Formula 1 fans like you should not only religiously sit in front of the TV to watch each single race (no matter what time it is), but also know all the F1 facts and dates by heart. And this is where F1X comes in handy.

This pocket-sized Formula 1 encyclopedia features one of the most complete collections of data about the popular racing championship, ranging from 1950 to last year's championship. You can review the driver's final ranking and other lists with grand prix winners, pole positions and fastest laps. The program also includes a small fact sheet about each driver with his personal records and some biographic data.

Despite being an exhaustive source of information, F1X lacks what I would consider to be an outstanding feature: the ability to update information automatically online, adding new results and new data as the current championship carries on. Oh well, at least you can manually add those new entries by yourself.

F1X is a comprehensive encyclopedia about Formula 1 with loads of information about drivers, races and speed records. Pity it's not automatically updated!

Can Brazil successfully defend the title and become champions for a sixth time? Will the backing of a partisan crowd spur Germany on to victory? And how will the chilling encounters in Group C between Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, Serbia and Montenegro and the Netherlands be resolved?

By playing the Predictor Game, you can forecast the results of each match at the FIFA World Cup in Germany. And to make things simpler for you, the group standings will automatically be calculated.

To play, simply type the results into the boxes on the Predictor Game page, based on how you think each match will be decided, e.g. if you think that Germany’s opening game against Costa Rica will end in a 1-1 draw, type 1 into the box next to Germany and do likewise in the box next to Costa Rica.

Complete the results for all of the matches in each of the eight groups and the group standings – together with the two qualifiers from each section - will automatically appear, without the need for you to do any arithmetic. Plot the path of each team right the way through to the Final – then hazard a guess as to who will end up being crowned world champions on 9 July in Berlin.

Compare your predictions with friends or work colleagues, send them a copy of your results sheet and see who guessed correctly. You can play the Predictor Game at either the group stage and then the knockout stage, or chance your arm by attempting to guess the outcome of the whole tournament in just one attempt. You can also print out the entire game and put your predictions on the wall.

Whether you bet money or not you can still have good fun guessing the results of games. NFL Office Pool is probably the most advanced in its genre.

This year I'm planning to use my computer to track all the latest stats from Europe’s football leagues. I’ve downloaded a copy of Ltrack, which lets you monitor your team’s highs and lows over the next few months.

Its interface is pretty simple but there’s a lot you can do with the app. As well as showing the league table standings, a wide selection of statistical information can be displayed, printed or exported in a variety of formats. I’m a massive stat fan and was impressed by the way you can view data on teams, players, goals and red and yellow cards.

You can display, print or export these statistics and tables in a variety of different formats and there’s a handy online update facility to keep your league up-to-date with the latest results over the Net. This feature is only available for certain leagues, but Ltrack is still a much easier way of tracking football league data than scribbling on a wallchart.

I’ve always wanted to dance salsa as it is funand stress-free, but I find excuses all the time for not actually doing it. Surely not knowing any of the dance steps is a valid justification. For all shy people who won’t attend a course because they feel clumsy, Salsaroc Salsa Shines offers some help.

With this application you have several salsa figures and a series of steps, of increasing difficulty. The graphics are rather crude and not really appealing, but in this case it’s the content that matters. What I’ve found extremely useful is the slow motion function, which allows you to see the steps in smooth, slow movements. This is something you wouldn’t even get from a face-to-face class and it’s the real advantage of having a course on your PC.

When attending courses, you might find difficult to understand where exactly to place the feet because teacher does it in front of you at his normal speed. In this application the teacher instead emulates your position, meaning he dances with his back to you, so that if he moves the left foot, you don’t have to think about which foot you have to move. It’s simply the left one! I know this may sound silly, but when figures get complicated I can assure you it eases things a lot. With the slow motion, finally you can see exactly where you have to place your feet, saving you from bad figures and your partner from bruises.

In order to get new lessons you need to go in the main menu and register your program, following the on-screen instructions. A full-screen mode is also available, but it doesn’t add much to the smaller frame view.

Salsaroc Salsa Shines helps you stand out on the dance floor, as it offers slow motion movements to help you clearly understand every position.

NFL Pool 2008 builds on the successes of the previous versions with a similar interface (we tweaked it a bit) and no reliance on the MS Office suite. We’ve built the program up completely from scratch to make it faster and more efficient, using aboslutely no previous source code. NFL Pool 2008 is brand new from the ground up. Report printing is better. Tracking payments is easier and more logical (and less obvious to office managers).
