January 2010 Desktop Thread


Recommended Posts

Well, i haven't posted here for quite some time. But then again, i haven't really had a working 'puter in over a year.

But i just got one working again, threw on Win 7 (x64 Ultimate), and fell back into desktop modding.

This is what i have running :)

Wallpaper and Gadgets?

What Clock is That?

I believe you're in the wrong thread, if you want to see non-windows desktops.

Sorry but that is nonsense. This is a general desktop tread and for years apple and linux desktops have been posted here.

Theres nothing in the rules stating its only a Windows desktop thread. So post away dude!

I didn't say anything about other os's screenshot than Windows not allowed to be posted here. It's just this thread is mainly used for the most popular OS, and it's hard to find any non-Windows screenshot here (there's like maybe three of them here, if not even that). So I suggested him to visit the OSX/Linux desktop screenshots threads, if he wanted to see some non-Windows ones.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.
