screensaver

A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.

Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.

screensaver tripping

v. "Screensaver tripping" is the act of staring at your screensaver for hours on end, whether under the influence of mind-altering substances or not. Sometimes this is done as a substitute for *actual* tripping, although more often than not, it's the combination of the two that produces the wildest experience.

College Guy: Somebody call 911! Jay's been screensaver tripping again!

Screensaver Sunrise 

Expression coined by WRC-TV (Washington DC) meteorologist Tom Keirien to describe a sunrise so impeccably perfect that words are inadequate; the only tribute to do it justice would be to freeze-frame and fly the image into a computer to use as desktop artwork.

Use of the term "screensaver" might be considered inaccurate were the image to be used for the Desktop or as Wallpaper instead of as a screensaver. But in context the usage is acceptable, as everyone gets it.

Newshosts - What's the weather like, Tom?

Tom - Take a look at our City Camera at this screensaver sunrise.
