car and sound off their car alarm using a remote; they then follow the sound to their car. But for iPhone 3GS and iPad users, by far the most convenient way to find our car is by using Sally Park.
