- 3D Drunken Clock Screensaver — The corporate culture has its own idol; Time is the name. «Time is money», right? — However, it is much more than just money. Time is reputation; if you don’t value the punctuality, you don’t value your good name. Time is command playing; when you are in production relay race, a single latecomer in your team may lead the entire plan to the crash. It would not be a gross…
- Oparin Clock screensaver. A Sudden Invention — Some people (those with scanty imagination) like to say «nothing in today’s world can be invented». They are not original. Back in 1899, Charles Duell of the U. S. Office of Patents said, «Everything that can be invented, has been invented.» Now we know he was wrong. Thus, we can suppose today’s skeptics are wrong too, and there are still many areas for amazing inventions. Here…
- 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal! — There are several professions you would probably never try (and you don’t want to!) in your real life, but those professions are so romantically smelling and sounding, and dreamed of «sometimes, in other life»… For example, feeling yourself driving the big truck — those long dusty roads, strange cities, small restaurants at roadsides, friends and enemies. Hard, but faith work, work for real men. Some time, next life… This…
- 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.)

- 360 High Definition Screensaver Version 2, The Beauty Is Around — When you are looking at your computer’s screensaver, it’s about the same as if you were looking through a virtual window. You see something there, that thing may be pretty or scary, but it’s «behind the monitor». Many screensavers try to convince you, «you’re not in a stuffy office, you’re outside», but instead, you just see «one more window». 360 High…
- Sonar Screensaver 1.00, Listen The Ocean — In the calm and quiet world of ocean, sounds are very special. The ocean’s own life often uses the sound «radar» for navigating through its dark deep waters by «listening» or even doing the «active detection» (sending sounds and listening what they’ve bounced from). This idea is also utilized in human-made water and underwater vessels; modern «sound radars» — Sonars — are the…
- Tordex Wheel 1.0, Heroes of Usability — There are always many different opinions on the usability of operating systems (which means the ease and pleasure of use, ease of understanding, and many other things).

The first versions of Windows, despite the wide adoption, were highly criticized for the lack of usability; over the last years, Windows has passed through major…
- Spring River Screensaver — Climatologists around the world may have a point stating that global warming is not a myth any more.

If you feel like seeing the awakening of nature right now on your…
- RbApp: Why Reinvent the Wheel? — No matter how complicated a program could be — it always comes down to a combination of basic operations.
