In a somewhat surprising move, HP yesterday killed off the HP TouchPad and is shutting down the WebOS operations at HP. As part of the transformation, HP announced that its board of directors has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives for the company's Personal Systems Group.

People often ask me how to get more views and downloads for their skins. We get a real decent amount of traffic on WinCustomize, but sometimes standing out from the rest of the pack is difficult. We try to feature and promote people as much as we can, but there just so much that can be done by just one or two people here.

Steven Sinofsky has written a post about Windows 8 which we will hopefully see more about at the BUILD conference in September. Building the next release of Microsoft Windows is an industry-wide effort that Microsoft approaches with a strong sense of responsibility and humility.

After reading the other post about theAVMAN losing all his data, I wanted to recommend to everyone how important backing up is. I personally use True Image Home from Acronis and it’s always been reliable. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ They have a summer sale going on where you can get it for 40% off, just $29.99. If you have a previous version you can also upgrade for a discount as well.
It’s Monday, what else is there to say? Check out these new skins!
