How Risky? :shifty:

Its strange how some persons are moaning over the Touch Smart. If you want it that bad, there are 49 other websites giving it away too, so its worth a try at one of those too.

Can ALL the submissions be made public once the competition is over? Might get some good laughs.

I enjoyed listening to the "Pet Dragon" ones awhile ago... :laugh:

I'm not sure about all the submissions, but it is a good idea. I know the winners will be posted for everyone to see.

On a side note, i can't believe people are against giving some prizes to charity. Makes me sick really...

Eric our wonderful coder is doing a public gallery. I can't promise when it will be ready but it should be soon :)

Once the competition is over all entries will go into the public gallery and then we will judge the entries.

Are animated GIFs allowed?

We are judging this based on one image so no, no videos or animated GIFs are allowed.

This should be interesting.. I'll try and figure something out to do and submit and I as well would like to see the entries after the contest is over.. would be a good thing!!

Yup that will definitely happen. Depending on how people flag their entries when they submit them we might get to see the majority of them publicly before the contest finishes next Saturday evening :)

Any idea I have come up with is probably too much work to do in the end, I am a guy that does all his work in the digital realm, this fancy real life stuff, ergh, tough.

Though I would be quite happy about winning a Neowin Mug, and also document its use. :D

And I think its a great idea that your giving the Touchsmart to the childrens hospice, and finding out how they have used it and what they think of it.

Its an interesting idea, and its also something unique that will stand out, and this is your give away too, so it is really up to you, it is a competition give away and people think they get say how you do things and they know what to do best.

It will be great to read about it. :D

I didn't enter the last one, but I'm giving it a shot this time around. Just submitted mine already, I'm keeping it private for now. My submission's more mysterious and creepy than 'magical.' :ninja:

I'll post more details about my picture when it's made public at the end of this week. :)

Oh no, well you are gonna laugh at mine for sure. :D

Yours is juicy. (pun intended)

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).

      I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
