Extending UsingMac Contest
Advertisements
I'm really excited to grab a copy of Snow Leopard and successfully upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X 10.6. And amazed by many new feature enhancements, I decided to extend the UsingMac Contest so that you can also submit a screenshot of your Mac desktop, extended until end of September 2009.
It's very simple to participate in the contest: you only need to submit screenshot(s) of your Mac desktop to show the beauty of Mac. Or, if you're proud of your Mac hardware setup, you can also submit the photo of your Mac.
The image uploader is provided at the bottom of this linked article. Some examples are provided after the jump.
Examples
Here are some examples of that we've made…
Mac Desktop Screenshot

Mac Hardware Setup Photo
Photo of our iMac with extended vertical screen, stack of books, and big space invader DIY wallpaper.
Your participation is really appreciated. Good luck!

Speaking of Snow Leopard, can you do an article which talks about all the new features of Snow Leopard and how they work. I want to now if it's worth it.

Is this your chair? Wow, go get a new one if you sit there longer than some minutes a day. :) I found Snow Leopard worthy to use. Its faster and rounder. But not that big new features. More under the hood and fine-sharpened.
