12 Days of holiday downloads, Day 10: Mac

hebcal screencap
As I mentioned today's Windows download post, we've been a little Christmas-centric around here. Unfortunately, though, quality of non-Christmas holiday downloads is one area where Mac users don't really have it better than Windows users. For the first night of Chanukah, though, I give you Hebcal, a little widget that takes you zip code, looks up the chart, and tells when to light the candles, for these eight nights, and holidays all year long.

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9

Readers SOUND OFF: Your Favorite Holiday Screensaver

ScreensaverAll the innovations on the web and the advances in technology, and we still can't come up with non-crappy screensavers easily.

For those who don't know where to go, or what screensavers are decent, with no crapware installation or computer hijacking software tagging along, tell us all what your favorite holiday screensaver is and where you can go to get it.

What is your favorite screensaver or site to get screensavers for the holidays?

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
