You just take a shot of what’s behind your screen and make it your desktop background. And yes, I’ve tried it, and yes, it’s more difficult than it looks to get it just right, especially if you don’t have a laptop. It’s all about the fold-down screen. Post your own pictures under comments and I’ll include them… More pictures Inside!

no wonder that there were so many mac people, they can’t do anything else cool on their mac shit :p
Sounds like aleksander is a depressed PC user.
It’s okay, buddy; you’re not alone.
Mac sux, I’m sorry, but it still sucks, why would someone use a mac, probably because it’s cheaper than getting the perfect PC, all customized. Btw GAYOFF :)) I don’t think he’s depressed, but really, what else is mac good for? I mean, lol apple released an big ipod touch, a new technology, but it’s an ipod touch, just bigger, IPAD. Cool, and yes, macs couldn’t survive if they wouldn’t have the PCI chip from PC’s, that’s why you, a gayoff, can run Wold of Warcraft and other shitty games on it, otherwise it would be a fail, mac only has the user-friendly interface.
Apparently the PC crowd is unaware of the usage of mac in the film industry. (oh, by the way, mac is NOT cheaper than a cheap PC or even one loaded.) Best part, THERE IS NO BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! It is more stable than any version of windows out there including 7. (I currently use both a PC and a mac. love the mac)
The only reason to use windows is for games.
i can never figure out the hand into screen one…
Most all are photoshopped. LCD screens don’t emit light without neon tubing or LEDs behind them. Therefore, if you removed the back and the tubing, if you had a working screen at all, you wouldn’t have white light coming from them.
Some of these are simply a trick of a photo being taken, cropped and used as a background to a laptop that is placed in proper perspective.
The Calculator one is photoshopped, as is the sunflower Mac, though it is a real picture of a Mac’s desktop background, but the desktop background is photoshopped.
I know to do it; Good creation.
The PC crowd is well aware of the use of macs in the movie industry: everyone pirates movies on macs because you can’t get a virus :D. If you want to pay too much for too little, buy a mac :) at least you can save money on free movies!
i can do that stupid trick with my pc all u need to do is take a pic of the spot behind the computer put the computer back upload pic to computer adjust the screen to were it needs to be after u put the image as your backround
This is like a new artform :D
Ryan needs to learn his manners. I GIMP’ed my photos.

But the thing is that the end result is *never* edited for these photos. EVER. It’s the unwritten rule.
The calculator one? That’s simple. You take a picture of your hand where the screen would be, set it as your desktop, put a calculator over it, and then hold *just a sleeve* up towards the screen so it looks like the hand is coming out of it.
TeK: steve jobs, the creator of apple and the mac, invented the mouse.. so, basically your computer exists because of apple (also microsoft stole everything from the mac)
Apple invented mouse is a wrong statement. The mouse is actually invented by Xerox. Both microsoft and Apple competed in stealing the technology from xerox and apple suceeded in it. Frankly speaking there is no difference between apple and microsoft they both stole many technologies from other companies. :)
stealing technologies from others really exist.
that’s the way of the world.
mac and pc/windows have their own respective niche. they have their own advantages and disadvantages in some unique ways.
mac is generally good for industrial use, specially in the movie and music production industries, etc…
pc/windows is generally good for home and office use…
i use both…
does the wall paper really works on mac?
