Woah cool! Someone is still using the Neowin widget I made :D

Yeah, it continues to work even after Neowin made some big changes to the board.

BTW... Do you still work on the widget? What is the latest version?

It's actually the icon. You just click "get info", click the icon in the top left, and then just copy and paste an image in.

What size image do you use the picture as an icon? I went and found posters of the movies I have and just converted them to icons using Pixadex but it's distorted and unclear. Any specific way I should be doing it or at least a better way?

^ I just got the pictures off imdb that little size and then saved it as a png in photoshop then put it in pixadex and selected it and draged the file onto that drop thing and it turned out good, try imdb cause they got a size that seemed to work pretty nice for me. Also make your icons size in your movies folder (or where ever) the largest size.

I've used mac a few times and it's promising. If I ever get rich or get a job cause I am 16 and CAN work, I might buy a Mac Mini. They are nice, interface is clean too.

By the time you have enough money to buy the Mac mini, you might as well save up a little more and get the iMac. It's really much better, having a full computer in one compact casing.

its a lot easier to just copy a picture (into clipboard) and then paste on as icon...

no need to convert or anything.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
