Screen savers have a security purpose in businesses such as securing unattended desktops from prying eyes as people take their coffee breaks. These can be set as security extensions for people who work with financial institutions or other vital offices that may have confidential information displayed on their screens at all times. That is if they are configured right and used as they were designed for by the IT department or support personnel. Some people fail to realize the security these graphics programs can attain. Most people simply see them as a nuisance and IT sees it as a waste of time. Read the rest of this entry »

Screen savers are relics of the days of old and are today quite irrelevant when it comes to saving power. Energy star rated products are already mandatory, capable of turning themselves off at pre-set intervals to prevent the old nemesis of the CRT tube, screen burn or phosphorus burn-in. The old problem of the screen getting imprinted with the most common image projected onto it by the electron gun.
Newer LCD displays do not suffer this problem though they can suffer from dead pixels or LED elements that burn-out prematurely due to faulty manufacturing procedures. This is expected though a few dead ones are hardly visible. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you know that using a screensaver not only helps keep your monitor last longer, it also helps save you power?
The monitor and displays are the biggest consumers of power in your PC, yes, even bigger than a normal central processing unit (now if your CPU is super buffed up, like one for gaming with fancy shmancy attachments, it might be another mater entirely) so it simply makes sense that when your monitor temporarily turns itself off through the screensaver, you save power.
When doing long tasks like scanning for viruses and spyware and malware, or defragging your disk, converting or rendering videos or photos, downloading files or copying large files, burning a CD or DVD – more or less tasks that render your PC slower – always have a screen saver kick in after a couple of minutes so that you can save up on power.

The advent of the screen saver was actually a way of securing your desktop in the office and at home whenever you stepped out for sometime preventing unauthorized access to your work. The term screen saver was actually a term used to describe the many programs that still utilized the windows-api allowing them to work within the framework of the operating system. The influx of today’s LCD displays are making the use of such programs a bit too redundant for they were designed for use on older CRT displays which suffered from burn-in where an image that was imprinted onto the phosphors themselves leaving them there forever.

Screensavers are usually just made up of cutesy pictures or something that the user likes. However, there’s a screensaver out there that not only looks good, but your computer will be used to search for life in other planets:
“The program can be downloaded and installed on a home computer,” Wertheimer said. “It works as a screensaver, performing analysis on the data received from SETI at home.”
He said each home PC is sent a small chunk of sky data to analyze.
“With 2,000 computers looking at their own piece of sky data, it is the equivalent of the biggest computation on the planet,” he said. “Once you’ve got the data in your computer it will start sifting through hundreds of millions of different radio signals, looking for some faint signals from a distant civilization.”
