Screensavers - Best Of
Advertisement Long, long time ago screensavers have been used to prevent the so-called screen-burn-effect — a permanent disfigurement of areas on a CRT display caused by non-moving text or graphics being displayed continuously for long periods of time. To avoid this effect, screen savers have been used to blank the screen or fill it with moving images or patterns when the computer was not in use. Today, screensavers don’t serve their original purpose and are primarily used for entertainment. In fact, we don’t need screensavers any more, however we tend to use them as eye-candy for our coffee breaks. However, if you are tired of the default screensavers brought to you by your OS you might start searching for the fresh ones in the Web.

Just unzip both files into the same folder and double-click the .scr file (after subscribing to some interesting photo feeds in IE7 Beta 2 Preview, of course :). Some people have asked what's the point of a an RSS screensaver? If you accept that a picture screensaver is interesting, then a screensaver that is automatically updated with pictures from a photo feed is just cooler. Enjoy. -Sean
