Hands on: Find a more interesting screensaver

March 20th, 2008 Ceasar

Screensavers were originally devised to prevent phosphor burnout on CRT monitors, something I’ve only ever witnessed on old ATM displays. With LCD panels there’s no real need for a screensaver, but we’re past the point where such things had a proper function and now they serve mainly to entertain.

From an energy-saving standpoint, screensavers are not a good thing. It’s far better to use Windows Power Management to put your PC on standby, or switch it off altogether, rather than contribute to climate change.

March 15th, 2008 Ceasar

MobileTV is slowly gripping the world because of its obvious advertising advantages.  MobileTV could have 210 million viewers and global earnings of $11.7 billion by 2011. But while transforming promise to profit is acknowledged to be a challenge, the service characteristics of personalization and convenience, driven by video convergence and supported by original value-added products, can create the compelling experience that’s imperative to switch on and retain a loyal audience for mobile TV. The fundamental building blocks for mobile TV — standards and content — are falling into place.

The industry is making progress on infrastructure interoperability and content management. Within the next 12 to 18 months, mobile TV handsets will be available that aggregate content from different technologies (such as 3GPP Multimedia and DVB-H systems) and across service provider networks.

Super saver

March 10th, 2008 Ceasar

One of the easiest and most popular ways of personalising a computer is through screen savers, they require no great technical knowledge to install or use. Screensavers started out as a necessary utility. Both Windows XP and Vista will show you how you can use photos stored on your hard disk as screensavers. The most basic type of screensaver simply blanks the screen. Others show pictures or colorful animations. The Old monitors would suffer if the same image was left on them for too long. Sooner or later the image would burn itself into the screen, leaving an irritating ghost image. In some severe cases the monitor could be left unusable.

The Bubbles screen saver provides a very pleasing display of transparent bubbles that gently float across your desktop. As they do, the bubbles change colors and bump into the edge of the screen and bounce in the opposite direction. However, that’s not all they can do.

The Bubbles screensaver has four settings that you can use to manipulate the appearance of the Bubbles screen saver. These settings correspond to four keys that you can add to the Windows Vista registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Bubbles). The ShowBubbles registry key allows you determine the background over which the bubbles float. With value of 1, the bubbles will float over the desktop. With a value of 0, the bubbles will float over a solid black background.
