Pros: It's a great program with all kinds of help for students and general users.
Cons: Home users aren't going to get free stuff much longer from what I can see.
Summary: I was all set on Atomica, and I had it at home and I did have it at work. My computer at work runs as slow as the Pony Express during snow, so I emailed at work about that. They like you to email when your computer is broken, which really does not make a ... read more

Pros: The handiest free utility...ever
Cons: Requires full time Internet connectivity to be appreciated.
Summary: Atomica (formerly GuruNet) is a simple, great product. I hope that more people will start using it so that it doesn't fall victim to the dot-bomb fallout, because it is a truly useful product.

Pros: Fast; Works in its own small window
Cons: Its Answerbar is useless; better to shrink to system tray
Summary: GuruNet (now known as Atomica) is an excellent online "dictionary", at least for me. In fact, it's way more than a dictionary. Just Alt+click on any word on your screen, and Atomica searches the web and brings the most relevant information to ... read more

Pros: Small, Quick, and it gives ANSWERS
Cons: "limited" vocabulary
Summary: I love this service. I am a die-hard web search-engine user. I love searching the web for stuff. I also enjoy consulting the web with any questions that I may have. Google, as awesome as it is, only get's me links. Ask JackOff.com doesn't even know ... read more

Pros: speed, context sensitivity, convenience, quality of content
Cons: longer phrases not easily referenced.
Summary: This is, in my experience, a unique tool. The convenience of being able to activate a look-up with a single (or double, if using the right-click/menu method) mouseclick is just the start. The dictionary definition which is the usual default is ... read more

Pros: Lightning fast 411
Cons: None
Summary: GuruNet is the one application that you don’t want to do without. It’s the Farmer’s Almanac, dictionary, encyclopedia and thesaurus all together in the GuruNet window. GuruNet sits in your task bar as a yellow and blue “bright idea” light bulb and ... read more

Pros: Everything but the online thing.
Cons: You have to be online to use it.
Summary: I am not a hippie, but I do have a Guru. I do not live in a commune, but my Guru goes where ever I go. I am not some kind of weird-o because I have a Guru. What am I ? I am an epinions writer. My Guru is just there to aid me along the way with advice ... read more

Pros: Fast, Easy, Effective, Friendly, Convenient, Attractive
Cons: Sometimes a little off on the context, sometimes doesn't recognize phrases
Summary: I download a ton of junk. GuruNet isn't junk.
GuruNet is one of a very, very few programs that actually makes the migration on my system from one system reformat to another. Just to give you an idea, the others are things like my e-mail ... read more
