The Best Way To Customize Your Desktop: 3 Top Apps Compared
Posted 02/26/2010 at 12:14:39pm
Before I got Win 7, I was still running XP with Litestep. It can be a pain in a a$$ to get configured, but once it's setup the way that you want it, it works like a charm. There are so many different modules to choose from, so you can make it the exact way that you want it.
I run dual 22" monitors, both at home and at work, and trying to find a UI that span across both of them is hard. Litestep is the best solution that I've found. Plus you can download a module so you can have multiple virtual desktop to host different applications in different areas is nice. I've tried the Microsoft one, but it opens up a new Explorer.exe process for each new virtual desktop, so that starts to become a memory hog really quick.
If you're into coding at all, and don't mind sitting down for a day or two to tweak everything the exact way that you want it, go with Litestep. If you're looking for something that you install and be done with it, then maybe Litestep will work. You just have to look at the custom themes that other users have created already.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed, Upgraded
Posted 12/01/2009 at 12:10:38pm
I'm glad that there is finally going to be another Battlefield coming out soon. I'm glad to see that EA and DICE is slapping Infinity Wasn't across the face with their Dedi servers and increased multiplayer. This will surely be the next 800 hour game for me.

IW isn't going to look at which platform brought in the most money, they are just looking for the $$$ that they will be getting in total. If you buy MW2 for any platform you're helping them say f*k PC gamers.

I can tell you that the majority of the EviL clan has already canceled their pre-order, and the remainder of those who were planning to buy it just decided not to.
How are 30 people supposed to play each other when you cap it at 18?!? WTF IW! Looks like you just killed the best thing that you've ever worked on.

And to think that IW would be dumb enough to have 164,661 people possibly cancel their order. Looks like IW doesn't want the close to $10 million that they will lose from doing this, not to mention all of the hosting companies out there who will lose money as well.
Go IW for continuing the recession!
