Rovio, the company in charge of the development of the famous iPhone game “Angry Birds”, created a few wallpapers to use them in your iPhone or desktop.
With over 6.5M downloads, we cannot say this game did not make a mark; and now, all of the fans can enjoy some of nice quality images as wallpapers:
Did you ever picture yourself using a 3D desktop on Windows? Aximion is the application available for converting our Windows desktop in a very cool 3D environment.
Windows desktops are indeed one of the most common places where we feel very comfortable, the simplicity and the fact that it did not have significant changes through the years are one of the reasons. But also, among the years, other possibilities appeared with other operating systems, making some interesting tweaks in user’s desktops.
Aximion makes our desktop look really cool, but it could take us a while to get used to it. One of the disadvantages is that the “Start” button is not available, so we must find our applications browsing around.
Requirements to use it:
o Vertex Shaders 1.4 and Pixel Shaders 2.0
o At least 128 Mb of on-board video memory

We can’t get enough of wallpapers. Admit it, the look and feel of a great wallpaper is unmatched. You sit down in front of your laptop or desktop, get started, and see that amazing image that just gets you motivated to work on your system. The feeling lasts only as long as it takes to find an even better desktop image that you need to add, and add you do.
Wallbase is a great database of close to 400,000 wallpapers searchable by topic and keywords. The site offers a variety of sizes to fit your needs with the ability to search by Random or Global Toplist. I like the ability to see what others are putting on their backgrounds, giving me insight on the types of people out there. The random is a nice choice if you’re a gambler, I’m not, so I refrain.
Be careful what you search for because some NSFW images might pop up, but you have the option of turning that off so that images don’t come up in search. To prevent you from clicking on wallpaper that was not designed for your desktop you can simply role the cursor over the image to see what size the image was rendered for.

My second Twitter post today – I must have tweet fever or something! This one is however a little more on the serious side – Stocks.
Yes, I suppose we can partially blame them for the recession and be totally jealous of their riches but they need to talk too, right? StockTwits Desktop is a new piece of software that allows people all over the world to talk to one another about stocks. Within the tweets you’ll find the latest gossip, trends and advices about trading.
The programs basically consists of columns of tweets in different categories as well as StockTwit TV which gives you the latest news about the software. For example, they recently teamed up with the trading giant NASDAQ in the Big Apple.
It’s all free and extremely useful to anyone who currently trades or is interested in becoming a stock trader. I used the programs for five minutes and discovered that AIG stocks may be a safe bet for the future and that USD-JPY would not have been a good move.
You can get a feel for the software or download it at their homepage.
