Ugliest Mac Wallpapers Ever

Ugliest Mac Wallpapers EverApple has been a brand associated with class and design for a long time. For decades, luxurious Macs have been the weapon of choice for creatives, designers, musicians, visual artists – the hip, the fashionable, the famous. The slick designs of Mac computers are still winning award after award, and they are famous for their ingenious OS X, which is praised for its great user interface design and user friendliness.

In comes MacDesktops.com. Endless series of the ugliest wallpapers you have ever seen. Prepare to be confronted with the most disgusting “designs” ever, coming from a completely unexpected direction. Wallpapers so ugly, that it shakes the entire Mac brand. This is not just disturbing, it’s insulting. If you ever thought of Mac users as elitists, you were right, and this is why.

From a bright sight, revolting as it may be for some, this might just be one of the richest sources for post modern art and subjectivism you will ever encounter. Hooray for post modernism.

Todays episode: Flash Headlines.

Lately this concept has been emerging as a solution for presenting headlines as an attractive rich media experience. It is mostly used by sites whose main focus is news or entertainment, although other branches are catching on quickly. Large visuals, semi-transparent sections, animation, video and audio are combined into an appealing impression of what the site has to offer, with the nice side effect of creating the feel of being a good quality content website. — Read on

Installing PHP GD support on OS XAfter Alexanders feedback, I fixed a bug in the WP plugin “Permalinks Moved Permanently”.

Before, the plugin would not work if your old permalink structure did not contain anything between the domain and the post slug. So this would not work:
