| BlueScreen Screen Saver v3.2 Buzzz 16:02:28 |
| Do you remember the scaring Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) popping up whenever something goes terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but also simulates startup screens seen during a system boot. It requires DirectX and runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 9x.
• On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with errors!
• On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen, complete with rotating progress band and progress control updates!
• On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it present the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen with progress bar!
Bluescreen 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 - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen is running on.
Bluescreen is perfect to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/BlueScreen.zip |

| Learn While You Sleep Buzzz 13:44:10 |
| German researchers have found that by using the right timing and electrical stimulation, they can improve a person's ability to remember facts.
A team of researchers in Germany has found that a certain type of memory improves when a person's brain is stimulated with a mild electric current during a particular phase of the sleep cycle.
In recent years, there's been evidence to suggest that REM sleep and non-REM sleep serve to strengthen neuron connections for different kinds of memories. While the scientific community is split on just how these phases influence memory, a group of researchers from the University of Lubeck have recently focused on non-REM sleep, specifically the initial, drowsy, slow-wave phase. They're interested in its role in strengthening declarative memories, otherwise known as fact-based memories, as opposed to other types of memory such as motor-skill, or procedural learning.
