Gruber at Daring Fireball links to DropClock, a screen saver “featuring Helvetica Bold numbers dropping into water in super-slow-motion.”
I’m sure there’s people who will appreciate this, but I haven’t downloaded it — at 100MB and $15, I feel like the press in Deep Space Homer1.
But I think DropClock also deserves some special mention for generating the most horrible subpixel rendering of any web page ever for the all-caps description at the top of the page. I’m still trying to figure out how they managed this. Is this a Flash “feature”?
