Wobzip: Uncompress files on the fly (on the web, that is)
Wobzip is a new startup service that allows you to uncompress a wide variety of compressed files directly online. Not sure why you'd want to do that? Read on, friend.Wobzip offers a simple, clean interface, with a paucity of buttons: you've got the browse button (we know what that does by now, don't we?) and the uncompress button. Once you've selected a file from your machine, set Wobzip to work by hitting the uncompress button. After a short period of activity, which includes a quick virus scan, Wobzip displays the uncompressed files for you to pick and choose from.
Not impressed yet? We were just holding back.
Wobzip's main strength (and usefulness) comes from the ability to uncompress files directly from a URL. Rather than having to download a file in order to uncompress it, you can paste in a URL, and Wobzip will uncompress the file and show you its contents. This is especially useful for users with slow internet connections: you can pick and choose which piece of the compressed file to download rather than having to download the entire file.
At this time, Wobzip supports 7z, ZIP, GZIP, TAR, RAR, CAB, ISO, and more, with a maximum file size of 100 MB.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
