The New desktop screenshot thread

We went to IHOP one night, and like.. my friend got some lemons lol ):

Well, currently I'm using my dual-screen configuration on my MacBook, so I have two to upload. As a note, I have a somewhat paltry collection of 70-odd walls circulating every five minutes, so these are just two random ones that came up on both displays. Photobucket also apparently scales the pictures, so they are smaller than they should be.
First one: (external 19" monitor at 1440x990)


Second one: (laptop display, 13", 1280x800)

There's nothing on the second one because I don't store anything on a monitor that I can easily disconnect (despite it working the other way around; when I'm in dual-screen mode, I use the external as my primary monitor and the built-in as the secondary, but when I disconnect the external, the laptop monitor goes back to being primary), and I didn't have any active windows at the time there.

And yes, I'm an avid fan of Invader Zim.

Well here is my windows xp home edition desktop


For the record she has aero

Desktop:


Laptop:

it looks awesome im gonna post mine i just put it on XD i change a lot of wallpapers

Gotta show off mah newest creation find. :P
And that's right. I use Windows Vista ;_;


I like joking around with the icon names :P
And well, Yoko's awsum.

Another desktop from my archive. I really like this one, if not for the dark humor behind it. Only the Science Team would feed one, because they have vapor for brains.

After having the same desktop for, like, near two years at least, I finally changed it!

...to the wallpaper I was using for ages before that. XD;

What is it? It looks like a Metroid. Your battery was about to die, lol. How do they last on the Macbooks?

Believe me it wasn't this clean. Yes it's dull, yes, I need to clear my dumpster.

In order:
1) It is a Metroid. If you've played any of the Metroid games and got as far as the first area where they appear, you'll get the joke.
If you don't get it...
2) Quite the contrary; my battery was 16 minutes away from being completely charged.
3) I can't say for a current-generation MacBook with one of those really big batteries, but my two-year old laptop lasts about 4 hours under normal use (not too good, not too bad). When virtualizing Windows, playing a 3D intensive game or using iTunes's visualizer feature, or using a CPU-intensive program, it drops to two to one-and-a-half hours. My battery has also endured a lot of power cycles, so the overall health isn't fantastic, but most of the time I hook it up to a 19" display and have it become a temporary desktop.

Metroids are parasitic creatures that latch onto your head and suck out all of your life force, leaving your body a desecrated gray husk that disintegrates upon touch. The Science team thing that I said was in reference to a Metroid Prime Space Pirate log entry, where the Pirate entering the data commented on how he thought the Science Team (the people who devise all of their weaponry and armor) had "vapor for brains" because they thought they could tame the Metroids, despite twelve warriors getting killed by them. Pleasant.

I've basically finished Metroid Fusion, but I'm still not in on the joke =/

Oh right, it's an older Macbook. I meant the Unibody era. Seriously looking at getting one at the end of the year.

My brand new unibody MacBook Pro gets ~10hours to a full change before it tells me to plug it in.

Here's mine! :]
