I don't even own a laptop, using my trusty AMD Sempron 1.6 GHz to participate. Winning one of the notebooks would be a definite step up in life. But however this contest turns out, I had fun participating and seeing the different creative entries. Good luck to all and remember, its all in good fun. At least I can turn mine into a wallpaper. :D

I didn't get a chance to enter anything.

Ah well.

Some look really good, will be interesting to see who wins.

Though maybe next time something like this is held, maybe the person entering could write something about it,, even if it was only revealed afterwards, would be interesting to see how some people did here's, and why, lol.

Ok now that it's over I would like to say that weather screwed me. Last week we had -8?C and I was working on ice sculpture of Neowin.net logo. It was 60% done the only thing that was missing were finnish touches that would make ice transperant. I had everything prepered candels,different set of background things like wood,carton,bushes etc. Logo was 1,3(width)x1.20(height). Everything was in front of my garage and then one morning I woke up and saw that sculpture is gone!!! That night was +6?C and at 10pm was already 12?C!!!

What can I say, I hope this kind of competition will be more often.

And good luck to every participians.

Why, you only signed up here to enter the competition, there were 120odd entries the odds of you being in the shortlist let alone the top 8 are next to none.

*sigh*

The competition is open to anyone, except Neowin related staff or ex-staff, as stated in the first post. If you registered 2 days ago and submitted yesterday your entry would still be legit. The judges don't look at the date you registered nor do they look at the amount of posts you've made. No, they judge the picture on its contents and creativity.

Sorry, it's time to get out of your shell. An earlier registration date or a bigger amount of posts does not make anyone more than someone else.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
