Use a Screensaver as Desktop Wallpaper with Wallsaver

Mac OS X only: Turn your desktop into a photo slideshow using freeware app Wallsaver.
Wallsaver is a very simple application written in AppleScript that replaces your wallpaper with the current screensaver.
Setting the wallpaper as Flurry (shown above) is pretty annoying, however, using your pictures folder is an excellent way to use your desktop as a digital picture frame.
A few months ago we showed Linux users how to get the same effect using a nautilus hack.

locoGPS hacks into the iPhone barrio

O sweet jeebus, could it be? Why yes, that’s the “stylish plastic enclosure” promised for the partfoundry GPS module iPhone hack.
At least, it’s the first rendered appearance.
Initially peeped over at Engadget Mobile on Friday, the newly named locoGPS module requires a Jail Broken iPhone to work.
A new video shows the SiRF Star III chip doing its positional thing in support of Google Maps.
The $89 hack remains on track for a February 2008 release — you know, around the time when the official SDK launches and presumably… hopefully, an official iPhone GPS module is announced.
