Cramberry Does Clean And Simple Online Flash Cards
4:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Online flash card web application Cramberry creates simple flash cards in an easy to use, clean interface—great for memorizing boring study terms. Using the web application requires creating a free account, after which you can build sets of cards in a single-lined, text-only, question-and-answer style. When using the cards in studying mode, Cramberry will repeat cards that you get wrong for extra practice. The sets can also be shared with other users, although there’s no place to publish a public list of cards for others to browse, so you’ll need to know a username to share with—but the clean and simple style makes this worth a look for anybody trying to memorise facts for class. Cramberry is a free web application, signup required. Cramberry [via Download Squad] More »

3:08PM Angus Kidman | Microsoft’s DreamSpark program, which offers free copies of its developer software to students, has been extended to Australia. Registered university and TAFE students (there’s a verification process) can download free copies of numerous MS developer tools, including the big hitters Visual Studio and Expression Studio. Of course there’s a not-so-hidden agenda here — encouraging students to develop skills with MS platforms help ensure a corporate appetite for those tools. Nonetheless, those are good skills to have on your resume. (Those tools aren’t small, so download them on campus or near the end of your ISP billing month to avoid chewing up too much of your cap.)
