Other interesting properties: fluorescence, solarization, birefringence, and discharge-free zone When acrylic is irradiated by high-energy electrons, it glows a brilliant blue-white color.

Screensavers - Best Of
Advertisement Long, long time ago screensavers have been used to prevent the so-called screen-burn-effect — a permanent disfigurement of areas on a CRT display caused by non-moving text or graphics being displayed continuously for long periods of time. To avoid this effect, screen savers have been used to blank the screen or fill it with moving images or patterns when the computer was not in use. Today, screensavers don’t serve their original purpose and are primarily used for entertainment. In fact, we don’t need screensavers any more, however we tend to use them as eye-candy for our coffee breaks. Particularly complex and colourful 3D-screensavers are extremely nice to look at.

Source is available if you want to tweak it yourself. I've posted a compiled version if anyone wants to just take a look without having to compile it themselves. Usual caveats apply: this is sample code, it may not work, it probably won't affect your computer in any negative way, but it hasn't gone through rigorous testing, so I don't know for sure.
