Unreleased Windows Vista Wallpapers Available for Download

The name Hamad Darwish may not be a household name, but if you are using Windows Vista chances are you're already familiar with his work. Microsoft commissioned this well known Flickr photographer to shoot high resolution imagery for inclusion in Vista as desktop wallpapers. So the background you're probably using now as your desktop is the work of Hamad.

It's like crack, for your computer screen. Enjoy!

  • Is MacBook Falling Behind the Crowd?
    Believe it or not, I don't own a laptop. I generally have little need for a portable, as most of my work in done primarily in front of a workstation (actually two in fact). But on the odd occasion a laptop would be a welcome accessory. So I began researching various PC laptop models on the market today, notably Apple, and came away surprised...
  • Photos From the Indy Apple Store, at Keystone
    Over the Labor Day weekend I and a fellow Mac fanboy decided to pay a visit to our nearest Mecca to all things Apple...the Apple Store located at Keystone, in Indianapolis....

  • Innovators, and The Evolution of Mobility
