5 places for fantastic desktop wallpapers
Jan 4th
1. Veer
Collection of beautiful and unique wallpapers. A place which you can’t skip looking with google images as an excuse. No you can never find these through google image search.
Veer needs a free 2 minute registration process before you can download the full resolution wallpapers.
2. Vlad Studio
My personal favorite website to find great wallpapers. The drawing style wallpapers, you rarely find anywhere else. Vlad studio isn’t the place if you are searching for photo realistic wallpapers. The wallpapers they feature are more of a modern art type. It is a one man support website. All those come from the graphic skills of a single person.
Then there is Interfacelift selected as the best by people. In a recent poll by lifehacker, interfacelift won. Interfacelift was voted the best by 36% of the lifehacker readers. Presently 2041 wallpapers, each handpicked.

Deviantart is a online art community. People share their piece of art or photography on the website. Search for wallpapers in the search box of Deviantart. The pictures that get a tag “wallpaper” among number of other tags, land on your search page. Deviantart scored 2nd highest number of votes on the Lifehacker poll.

7 Things I loved in Ubuntu
Feb 1st
Its barely been a week since I installed Ubuntu and I can’t see reasons to boot XP.
1. Almost virus free compared to windows: I don’t hesitate to connect pendrives and stuff to my computer anymore. Wat more? You can see viruses creeping in mass data storages only waiting to get blasted.
2. The height to customisation: I can sit for hours customising my desktop, I love to do it and when you are in Ubuntu you can’t see any limits to customising your desktop. Only if you are connected to web and have Ubuntu installed 
. Wat more? You can customise it to look exactly look like MacOSX leapord or Vista.
3. Open source applications: Superb open source applicaion which provide as better replacements to their ‘buy’ counterparts. eg: GIMP, Open office, compiz fusion, Beryl, Gparted. Wat more? You get awesome free games and with ATI supporting openGL in ubuntu it like…….ahhh.
4. Huge workspace: With number of desktops running you just can’t think of finishing up the workspace. Wat more? Compiz Fusion’s 3d windows, cube desktop make an awesome combination.
5. Damn good eye candy: Ubuntu is a host for deadly software which make ppl burn their eyes when they come to see your Rig. Compiz Fusion is one such great tool for adding prudiest eyecandy for least memory usage. Wat more? the minimise, maximise, close, open etc animations of applications are in your control now. You can explode, burn windows while closing or make a paper plane out of the window when minimising or when you get bored shake windows to experience the inertial physics.
6. Panels: Put panels everywhere and anywhere of any size to access things at the tip. Wat more? Panels can be made transparent, or you can make your own tileof the panel size and tiled horizontally to put as a background of the panel.
7. Strech icons: Right click and strech icons. Use text files like sticky notes or put small pics in desktops or anything you can imagine.
