Every now and then we all need to slow down and take a step back from the hustle and bustle of daily living to appreciate the world we live in. That is why this screensaver with breathtaking views of the earth is really something!

EarthView is a dynamic desktop wallpaper and screen saver, which displays beautiful views of the earth with daylight and night shadows. It produces high quality images for every screen resolution – even beyond 1600×1200. The program supports map and globe views, urban areas, city lights, geo-political boundaries and much more. Many options allow total customization of all view parameters.

EarthView supports four different beautiful maps of the earth, starting at 10 km resolution, which means that at 100% zoom level, 1 pixel on your screen equals 10 kilometers on earth. If you purchase the full version, you’ll get the possibility to download even more detailed versions of some maps, which have higher resolution. This means, they have much more detail, so you can zoom in even further! The demo version comes with just 1 map but you can download others online.

An updated version has just been released with these latest changes:

• New: date and time display in local format
• Fix: updated city database

One downside is the fact that it is overpriced. The full version costs like $25 and you may be wondering why you should cough up that much when there are other screensavers with similar features that are free. Well, you can go for the trial version just to check out the breathtaking pictures. If you feel it’s worth it to you, you can buy it, if not just enjoy the demo version.

In both you have a picture of a “perfect world” with herbivores and carnivores co-existing peacefully and in a nice and serene environment.

If you have had it with losing data to corrupted zip files and Self Extracting files [SFX], then this software might be for you. Advanced Zip Repair [AZR] is a powerful tool that helps you repair corrupted zip files and Self Extracting Files. It can scan the zip archives and recover your data in them as much as possible, to minimize the loss in file corruption. 

It’s attractive features include its ability to fix all sub-types of zip files and all kinds of self-extracting files and the fact that it supports the  repair of zip files on corrupted medias, such as floppy disks, zip disks, CDROMs etc. among others. 

To know whether AZR can repair your zip file successfully you’ll need to repair your zip archive normally in “Repair” tab. If it can be repaired successfully, you will see a message box after the repair process, where you can click the “Show Repair Report” button and see a report of all the recoverable items in the zip archive. For every item, the report will display its file name, file size, the packed size and its recoverable status.

The downside to this software is that though you can get the demo version for free there is a limitation; it will only show a report of all the recoverable items in the Zip archive, but will not output the fixed archive. To get the actual repaired Zip archive, you need to order the full version. Advanced Zip Repair has been recently updated and the updated version, Advanced Zip Repair 1.8 released.

The major changes in the new updated version:

• Improved the support to spanned/split zip files;
• Fixed some minor bugs
