- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- 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…
- 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…
- 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…
- Spring River Screensaver — Climatologists around the world may have a point stating that global warming is not a myth any more. Winters are getting shorter and milder, the crisp of snow under your feet is becoming a rare occasion and the feeling of relief and joy upon sensing the first blow of spring air after a cold, snowy winter is something we start dreaming about in November. If you feel like seeing the awakening of nature right now on your…
- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors. Standard Windows screensavers are not even nearly as impressive as commercial products available on the market. If you are looking for a bright, eye-catching and unusual screensaver, check out…
- Perfect Clock, It's an Art — Numerous times a day we look at the clock — on the wall, on the desk, on our computer desktop… And what do we see? — A pair of arrows in a circle or a few digits around the blinking dots? Perfect Clock gives a whole different idea on clock and timing, presenting time as a perfect combination of punctuality, power and art. Perfect Clock is a very flexible desktop…
- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
- Video Guide to Paint Shop Pro - all you need to create a masterpiece in no time — Starting with Paint Shop Pro is not easy. As intuitive as it is, it’s still a complex solution which requires months to get used to. Luckily, there are many ways to accelerate this process — books, tutorials and lessons are widely available in stores and online. However, most of them are too wordy, too general (or, on the contrary, too focused) or do not give a clear picture of the process…
