One of the friends has a Mac, and one of the cute effects that I see on his PC is a screensaver where the image seems to slightly zoom and pan. The effect is really cool, and brings some life to the photos. The one I love is the tropical beach… and on a screen saver it makes me want to just sit there for hours on end and not do any work at all!

Well, reading an article on IBM’s Developer Works I found out that this effect is called the Ken Burns Effect after the person who popularlised it in his documentory films. Greg Man has released a windows Screen Saver which is not only free, but also does the same things. Later I am going to install this and try it out!
