desktop customizing

many know i love cutomizing my desktop on my computer. (what can i say im a computer nerd) well i stumbled across a program that allows one to change their logon screen. now changing the logon screen is not a new thing this tool has simplified the task so that any one can do it now. it makes it that easy.

the program is called stardock logonstudio and its a free program

here is what you can do with it this is my logon screen on my laptop now

next is another program that i purchased awhile back call windowblinds this program allows you to skin you windows theme giving you a different look. normally im all about free software but this program was well worth the $20 i spent on it =)

here is what my desktop looks like on my laptop. as you can tell my task bar is different you can design just about anything or download thousand of skins taht are available.

ppl always ask how i get my computers to look like i do well here ya go this is what i use.

Nintendo confirms MP3 player for DS

WOOT!

Price and release date still to be announced

Nintendo has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that an MP3 player for the platform holder’s handhelds, sold under the name of Play Yan in Japan, is coming to Europe.

“It’s just like the Play Yan, where you insert an SD card into a GBA cart-sized adaptor,” a Nintendo spokesperson explained.

“That is then inserted into either your DS, DS Lite, GBA SP or GB Micro – turn it on and away you go.”

Nintendo has yet to confirm whether the MP3 player will come complete with an SD card. A 1GB SD card, which can hold approximately 240 songs, currently retails for around 30 Euro.

The spokesperson dismissed suggestions that the player will only work with SD cards of up to 2GB storage capacity, stating: “You can put any other sized SD card into it, not just 2GB.”

According to the spokesperson, “Both price and release date for Europe are still to be confirmed.” However, gadget website Gizmodo is citing an October release date and a 29.99 Euro price point.
