On December 23, 2007, the new software version 3.33 was released of JkDefrag, a piece of software that I keep in my USB toolbox all the time, and use it quite often for customers' computers normalization. The program represents one of the best free defragmenters and optimizers for all versions of Windows, starting from Windows 2K. The software is completely automatic, user-friendly, and fast, while not imposing the heavy load on the computer resources. Defragmenter is able to handle not only fixed, but also removable drives, like USB or memory sticks, offering to the advanced user several optimization strategies to choose from.

However, it is always good to have a choice. Find the collection of the overall 18 freeware programs I have posted as a Web List on RateItAll site:
http://www.rateitall.com/t-24216-password-managers--freeware-collection.aspx

Why do you need them?
Password managers are very valuable pieces of software, even thou you might use the built-in forms auto-filling feature from your Operating System. The stand-alone programs will give much higher flexibility and ability of the cross-computers use. You can find three major uses for them:
1. Filling user name and paswords on the pasword protected Web Sites. No need to remember anything.
2. Filling questionnaires and online forms with your standard personal information. Saves a lot of time to the Internet users.
3. Saving your data for passwords, credit cards, driving license in the portable password manager, when you go for travel. If your documents are lost or stolen, it will be much easier to restore them, and to call to your bank or credit company to cancel your cards.

The provided collection will give brief description, links to the authors Web Sites, and rating.

Break.com is launching a new site called Chickipedia.com, the worlds first user generated encyclopedia dedicated to famous women. With biographies, lists of hookups and full measurements for each girl featured, the female race is well-represented on Chickipedia.

How the site is describing itself? From "About Us" section:
“Chickipedia is the world’s largest web-based, women-based, wiki-based database of hot chicks on the planet. It is entirely user generated, making it the first female-only encyclopedia of the people, by the people, and for the people. All you have to do is have access to the internet, log on, go to our “Add New Chick” link, and voila—you can create a new article, or revise an existing one. Just be sure to do so within our guidelines or risk being spanked. Hard.”

My Heritage (http://www.myheritage.com/) is one of the most successful family networks focused on the genealogical research. You can create and show your family tree online, and exchange pictures with your friends and relatives through the shared workspace.
But, my review will be related to the “fun” section of this serious Web Site – Face Recognition. This section applies advanced face recognition technology to personal photos and family history; and you can do that for free, even without need to register on the site as a member. There are three options you can check:
1. Celebrity collage – there you can find out, which celebrities from the database you resemble, based on your facial features.
2. Celebrity morph – create a morph between your own picture and any other celebrity picture from the database.
3. Look-like meter – find out who your child resembles more from any family members.
