Review - F.lux

We all wind up staying at the computer late at night from time to time, be it to read up about something interesting, chat with some friends or just mindlessly surf around. During this time however, our eyes are staring at a bright light for hours on end. Not a good thing. Here's a nice "set it and forget it" type program that will help ease their pain. 

By telling f.lux your location you allow it to automatically change the warmth of your display when the sun has set, which in turn lets your eyes relax instead of being burnt. This is not the same as turning down the brightness however. This is much nicer. 

You can adjust the lighting settings and disable the effect for an hour if you are doing color-specific work. 

Give it a try, it comes in Windows, Mac, iPhone/iPad and Linux versions. You've got nothing to lose, but much to gain!
