screen saver from a href="http://www.killerrobots.com/"Killer Robots/a does just that -- without
the mess of carving a pumpkin. It has over 25 pre-made designs, but you can also create your own
pumpkin designs in Photoshop using the carving template provided by the developer.br / br / The
screen saver features a very realistic pumpkin that rotates against a black background. You can
control many settings including: seconds between pumpkin design changes, camera rotation, quality,
and screen glow. In addition, you can select which designs you want shown. Check out our a
href="http://www.tuaw.com/photos/jack-o-lantern-screensaver/"gallery of screenshots/a to get a feel
for the quality of this awesome screen saver. You can download the screen saver from the
developer's a href="http://www.killerrobots.com/screensavers/"website/a.br / br / If you want even
more customization, check out the a href="http://iconfactory.com/search/freeware/halloween"Icon

heating up this weekend in advance of Tuesday's press event, and one left-field rumor is coming
from a familiar, yet unlikely source: a href="http://www.weblogsinc.com"Weblogs Inc/a./a
href="http://mahalo.com"Mahalo/a founder and a
href="http://twitter.com/JasonCalacanis/statuses/870852090"TUAW godfather/a Jason Calacanis, who
dropped a mild bombshell in a
href="http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/natelanxon/0,139102300,49299275,00.htm"an interview with a Cnet
blogger/a on Friday (yo, JC, where's the love?): Apple is developing HDTVs that will support
streamed content from iTunes, says Calacanis, integrating the a
href="http://www.tuaw.com/tag/AppleTV/"Apple TV/a functionality along with the display and tuner./p
pI would file this one under "signs unclear, ask again later" -- while Apple clearly has both the
display and playback engineering already done (a
href="http://www.9to5mac.com/Apple-Networked-TV"Cleve @ 9to5Mac/a suggests that "[t]echnologically
speaking, Apple could probably put together [this] product in a three day weekend") it's not clear
that a single-box product is that much more compelling than an Apple TV with a cheap HDTV. Then
again, the magic of Apple integration could make the whole a stronger sell than the sum of its
parts./p pWord from London, meanwhile, a
href="http://www.edibleapple.com/kevin-rose-drops-macbook-blu-ray-rumor-at-live-diggnation-event/"reported
via Edible Apple/a: star rumormonger and a href="http://digg.com"Digg/a founder a
href="http://www.tuaw.com/search/?q=Kevin%20Rose%20"Kevin Rose /aannounced his expectation that the
next round of MacBook laptops will feature Blu-ray drives onboard. This one rates a "probable" and
certainly would be a great value differentiator for the new machines./p pLastly, as the
NVIDIA-related reports continue, a
href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/11/apple_dumping_intel_chipsets_for_nvidias_in_new_macbooks.html"AppleInsider/a
and a href="http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=626"PC Perspective/a are stating with high
confidence that the new MacBooks will be the first to move away from the Intel integrated graphics
chipset and onto the Nvidia MCP79 'system on a chip' platform. Intel processors will still be at
the core of the laptops, but the NVIDIA chip will handle graphics, memory access and more.
Interestingly, a
href="http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/27/nvidia-9300-9400-tuesday"one of the
purported features/a of the NVIDIA hardware is full Blu-ray functionality... ties in nicely with
the Rose rumor above. Call it "more than likely."/p p[via a
