Just a few days ago I was telling you about the APOD Wallpaper software, that automatically changes when a picture is uploaded to APOD. This time, the software is a bit different. It has to be said, some of the best pictures and wallpapers ever have been posted on National Geographic, but downloading them is somewhat of a problem, considering there are over 5000 to go around.

Well, that’s all been taken care of ! The Nat Geo freeware (download here) lets you take those lovely images of nature and set them as your wallpaper with just a click. The program also takes care of your resolution, and adapts the picture to it.

National Geographic has promised there will be constant updates and added packages to the software:

Future builds will add even more packs like: History, Adventure, Traveler, Sea Monsters, Seabed, Blue Earth, Green Earth, Forces of Nature, Lewis & Clark, Roar and many more! (As you can see, I have my hands full, so don’t miss out on these great wallpapers when they’ll be added!)

A timeline chart of SciFi predictions that eventually became true

I pride myself on being a science fiction buff. Asimov, Clark, Wells, Jules Verne — there’s a reason why we’ve all come to love these classics. What makes people so fond of science fiction, though? One may argue that it’s these novel’s uncanny ability to dwell the human mind and foresee things that are yet […]
