Awesome iTunes 9 Mod (Mac and PC)

I was just browsing through one of my favorite sites, Deviant Art and I found this amazing mod for iTunes 9! It is available for Mac OSX, Tiger and up, as well for Windows, Windows Vista and 7.

Windows 7 Review

Apologies if I am repeating anything, I just wanted to get my own personal opinions across.

So I've had Windows 7 for near-enough a week now, and I thought it was about time I reviewed the Operating-System that Windows claims to be "Vista but Faster".

There are very few problems for me to discuss, but I am a person who enjoys getting the negatives across first. When Windows 7 first installed, the 'icon tray' was using a different setting than what Vista used, it was in a drop-down box. Personally, I thought this was horrible and changed it right away - but the good news is, that's the only bad thing i've encountered!!

It takes a while to get used to the OS, but overall I think it's a fantastic improvement on Windows Vista (That said, I never had any massive problems with Vista in the first place). I think that Aero is a beautiful design, and now that it has been implemented correctly, it does not cause any lag and this, for me, gets a massive thumbs up!

Another thing, probably the most noticeable change, is the task-bar. The new task-bar is very different to what Windows users are used to. It uses images but with no text, and in my opinion this works very well. You can also pin programs/folders to the task-bar in order to access them quickly in the future - which is very useful. I can see similarities to a Mac Dock in the new task-bar, but that said it is still very, very different. If you right-click on the programs that are running, you will get a mini-menu (depending on the program) which gives you some options you can use quickly without even displaying the window. Take iTunes for example, if I right-click on it I am displayed with a 'Recently Played' section, with about 6 songs that I can quickly play right from that very menu. Pretty cool if you ask me! Programs running multiple times, or that have multiple windows are also grouped now - and if you hover over it you will be shown the windows that are running - which is useful. One simply, yet cool thing that I have discovered very recently is that, say you are installing a program and you minimize it to the task-bar. The task-bar icon has the progress bar on it - which is like a green bar going across it as a transparent overlay, and this is another very very useful feature.

Basic Windows programs have been upgraded also. I have recently used Microsoft Paint and I must say its revamp is superb! Basic features have been added which make it so much more user-friendly, and I enjoyed using it. Created a not-so-bad image too, but don't expect it to compare with the likes of Photoshop!

So overall I love Windows 7 and I'm very glad I upgraded - Congrats on a brilliant OS Microsoft!

Mac vs PC: The Fanboys

Almost everything has "fanboys" or worshipping fans and in this case, Macs and PCs. We all know about the huge Mac vs PC battle and the Windows vs Snow (Leopard). Each side has fanboys, some of the most obnoxious, hard headed, illiterate fanboys are available in the category. We all have our opinions on this subject and you can leave some comments down below, but what I want is video responses to the embedded video. I am fine with comments, but video responses are much better. I absolutely positively hate fanboys! I am a Apple fan and a Microsoft fan. I have Windows 7 and I have Snow Leopard, although I do use Snow Leopard as the main OS. Both companies are the best of the best. So, please leave your opinions (biased or non-biased)

World's First Dual Screen Notebook

Most laptops and netbooks these days have only one screen. But gScreen begs to differ, with the world's first dual screened PC notebook. The computer will be able to run Windows 7, Vista or XP. It will come in the sizes of 13.3, 15, and 17 inch according to the website. It will be a normal notebook, but with two screens. gScreen's notebook weighs only 8.7 pounds and is similar to the Apple MacBook in size. Here below is a video on my thoughts and opinions on the computer:
