It’s still nice to find a decent screen saver to have running on your PC while you step away from your desk or laptop. The included Windows savers are as just as bad ad they always have been, and there is no sign of them getting better. Why not incorporate random news headlines to your PC’s screen saver, and display random news pop-ups throughout the day. We can do this with an application called MappedUp.
MappedUp is a screen saver application for Windows, that runs on your PC and displays spontaneous news around the web. It can also incorporate your own RSS feeds, and display them as well. It has nice visuals, and is very easy to setup. I should note that registration is required however.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since.
My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up.
Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about. My posts are displayed here at TheWindowsFix, MakeUseOf and ConnectedInternet.
