Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Uh... I haven't really found any programs that specifically take advantage of it, but there are some things that just look cool.

-DVD (I bet you already tried this)
-Games that can take advantage of it (Quake 3 games such as RTCW, Call of Duty, etc)
-3D demos (such as the ones or screensavers, assuming you have an ATI card, perhaps things like if you don't)

Even better, don't bother showing off.

You're running at the wrong res then. 1400x1050 is normal 4:3; if you have WSXGA+ then you should be at 1680x1050 or whereabouts.

1280x800 is WXGA. Mine is a 15.4" screen, and I'm guessing his is too.

Half-Life 2 has an option to display in 16:9 aspect ratio. Not exactly a utility, but hey.
