    Most of this art, while not necessarily awful on the right terms, makes for HORRIBLE app skins. I'll stick with the classic skin. :P

    Is this that thing that everyone was bitching about a few months back because google wanted them for free? I wonder which designers submitted.

    A more important question is, can I skin it with artwork of my own design/choosing? That first one looks like something out of some horrid mid 90's gross-out cartoon that even Nickelodeon was too afraid to touch.

    I love getting pr0n yesterday as much as the next guy but I'll keep Firefox's functionality.

    I dont really care about porn, but, I have had to switch to entirely Firefox at home just to browse Giz. I am forced to use IE at work, and there is a script error on every page load.

    @loose_screw: Thanks :) I am home on Firefox and its flying. At work on IE it was taking so long to load pages, I would take bathroom breaks while waiting. I note that it picked up a little in the afternoon, so they must be working on it.

    Just a tip, if your employer is logging the time you waste on the clock, they are using something more sophisticated that a basic keylogger.


    A "key scrambler" may work but almost certainly they would be monitoring application activity, which would give away both the virtual keyboard AND the scrambler.


    And really, "Draconian internet/computer policies", don't be so dramatic. You're on their time and likely their equipment. If your companies acceptable use policy is to overbearing, don't sign off on it and find a new job. Or, even better: argue your point. I'm sure your boss would love to discuss why you should be able to post on Gizmodo while you should, ya know, be working.

    This is going to be a hit with all my married G/Fs who complain their husbands put keyloggers on their computers for passwords to their accounts.

    @Curves: that's an awful lot of work just to get a password. When I need access to the wife's accounts, I just ask. She does the same for mine.


    (I guess my point is that not all of us male nerds are suspicious, boundary-disrespecting sneaks.)

    @libelle47: I am pretty sure that at least some of the "suspicious, boundary-disrespecting sneaks" (of both sexes) have cause to be that way.


    It actually wasnt a bash on men, just that my GFs all ask me for tech support and I can tell they are going to like this one. (A wise woman doesnt bash men on a site that has about a 98% male readership.)
