I say its fake becuase you can see all those little dots as if it where photo shoped

If it is it's very good, at least I think the reflection looks how it should if it were real... maybe I'm just not that good at imagining mirror reflections though.

Almost all of those video wall's run on windows XP... heck there is 8 of them in our town and when the presentation software crashes its kinda funny seeing a windows desktop behind it... one time we had "Recycle Bin" icon and text on every screen in town for hours before anyone noticed... and I bet you ANYTHING that screen is running windows too in the pic... I dont know of any presentation software for large (and i mean large) panel screens that are modular (you can make some neat shapes with modular video wall panels) but i havent seen an OSX app to run them yet

I took a picture of this scrolling board when I was in a local shopping mall a long time ago:

Is the Apple store not the building on the right? So the one on the left is something unrelated is it not?
:wacko:

I don't get it either

thats what i was thinking!

Yup, the Apple Store is the grey-coloured building on the right. The building on the left with the XP logo is unrelated. I'm not sure yet what building it is though.

Oh yeah, forgot the :o

:p

Don't look at me, I found it on the web, I put it here. I doubt whether it is legitimate.

There is also a possibility that the the building with the screen might be part of the building with the apple logo, unless someone from Beijing can confirm....

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      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?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      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

      By +Edouard · Posted

      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.
