Mind of UPSLynx for the week of October 18th

Bobby Miller 23 Oct, 2009 at 12:02pm ET Article published in Tech

Fooman and Hitman, my sister and brother respectively, were in town this week. Only a fool would believe that they would leave me alone. When I wasn’t dealing with their tomfoolery, I was thinking about Windows 7! The brand-spankin’-new OS was released on Thursday, and no one is more ready for it than Icrontic.

In an ultimate display of progression, Icrontic laid Windows Vista to rest (RIP). We also give some suggestions on what you can do with Vista’s newer, hotter sister. Of course, what is talk of Windows 7 without a little DirectX 11 action? The stunning trailer to Shattered Horizons has been revealed, and it is beautiful.

Finally, the community is exploding in activity. The third annual Icrontic Sekrit Santas is underway, and we are but a single week away from Oktoberfest 2009. It’s going to get epic up in here real quick. Enough talk, time to watch. Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air.

Also, I laughed my ass off at the taskbar shuffle.

Sekrit Santas is up to $30, too, btw. Awesome as always, Lynx.
23 Oct 2009 ~ 1:33pm wahay Good to know the apples all fell to the exact same point.

Also, Shattered Horizons looks like it should support controls for spacenavigators. It's not only a pun, it's appropriate!
