- Active Desktop 1.043, No More Desktop — Do you really love that boring Windows «desktop» concept? I personally don?t. Even if I could believe there were desktops in size of a stool, I still wouldn?t believe that a handful of icons are the only things I could place on my desktop. I want some more of dynamics, I want some more of information, and I want some more of beauty, after all! If you feel yourself the same way…
- Battle screen saver 1.6. Let Them Die!!! — One of the coolest features about the old science fiction movies was space battle. Those naive but grandiose battlefields, thousands of different spaceships, huge asteroid-like battle-cruisers and small nimble fighters, explosion flashes and laser traces… Yes, those battles sometimes do return in the modern movies (for ex., the «new» Star Wars trilogy is quite a good one), but still they were born in 1980’s, with Star Trek and the…
- RemBoot - The Remote Reboot Utility. — Serious work with remote Windows servers sometimes suffers from lack of control over those servers. Of course, letting just about ANYBODY to control your server is not the greatest idea. But the owner and administrator of the server often feel that their hands are tied when the computer is miles away, the support team is fast asleep and unlikely to respond quickly to a pager, and all that is needed is a quick system rebooot…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…
- #7Z 0.7.2, Archiving With Grace And Power — In essence, #7Z (reads as «sharp seven zet») is an interface for free and effective 7-Zip compressing/extracting algorithm and library. But in fact, #7Z software is powerful general-purpose archiver software; I even tend to think it is the ONLY archiver software you’ll ever need. A small, fast, customizable, universal tool — that is how #7Z behaves in your hands. There are separate…

- Fairy Christmas Day 3D Screensaver 1.0, Saving Screen, Saving Mood — Screen-savers became popular in the good old days when they addressed an important, even vital, problem of — you’ll laugh! — saving the screen. In those sad old days, CRT screens had to change their picture frequently enough to prevent pixel burnout. Those sad times are long gone, and nowadays screensavers are just an entertainment: when you aren’t using your computer, why should it look like a boring workplace…
- WeiserWare Screen Saver Manager, Never Recurring Beauty — The job is done, and you won’t need the computer for a while. You wish you wouldn’t see its desktop stuffed with countless windows while you’re taking care of something else; however, seeing the same screen saver showing the same picture over and over while you’ve been around can just as well drive you nuts. How about a screen saver that never repeats? It has nothing in common with cycling pretty photos or messing…
- Turn Off Monitor Utility, 5 Bucks to Save the World — A monitor shining a flashy screensaver or uncompleted job is a whole lot of distraction. On a hot day, a needlessly working monitor contributes its extra portion of heat.
