Handy screen app to change the tone and brightness throughout the day
Maybe you like staying up late and staring at a bright monitor whilst you peruse certain pictures, and that's why you've ended up with glasses and hairy palms.
This might not help with the hairs, but could help to reduce an element of eye strain at 3am when you try and make out what the pixelated sections from your favourite japanese site are.
Also, other interesting stuff at the guys site (http://stereopsis.com), who apparently also wrote picasa.
GC says neit.

Interesting....
But if this predicts WB purely by the time of day, how about the influence of weather, i.e. cloud? Let alone room lighting e.g. tungsten / flurencent bulbs!

it's not that clever
but can you can tweak the levels, or disable it if you're doing photo work.
It's more about automatically changing the brightness and tone, so you're not glaring at an overly bright screen late at night without realising the ambient light has dropped.
plus it's free, so if you don't like it, just uninstall it.

While I applaud the idea
Its not mucking about with the brightness, merely the colour temperature. For someone who does a fair bit of image editing in the evenings that's a definite no-no. I like the idea though.

No good at all if you're a graphic designer
with your work going to print, but for everyday use? Not a bad idea.
