Last week, Axialis Software released IconWorkshop v5.0 - arguably the most powerful icon editor / manager for the Windows platform. How about a nice little contest involving some of the most powerful sites on the Internet? Here's the deal: you create five (or more) icons, upload them to your [free] DeviantArt account or your own personal webspace, and one of the five judges may pick it.
The panel
Chris from lockergnome, MattEO from DeviantArt, KarmaGirl from WinCustomize, Voodoo from Neowin, and Marc from Axialis. We'll each pick our favorite set.
The Prize
The winners will not only receive one copy of IconWorkshop Corporate Edition, but their icon sets will get bundled with a future version of the software! Ownership is retained by the original author, so don't hold back. Here's your chance at fame and fortune. Or, at least fame and free software.
The Competition Ends 31 July 2002. Please send your enteries to voodoo@neowin.net or reply in the thread dedicated to this competition
Good Luck.
Video-savvy Xbox forecast
According to a report by British research firm Informa Media Group, the video game industry is on track for a record 2002, with global sales projected to increase 12% to $31 billion.
The spike is largely attributed to the success of the Sony PlayStation 2 (more than 30 million units have been sold worldwide) and the two new consoles: the Nintendo GameCube and the Microsoft Xbox. Recent price cuts on all three game machines also are expected to boost sales.
Console hardware and software are expected to make up for about 70% of the entire gaming market.
While consoles and related games are booming, Informa predicts computer games and handheld games, such as those for Game Boy Advance, to dip slightly by a combined 8.5% to $8.5 billion this year.
