For those of you who want to let your inner geek show, have we got the desktop background for you!
While we’ve been exploring potential ways to upgrade the hard drive in the new iMacs, our own OWC Jamie took these photos of the new machines with their screens removed to expose the electronic goodness found inside. They make quite unique desktop pictures.
Or, you could use this as a static screensaver to discourage others from using your precious computer making them think your machine is down for maintenance.
The desktops are custom sized to the resolutions of the respective monitors:
21.5″ iMac : 1920 x 1080
27″ iMac : 2560 x 1440
To download, right-click on the links above and Choose “Save Linked File”
To install your desktop background, go to System Preferences (on the Apple menu) and choose Desktop & Screen Saver (in Personal): Desktop (control-clicking the desktop and choosing Change Desktop Background… from the pop-up menu will also get you there), then click Folder… (in the left panel) and select the folder in which you saved the picture. If the folder is not in the list, click the “+” in the lower left and navigate to the correct folder to add it. Click the picture in the right panel to display it as your desktop background.
How to add a Globally Recognized Avatar to your email address.
It’s quite simple actually. Thanks to Gravatar: A Globally Recognized Avatar
Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, including the OWC Blog.
Your chosen picture to upload is associated with your email address (or addresses) that you chose to sign up with each site with. Gravatar even allows several pictures to be uploaded at once, so you can either change your avatar at a moments notice (like in iChat) or assign a separate image to each of your email addresses. This service is free and to use it, just follow the link above (or click on their logo in this post) for the complete details and even a short video on how to get your Gravatar today.
OWC has no affiliation with en.Gravatar.com and receives no benefit related to this support (other than a benefit we all can share in the utilization of their service).
