Google Hacks: Build a Google Screensaver

Overview Along with desktop backgrounds, screensavers have always been a feature of personal computers that people feel comfortable changing, tweaking, fiddling with, and hacking for fun. And by scripting Google Images, one can create a screensaver based on images from across the Web. This paper relies on the screensavers that ship with Windows XP and Mac OS X. Each screensaver allows to specify a directory on the computer that contains images, and displays those images on the screen during the computer's idle moments. A Perl script downloads images from a Google Images search that one specifies.
