Screensaver
whatis ^

Posted on 07/07/2012 5:36:19 AM PDT by JoeProBono

A screen saver is an animated image that is activated on a personal computer display when no user activity has been sensed for a certain time. The original purpose of a screen saver was to prevent burn-in (the burning of an image into the phosphor inside the cathode ray tube after hours of the same image being rescanned). In fact, today's CRT display technology makes burn-in unlikely except under extreme conditions. (On larger displays used for room presentations, burn-in is still a possibility.)

I like some SSs but they should have a mute app.

Is there a way to put a screen saver on your TV? If I’m not around, the kids will leave the tv on Netflix. After watching a show Netflix defalts back to the intro/select screen and will stay on that still image all day if not changed.

Have you ever tried Electric Sheep?
It’s pretty awesome.
