Learn about and support ocean life with TheBlu 3D Ocean Screensaver for Mac

Conservation of marine life begins with knowledge and awareness. TheBlu 3D Ocean Screensaver for Mac tries to educate users about marine life and support conservation through social networking, but its functionality is spotty.

The program is available as freeware with a log-in and e-mail address required, but you can purchase additional marine life for the screensaver. TheBlu 3D Ocean Screensaver prompts with a Facebook log-in at startup so the user can share knowledge learned through the program with friends.

Place Watermarks with Star Watermark for Mac

Social media is full of watermarked photos, so this program would seem to be a great idea. With Star Watermark for Mac you can place text and image watermarks on photos. However, with the trial version you can only place watermarks on the included two trial photos.

TheBlu 3D Ocean Screensaver is far more than any screensaver we've yet seen, though, with an interactive display, social connections like chat, and … Read more

Skip this uninstaller

Simnet UnInstaller 2010 is a free utility for uninstalling programs from Windows PCs. It's compact and easy to use, and removes programs as completely as the Windows uninstaller. However, it does less than the Windows uninstall tool and similar free uninstallers. It also offers to help you manage your programs, but it only uninstalls them.

The Settings are limited to check boxes for automatic updates and creating a System Restore point before uninstalling software. … Read more

Irritating clipboard saver

Day Clipboard Utility is a basic program that automatically saves text and images and copies it to the clipboard. Although the program works well enough, certain aspects of its design make it hard to like.

The application's interface is somewhat cluttered, with a lot of buttons and boxes that aren't particularly intuitive. In fact, we're still not sure what some of the boxes do. You set the program to automatically capture either text or both text and images, and after that you just use your computer as usual. Anytime an item is copied to the clipboard, Day … Read more
