Pathetic Windoze-oriented spammers

[cocoamix]

Like I'm gonna be fooled by an ugly-as-shit GUI trying to trick me into clicking their link.

I normally NEVER get pop-up (thank you Mozilla!), but I was taking Opera for a spin and got this one.

[psyjax]

Why on earth do you have IE, Opera, Chimera, and Mozilla ALL open!!?

[pkd_lives]

Gotta say that is fuglie man...not it's FUGLIE. Like anyone is going to click that after the way it looks.

I got a Homer type shudder going on just looking at it.

You gotta turn off pop-ups in Opera.

erm...you are aware you still got IE on your screen there...not meaning to elicit nasty response, but do you actually need it, are you doing webdesign so it's there to prove your sites or something.. cos if not well..I shall be very very... upset....okay? *starts backing away like psycho just entered the room*

I also had iCab and OmniWeb open.  
Just an impromptu browser party.

My GF is the one who uses IE.

I tried to sell her on Mozilla, but she's used to IE from her work, even though her work PC running IE6 for Windoze and IE 5.2.1 for OS X are NOTHING alike.

Any time she visits a site and our machine identifies itself to the server as IE, it's just re-affirming M$ presence on the web.

I'll try another Mozilla sales pitch tonight.

i like parties.... sometimes i have office parties and open up staroffice, openoffice, and Koffice so they can mingle and have a good time. Broswer parties arent bad, I got netscape, mozilla1.1 mozilla1.0, netscape, opera, phoenix, konqueror, lynx, and whatever the gnome browser is (thats in linux).

My mac just has netscape 2.02

You have a console stream over the wallpaper?

Your Dock goes across the bottom... AND the side of the screen?!?

I must know how!!!!!

lame. You can even skin mozilla and opera so she won't even be able to tell the difference. Actually, she will, but for usability's sake it will be all the same thing. Why she wants an ugly ass skin on a browser is beyond me though...

no offence intended.

It's called Desktop Console.
It will display your console or any log (like your ftp log) on top of your desktop picture, and it runs in the background. You can even have multiple consoles and logs in different areas of your desktop. For instance, I can have my console starting at coordinates 0,0 at a size of 768x450, and my ftp log at coordinates 0, 450 at a size of 768X450, so both are displayed simultaneously and updated dynamically in my choice of fonts and colors.

MANY times I have pinpointed problems I would never have spotted, because whenever I opened an app with a problem, by desktop console immediately shows me what happened on my desktop.

If someone tries to hack me, I'm immediately aware because the FTP log immediately shows and attempted connection.

It's pretty nice.

The dock, well, when you have magnification cranked all the way up (like when I want to take a peek at a movie minimized in the dock, as shown), it pushes the other dock items over temporarily.

cocoamix, you mac people sure do have the stylishest software, i wish i could get that desktop console thing on linux (maybe i can? i have learnt not to speak too soon) and that dock thing is very cool, i reckon this screenshot deserves to be seen in the 'showing off my screenshots' thread, btw...

cocoamix: where did you get those Where the Wild Things Are icons? I want.

Here you go.

[hm_murdock]

I understand it pushes them around... but it looks like you've got some icons going up the right edge of the screen... is that a default Dock thing? like when it goes so far off the screen, they show up there... or is it some kind of hack...

very unorthodox desktop... but also very cool!

[cocoamix]

It's a hack. Those aren't icons on the right side of my screen. They're minimized browser windows. Instead of a minimized window getting sucked down into the dock, they minimize right where they are, and can be moved anywhere around the screen.
It was in early developer builds of Jag, but was removed for some reason or another.

You can find it here.
