Softkey Revealer Makes Saving Your Serials a Snap

I've used Magical Jellybean Keyfinder for a while to keep tabs on my Microsoft Office and Windows product keys, but what about all the other apps I have on my system?

SoftKey Revealer can track down serials from a ton of different programs. A full listing is available on the developer's page, and it includes apps like Photoshop, Corel Draw, Delphi, Autocad, Dreamweaver, and loads more. Some Microsoft apps (including Windows and Office) are not supported.

Game serials are not included, but you can download their GameKey Revealer software to grab them.

Lists can be saved in text or Microsoft Word format or printed.

Revealer is freeware, Windows only, and it's portable. Throw it on your flash drive in case you need to grab some keys for your parents or friends!

Keyfinder Thing: Find those Microsoft serials and CD keys

Keyfinder ThingHere's a scenario: Say you're getting a new PC and want to install your copy of Microsoft Office on it before you get rid of your old PC, but you've lost your CD key. Okay, I'm sure you can come up with a better scenario than that, but either way Keyfinder Thing is what you're looking for. It's a free app for Windows that will magically discover the serial numbers for all of the Microsoft software you have installed with just a few clicks. Keyfinder Thing comes in two versions: Full and Lite. Both are free and both do basically the same thing, but the former has a few more features and requires the .NET 2.0 FX library which you may or may not have. The latest version of Keyfinder Thing is capable of digging up the keys for more than 90 titles. The program's author, of course, is careful to warn against using Keyfinder Thing for illicit purposes. Don't do that, mmkay?

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
