Can you spell “free”?Wednesday, September 02, 2009Whoever said nothing in this world is free obviously hasn't heard of WordWeb, an awesome no-cost download for Windows PCs. WordWeb is a dictionary and thesaurus that lets you look up words from almost any program. Simply hold down the CTRL key and right-mouse click on a word, and a small window pops up with the definition, synonyms, antonyms and links to Wikipedia and other sites. This 7.4MB software can be used offline (except for the optional Web links, of course), and the database houses more than 150,000 root words and 120,000 synonym sets. WordWeb also includes proper nouns, related words, and pronunciations. The free program does not contain any spyware or adware. About This BlogWelcome to The Geek Weekly's blog, which is designed to deliver the latest in tech-related news, rumors, reviews and how-tos for your personal and business needs. You can also expect plenty of opinions, rants and tips. I am a syndicated technology journalist and author. I've spent the last 12 years waist-deep in gadgets, gizmos, gear and games. I'm very much living the "digital lifestyle," whether I'm flashing barcodes on my BlackBerry to board a plane, backing up my laptop's data onto a USB memory watch (Ok, so I know it's geeky) or jamming with my three kids in Rock Band. Like you, I love this stuff. So come back every Monday and Wednesday for new entries. --Marc Saltzman
