Instead of displaying data as a desktop notification, YoWindow features a colorful, fully-animated window that displays a nice landscape and changes according to actual weather conditions.

Besides having a very original interface, YoWindow is also quite informative. It displays the current weather situation (sunny, cloudy, rainy and so on) plus temperature (both real and the one it actually feels like), wind, pressure, and humidity. All these conditions are reflected in an customizable animated background – which you can replace with your own photos as well.

YoWindow includes the weather forecast for the next three days. You can click on each day to access the information right away, or move the timeline on top to check how weather conditions change as hours go by – and also see beautiful sunsets and dawns. The program can be set as your default screensaver as well.

Generally speaking, YoWindow is a surprisingly nice weather forecast tool, though I missed having more landscape designs to use as background. Another annoying detail was not to be able to scroll down the list of countries and cities with your mousewheel when choosing a location.

YoWindow is an original, colorful app for checking the weather forecast on your computer.

When satisfied with the results, you can set the screensaver as your default Windows screensaver. If you want to share created screensaver with others for free, you can build its installation package by using a "Create" option.

Unlike other screensaver makers which require users to use their own images, Live Screensaver Creator offers a search engine approach. Instead of images, users of Live Screensaver Creator enter keywords to describe images or website addresses they want to appear in the screensaver. Live Screensaver Creator then finds the corresponding images and websites on the Internet and displays them as the screensaver.

Infected Screen Saver is not DirectX or OpenGL based. Simple flooding your screen with green characters can be described as somewhat orthodox and can be probably better accepted by the more experienced audience not liking the animated screensavers.

What's new in Picasa 3

The latest version of Picasa includes sharing on Google+, including sharing of name tags. You'll enjoy the range of new effects that have been added, allowing you to quickly make stylish changes to your photos. Side by side editing means you can keep an original copy of your photo for reference while you're making experiementing with effects and levels.

What's inside Picasa

Google Picasa features enriching options to manage, edit, and show off your photos in an even more comfortable way, both offline and online – thanks to the Picasa Web Album syncing tool.

It includes Picasa Photo Viewer, which you can configure to replace the original Windows default image viewer. It offers more tools and displays photos on a much nicer interface when viewing them directly in Windows Explorer, so when Picasa asks you if you want to use it, don't hesitate!

How Picasa works

Picasa displays all your indexed photos in a handy folder structure. You can let the program scan the whole drive in search for pictures or select specific directories. A double click on any image will display it in full screen and let you access to a handful of basic editing tools: cropping, straightening, adjusting color and light or fixing red eye, among others.

The possibilities are endless

But Picasa is not only about viewing and fixing images. You can also give free rein to your imagination with its tools to create posters, collages, screensavers and even movies. The greatest thing about these tools is not only the fact that they give you the ability to create something unique and original with your photos; it's also that they're surprisingly easy to use, and don't require any tech abilities or photo editing skills at all.

Conclusion

The all-new Picasa has successfully completed what seemed a difficult task: improving a software app that was already very good.

it can bake a plum-cake with crumbs.

It is very similar to an old X-windows screensaver but does not share any code nor the equations. In fact I've not seen the source code of the original X/Windows swarm screensaver. Also this screensaver unlike the original lets you play with all the parameters constituting this system. It ever gets more interesting on faster machines, since one can increase the complexity of the system by e.g. increasing the number of bees.

The user must already be able to appreciate mathematics and physics to be able to enjoy this screensaver.

The developer of Dream Aquarium Screensaver calls it a 'next-generation' aquarium screensaver but doesn't explain what they've done to make it so. Whatever it is, the level of realism in terms of graphics, movement and stunningly bright colors is impressive. The swimming actions of the fish are particularly realistic as they nibble bits of food, dart in and out of coral and even chase each other.

The details in Dream Aquarium Screensaver even stretch to moving eyes, gills and mouth and different refractions of light as they hit the water. There aren't many options, although Dream Aquarium Screensaver will at least allow you to display the fishtank in widescreen format and even over multiple monitors if you wish.

Unfortunately, the Dream Aquarium Screensaver trial only features two different species of fish but if you upgrade, you get 16. Note that you'll also be plagued by the odd pop-up window using the demo version.

For pure realism, Dream Aquarium Screensaver deserves full marks but you'd have to upgrade to the full version to do it justice.

Norman Antivirus & Antispyware protects your computer against viruses, trojans, worms, rootkits, spyware, and other dangerous code. The software is armed with "proactive technology", comprising of Norman Sandbox, DNA matching and Exploit Detection. The program includes a background guard and gives you the ability to scan manually and schedule scans.

Norman Antivirus & Antispyware is very easy to set up, thanks to a wizard, based configuration process that lets you tinker with the settings to the extent that best suits your level of expertize. If you desire, you can tell the program to give you live stats on the files scanned and infections found.

One interesting feature in Norman Antivirus & Antispyware is its protective screensaver. This is an interesting idea, whereby the application is able to perform scans while your computer is idle, as long as you have the screensaver active.

The downside of Norman Antivirus & Antispyware is that it consumes a lot of system resources. Given that it has fewer features than many rival solutions, it's surprising that it sucks a lot more RAM. Even the installation and registration process is slow!

While it offers solid protection and an innovative screensaver feature, Norman Antivirus & Antispyware is ultimately flawed due to its system-hogging ways.

The Windows Live Photo Gallery interface itself is clean, clear and easy to use. It provides a great platform for your images and the picture quality in the slideshow function is excellent. Windows Live Photo Gallery also features great tagging and sorting functions and a few nice extras, such as the ability to order prints directly from online retailers, burn to CD and publish to a group.

Unfortunately, many of these extras require you to install a supplementary program or sign up for a Windows Live account. Add that to Windows Live Photo Gallery's simplistic editing tools, and suddenly the program isn't looking so rosy.

In fact, Windows Live Photo Gallery even appears to have lost a few features since the last version, as there is no sign of the screensaver function of the beta version and you can only make thumbnails that measure 100 x 75 - not exactly what I'd call progress, Windows!

Windows Live Photo Gallery is a good program for heavy Windows Live users who don't need much editing power.
