I am sorry, but your desktop picture is really offensive. It has the same meaning as the Nazi's symbol.

:unsure:

What?

I thought it was pretty damn cool lookin but... what do you mean? Some sort of link you can provide? I highly doubt he was trying to be "offensive" based on the other desktop on his PowerBook, which seems to be the same style of image.

I'm sorry but there is nothing wrong with that image. Do we really live in a world where we have to respect EVERYONE and ANYONE with their wishes. Sort of like the onslaught of messages Neowin received when they said Merry Christmas. Wake up people... lets not turn Neowin in a Politcally Correct site, where we need to call our garbage men sanitation engineers. Get a life.

it's called the japanese war flag...by your logic, the union jack stands for the murder of german civilians of all the cities carpet bombed on those starless nights where countless innocent germans lost their lives. And then there is the american flag...holy ****...that's INSANELY offending, I don't recall the Japanese putting american citizens in internment camps...however during ww2, I do know the US military put japanese (most asian races) into these camps where many died, and were essentially slaves to physical labour. but seriously, open your eyes and your mind. don't be so naive and hypocritical.

Im not sure what the offensive image is... is it the red and pinky striped thing coming from the top right corner on that screen?

I severly doubt he knows even that its a flag. I didnt take geography and dont know my history that well either - but I do know that wallpaper is on one of the sites that people always post when someone asks where they can get some nice widescreen format wallpaper. To me its just a wallpaper picture and never knew it had so many negative connotations, probably same with this guy youve just attacked too!

Ben.

I don't really care that you think it's offensive. It's piece of desktop art that the original artist likened to the japanese culture. It has nothing to do with the Rising Sun, nazism, genocide, the WWII axis powers or anything else. If you perceive it as something else then thats your problem.

Why can't some of you people heed your own advice and respect hanxu for his stance. You preach and preach about tolerance, but you flame him for despising a flag that was flown over many atrocities.

hanxu: Neowin is neutral on such topics, unless it's quite rediculous. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about all of our members.

The matter is closed. Move on.

Ok here is the flag

as long as don't think or relate to the rising sun (or japanese soldier's flag during the second world war), I think it's ok...

BTW, this is not about religion/country... it's about millions of people's suffering and life.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
