Nothing’s better than clicking a link and discovering something new and cool, especially an app that is both visually impressive and functional. Well, here is just such a link. It’s called Audiotool. It's an online virtual reproduction of audio equipment...
There tends to be a perception about the Internet that all the cool new applications are being developed by young people, even pimply-faced teens, pounding out code in their garages, often building fortunes rather than going to college. Well a...
