Tsunamis, volcanoes, and floods, oh my! No one enjoys extreme weather events, so it is reassuring to know that a group of program developers have created Earth Alerts 5.0 to keep interested parties in the know about such activities. With this handy application, users will be kept aware of various worldwide manifestations of such phenomena, along with special overviews on severe weather occurrences in the United States. Visitors can also elect to receive email notifications as well. This version is compatible with computers running Windows XP, 2000, and Vista. [KMG]

A number of programs have been released in recent months that are designed to help computer users learn a bit more in any number of subjects. One such program is Ebbinghaus 1.3, which gives visitors the opportunity to create flash cards and then review them at their leisure. Visitors can export these “boxes” of cards to devices such as an iPod and use them as they see fit. On the Ebbinghaus homepage, visitors can take a look at some screenshots from the program and also read a few testimonies from satisfied users. This particular version is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.4 and newer. [KMG]
