While I’m not very much into mathematical calculations and the windows calculator works just fine for me, I know that students doing research online, especially engineering students would love to use an advanced online calculator which has better functions than the windows calculator.

eCalc is a free calculator which has both the basic and the advanced versions. It’s browser based and easy to work with. It’s scientific calculator has advanced features like support for complex numbers, unit conversion, base conversion, and has a built in equation solver. Those interested in using this should first watch the demo video which gives a good explanation of the advanced features and how to use them.

We’ve already talked about some sites like Dumpr and Gooifier which let you apply nice and weird photo effects to your images easily and quickly.

Photofunia is another such site which lets you add some nice effects to your photos and has more options then the sites mentioned above. The images should be not more than 500 KB in size and should be in jpeg, png or gif format.

Wanna read the latest issue of Time magazine, PC Magazine, Playboy or Penthouse ? And wanna do it without paying a dime ? Mygazines will come to your rescue. It lets users upload magazines, product brochures and manuals and share them. And in the last 3 hours of using it (for the obvious reasons ), I’ve found that it has new issues uploaded in full of almost all popular and sought after magazines ( mostly US/Canadian editions )  in its diverse collection.

Mygazines has an adult filter and you’d need to register to turn that off and read the latest issue of magazines having content for 18+. And it offers an excellent interface which lets you flip through the magazines seamlessly.You could actually drag your mouse from the corner of a magazine and literally see it turning the page.

Gooifier is a cool and easy photo distortion tool which lets you add some hilarious effects to images easily and without the need of using Photoshop.

It doesn’t require registration unless you’d like to create an album of such images. You can just upload a photo and start distorting it. Here’s a distortion of Google co-founder Sergey Brin found in the Public Gallery.

Just after 4 days of publishing the post - 3 Apps To Make Things ‘ Tiny ‘ For You , we find that the immensely useful TinyURL has added another feature to add more flavour to its url shortening service.

Here are 3 apps which help you in sharing things easily by making them short and tiny.

1. TinyUrl

I’m sure almost all of you reading this know about TinyUrl. It’s a url shortening service and it shot into fame  recently when it became an extremely useful way to share links in Twitter. There’s also a nice bookmarklet which you can add to your browser toolbar and it lets you shorten the urls in 2 clicks.

2. TinyPaste

Zoomii is a website which calls itself the ” Real ” online bookstore. Those who are avid readers and love buying books from Amazon then you’d certainly love this website because it presents the Amazon books like a real bookstore, featuring the cover pages in different shelves, with the best sellers in front. You can use your mouse to zoom in or zoom out and drag it left or right to check different shelves.

Further it allows you to check categories and search them too. If you click on a book, it gives its description and the Amazon price. And if you decide to buy it, you are directed to the Amazon payment gateway.
