Step 1
Use an image editor to convert the image to jpeg or png format.

Step 2
As well as the original full size image (now in jpeg/png format) also create a smaller version for posting on the forums. (about 300px wide should be ok)

Step 3
Upload your two image files to some webspace or .mac account.

Step 4
Use the image button and the link button when writing your message to add the smaller image direct in the post and create a link to the full size version.

enjoy

Sorry about that!! Murbot already took care of it... Didn't mean to cause the annoyance.

It's Whittier, Alaska, actually, and I took the photo myself. ABout 10 seconds later a piece of ice the size of a house fell off the front of that - most incredible thing I've seen.

PS: Those screen wipes suck.

A faster way is to open up the PDF in Preview, click on "Zoom Out" a few times, and take a screenshot(using Shift-Cmd-4) of the now-shruken screenshot. Using Preview, export both to JPEG/PNG format, and upload.

It's probably from this thread. Just scroll down to the download links. BTW, it's not just any robot, it's the awesome Automator icon.

I don't know, you know. She could get on my nice shiny (G4) case while I install my extra 'RAM' stick in her easy acceptance slot - but she must understand that if she opens her mouth to sing - she gets rebooted!!! Hard...

But hey I'm no fan.

[scratt]

That is sooooooo cool........ Got to try that myself.. New thread everyone? "My transparent desktop"

[cyrusmekon]

[cyrusmekon]

Some of my Favs. I might actually give this a go.

[InactionMan]

Is that a pile of sausage links on their desk?

And transparent desktops rule.

[Jasoco]

Looks more like a kitchen table. Note the cereal and coffee cup. Breakfast anyone?

[Gargoyle]

I saw this on /. last week. Some of em are really nice, even if they are photoshopped.

IMO

PowerBook + Wires = Real. Notice the black wire bottom left and the window top right.

G5 iMac = Real Big difference in the wood.

Breakfast table = Fake Is it even possible to take the photograph that is on the angled Powerbook?

[scratt]

They could be running on batteries...

Don't spoil it they are real...

We will all be able to order our own transparent screen Macs online soon.

It will be a $250 upgrade with instructions that everyone finds easy..

IT WILL IT WILL IT WILL!!

[stacy]

My new desktop... and no, you don't use Photoshop to do it.

[scratt]

iSight and send the picture to your desktop seems the easiest way to me...
