6. ogg to mp4 conversion using VLC

8. Web apps I constantly recur to.
You are probably familiarised with web sites. But web applications are less common, but in my opinion more useful. They give you the chance of sending data from you PC, and let the application's servers do the computation, and send us the result. I have a collection of sites I constantly use for verifying correct language usage, and colour matching graphic design.

10. Project Euler
Project Euler is a website that contains a number of mathematical problems that you can solve using a programming language.
NOTE: There's a slight mistake in the video. In the second column of the table shown in Marius's approach to the problem, the last number we care about is 995 (because 1000 is NOT less than 1000).

11. Cubic Explorer
A file explorer similar to Windows Explorer only much much better. Way better in fact. It is not limited to looking at just windows it can look on all external hard drives from inside of VirtualBox as well. Well worth taking it for a spin to see it it's up your alley!
