Who said screensavers were dead? Sure, our monitors dont really need them anymore and screen burn is a thing of the past, but some people still like them. I love them. I think they are great, so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you.

Polar Clock

POLARCLOCK

Its available for both Mac and Windows, and also as a dashboard widget for OSX Tiger.

Flying Toasters

FLYING TOASTERS

There was a heap of screensavers on there and Flying Toasters was one of them.

Faar Clock

FAAR CLOCK A giant Analog clock that looks fanastic, and it tells you the time.

Twingly

TWINGLY

Using RSS Feeds from blogs around the world, Twingly plots where the activity is happening on a spinning globe.

Flip Clock

FLIP CLOCK

Another clock screensaver. This one looks like one of those old fashioned flip clocks.

BSOD Screensaver

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

This Microsoft screensaver cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen’s BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration.

AJ Screensaver

HAND WRITTEN CLOCK
This one is cool because the numbers are handwritten, with a hand coming in each time to write the new number.

Electric Sheep

ELECTRIC SHEEP

Now this is one cool screensaver. It is actually open source and thousands of people have contributed to it. How do they contribute? Well, when their computers “sleep”, the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as “sheep”. Its fantastic.

Fire Screensaver

FIRE

This one is cool. Its sets your desktop on fire. Each and every item on your desktop – including icons and all open windows will appear to catch on fire, glowing and emitting a smoke. If you have your sound on, the fire will even crackle and pop.

Dance

DANCING JAPANESE GIRLS

This one is a little weird. Its a clock, that flick to a group of Japanese girls dancing, then flicks back to a clock.

Digg Screensavers

DIGG

All of the products from Digg Labs are now available as scrrensavers. Stack, also download BigSpy, Swarm and Arc.

Star Trek

STAR TREK SYSTEM 47

This one is for all the nerds who love Star Trek. Personally. It turns your desktop into the library system from Star Trek. It will runs scans of the universe and the Enterprise.

Fireflies

FIREFLIES

This one is just too pretty to leave out.
