Reply to Palm vs. PocketPC in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yea, but they're still relatively low resolution and can't do very much application wise. The resolution is really the thing that bugs me the most.

I don't agree taht Paxx is complaining though others are. I don't think people are targeting you Paxx specifically but rather "the dissenters" in general. I read Emily's post (now that's my kind of post! LONNG ) and generally agree with her. You guys know that all these problems really come down to one thing: Avoiding seeing everything in black and white. If a thing isn't 100% the way a person desires it to be, that doesn't mean it's the exact opposite. WinCu

Palm vs. PocketPC in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've been a long time Palm III owner and am starting to think about getting a new PDA. But I'm not sure which to get. I'm starting to get somewhat frustrated with the lack of innovation and advancement with the PalmOS (low resolution displays, relatively limited abilities). Is there going to be any major updates to PalmOS in the near future that would make it worth waiting for or should I look at getting the next generation iPaq when it comes out. What do you guys think?

There aren't any good ones floating around yet. Just need to get the BandVWM one to be wrapped into a DesktopX object.

Well last night we realized that we can still max the message board bandwidth by sending out Stardock Magazine!

I like the titles. They add spice. Now, some people take things too seriously, not much you can do about them.

Some great ideas and I pretty much feel the same as Paxx and Jafo on this. The casual user who has downloaded a given program, visits a skin site and checks out a couple dozen different skins wouldn't be even aware of such a limit. But the guy whose downloading hundreds of skins over months needs to contribute in some way. I think those who don't like the idea really don't understand how expensive these sites become. I would have thought that the loss of skinz.org and deskmod.

Weekly Highlight: Bob XP in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

Remember Microsoft Bob? Alex G, one of Stardock's graphics designers, took a break from working on Galactic Civilizations to create this modern rendition of Microsoft Bob using DesktopX.

Every major Stardock product has been a beta to the public. WindowBlinds was a public beta for a *year* before release. DesktopX was a public beta for a year before release. PocketBlinds is a public beta. WebBlinds is a public beta. There is no "adverversing" in it. WindowBlinds XP beta 5 is an XP optimized version of WindowBlinds 2.2.

I prefer XP, it feels more polished and remote desktop is very nice.

Ads don't pay squat. That's the problem. At $.20 per CPM, that's not going to remotely pay the bills and it just makes the site slower.

Reply to Immortality bad for the brain in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Since 1900, the life expectancy of an adult male has increased from 48 to 81. That's nearly a doubling. I wonder what people of 1900 would have thought about living an extra 30 years.

#wincustomize on EFNet is the current one. There is talk about having a irc.stardock.com which would be hooked into the Caverns network at some point.

What a difference some bandwidth makes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Normally, the top skin authors have 3,000 downloads or so. Yesterday, the top 3 skin authors had 17,000 downloads of their skins in a single day. Today's stats won't be quite that impressive since we were down 6 hours due to the power outage in Livonia (the UPS's worked long enough for us to do an orderly shut down at least) but I bet the numbers are pretty high. Mormegil's 7,120 skin downloads in a day is staggering though. Treetog getting almost 7,000 is also incredi

Yea, you can get Convergence by purchasing Object Desktop. Convergence is one of the features of OD. www.stardock.com

It is supposed to store your NeXTStart and Workshell skin but it currently doesn't apply them.

Re your idea, that would be put in a skin browser or something.

Any OS Warriors out there? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

So in years past were any of you OS bigots? I was a major OS/2 fanatic from 1991-1996. I lived and breathed OS/2 during those days. Hard to believe one could get so much into a piece of software.

So how the heck did you get into computers in the first place? When did the illness begin? For me, I started off playing video games on my dad's Apple II (which now lives in our basement). And got my own C-64 for Christmas. It was all down hill from there...
