I was thinking it would be nice to have pictures next to the actual articles instead just logos when it comes to front-page news. Personally I think it would be much more visually pleasing and more informative. Perhaps neowin should have people whose sole purpose is to create graphics for the news articles?

there is a graphics team to do that already


i dont see what you can change the current pics too..

i second that...

hmm i think he means he wants pics of the actual event rather than a company logo...

That's exactly what I meant, most news websites do that already why can't Neowin?

I would like to see an example of the site that does this.

It would be very nice but with the amount of news added here at this rate wouldn't it take a hell of a lot of effort to get all those pictures?

for example Engadget.com

I think it looks uglier IMO

Come on, think about the dial up people. Also, change doesn't have to happen just because it can. Leave things as they are neowin, I personally don't want to see pictures of kb987345986345 or tattybum.b50.vir.x.57 (thinking about it, how could you show a picture of a virus or a kb article?)

isn't this why neowin adds:
Screenshot: >> Click here <<

they put that so you can view some screen shots (if they are available)...

i kinda agree, it does look nicer, but it wouldn't work for everything - what would you show if the news was "Digital Clock as Thin as Paper" and there were no pictures released about it? or a hacker gone to jail. or a merger between two companies.

A picture of the clock
A picture of the hacker
Both companys with a Sync arrow

Other websites do this quite easily.

Read the part where he said "and there were no pictures released about it?"

well I guess it's up to neowin, i could see it working, but the front page would look very different (and would take up a bit more space)

It's simpler with just the logos.

And honestly, it's not such a big thing to trouble about- it's a tougher job for the posters aswell.

I think Neowin handles this issue very good. They use the company logo to show what they are talking about and links, screenshots to show some more information.
