Planet Venus 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10731

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. The name comes from the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Venus has been known since prehistoric times. It is the brightest object in the sky
except for the Sun and the Moon. It was long thought of as the Earth's twin. Many believed that it contained a lush, earth-like environment. In reality the harsh conditions of Venus restrict our understanding of Earth's nearest neighbor. However, little by little, scientists are trying to unlock its secrets, uncovering the mysteries of the cloud-shrouded planet. Even so, it may be a long time before we really know our closest planetary neighbor.
Planet Venus 3D Screensaver is a great 3D model of the planet that will turn your desktop into the eyepiece of a powerful telescope.

Planet Uranus 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10730

Uranus is unique in our solar system because it is tilted 98 degrees. When viewed from Earth, it appears to rotate on its side! At different times throughout its orbit, we can actually view one of the planet's poles head-on. The atmosphere is composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The temperature in the upper atmosphere is so cold that the methane condenses and forms a thin cloud layer which gives the planet its blue-green appearance. Uranus is the farthest planet from Earth that can be seen with the unaided eye but of course this can only happen on a clear, dark night.
How about having the opportunity to watch this unique planet any time you like? All you need is this terrific Planet Uranus 3D Screensaver on your desktop!

Planet Saturn 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10729

Saturn is a large gas planet with an atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. It has the lowest density of any planet in our solar system. In fact its density is so low that it would float if it was placed in water! Visually, Saturn is flattened at the poles, due to the quick rotation on its axis. The winds in its atmosphere reach speeds up to 1700 kilometers per hour! Saturn is known for its extensive ring system which is formed by a thousand individual rings. They are mainly composed of water ice and dust.
Planet Saturn 3D Screensaver is an extraordinary 3D representation of this fascinating ringed planet.

Planet Mercury 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10728

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and the second-smallest planet in the solar system!
It is about the same size as our Moon. Mercury travels around the Sun faster than any other planet. That is how it got its name. It was named after Mercury, the swift messenger of the gods in ancient Greek mythology. It has a very thin atmosphere consisting of atoms blasted off its surface by the solar wind. Mercury's cratered surface appears very similar to the Moon. Its temperature variations are the most extreme in the solar system ranging from +427°C to -173°C.
The planet can only be seen from Earth just before sunrise or just after sunset. But of course you can always download Planet Mercury 3D screensaver that will get you acquainted with this mysterious planet!

Planet Mars 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10727

Mars has always fascinated people. Its red, fiery appearance is mysterious and intriguing. Many believed in the existence of an ancient race of Martians that appeared in numerous sci-fi stories. However with new data coming from space probes, a growing number of scientists now believe that life on Mars is quite likely. It is a relatively small planet, with about half the diameter of Earth. Its surface would be a harsh place for humans, but it is more like the surface of Earth than that of any other planet. Mars has polar ice caps that contain frozen water and carbon dioxide. The planet’s two moons, Phobos and Deimos, were named after the dogs of the Roman god Mars.
Roughly two-thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars have failed for no apparent reason. You do not have to worry though because this screensaver will get you there safely.

Planet Jupiter 3D Screensaver       version 1.0

Category: Desktop::Screen Savers: Science :::: 10726

Jupiter is twice as massive as all the other planets of the Solar system combined. At the same time it rotates faster than any other planet - in less than 10 hours. Its low density indicates that the planet is composed primarily of the lightest elements - hydrogen and helium. Colorful latitudinal bands, atmospheric clouds and storms illustrate Jupiter's dynamic weather systems. The planet is well-known for The Great Red Spot, a complex storm moving in a counter-clockwise direction, across the planet.
Jupiter is encircled by at least 61 satellites and a series of thin rings which makes it similar to a miniature solar system.
When viewed through a modern telescope, the flattened disk of Jupiter has a pearly color with bands of pastel browns and blues. But you will get a much better view if you download this awesome screensaver.

yRead2       version 2.0.44

Category: Audio & Multimedia::Speech :::: 10724

yRead will load a plain text (TXT) or HTML file and display it in a single-column, resizable window. Then it will read the file to you out loud, using human speech. You can even get voices for other languages. Use it to listen to ebooks, your own writing or any other piece of text.

yRead now includes a catalogue screen for the online Gutenberg archive - it will retrieve the latest catalogue, show you a sorted list of all titles and allow you to pick, download and listen to any of them.

yRead includes a translation table (see the help file). This enables you to build a series of phonetic spellings so that mis-pronounced words will come out correctly. This is a fairly dumb string replace, so if you replace 'e' with 'x' you'll havx to livx with the consxquxncxs.

yPlay       version 1.0.9

Category: Audio & Multimedia::Audio File Players :::: 10723

yPlay is an MP3 player with multiple playlists and a clean interface. I find too many music players have tiny, ambiguous controls and overly complicated menu structures. I'm only interested in how quickly I can find and play a particular track or set of favourite songs.
yPlay has a filter built into the main screen - type in part of the MP3 title or artist and the list will only display matching tracks. Double-click the track you want, close the player to the system tray and forget about it.

Well, if you're always going to book sales and buying bargains only to get home and find you've doubled up, take a printout with you!
