There are a few games which I get real excited about – Battlefield is one of them. Battlefield 3 was unveiled today by Game Informer with just a few details about the game which is slated to ship later in the year. http://www.ea.com/battlefield3 It will be powered by the new Frostbite 2 engine, have 64 man multiplayer, fighter jets, and the ability to go prone is back.
I was reading a couple of articles this week on how telecommuting and working at home is become increasingly popular and more efficient in some cases. I am part of that group and I wanted to share 3 pieces of software that get daily use on my desktop, and can benefit many others as well. SnagIt – I have so many uses for SnagIt I couldn’t possibly list them all here, but it provides some features that really can benefit anyone who does work on their PC. Snag...
I have had a few people tell me they are having trouble with some parts of the site (commenting for instance) due to their use of ad-blockers or browser plugins. Ads are a part of our revenue stream that is very important to the operations of WinCustomize. If you aren't a subscriber, then that makes ads one of our sole sources of income and we are not going to change things so that ad-blockers will work without issue. If you don't like ads, my advice would be to subscribe. https:...

The end of the month is nearing, and this is the last This Week in Skinning for January. Lots of great skins featured this week! This Week in Skinning-January 28th
The last week of January is here and a great day to publish TWiS. The first month of 2011 has been extremely productive for WinCustomize, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the amount and quality of skins that started off the year. Just this month we have added two new galleries – one for Rainmeter and the long sought gallery for ObjectDock Backgrounds. We have also been working on site functionality and tweaks, so I don’t think WinCustomize could have g...

PC World’s Download This has a feature on ObjectDock Plus 2! “Color me impressed. ObjectDock Plus 2 combines the best of OS X's and Windows launch features into one interface. The free version, ObjectDock, allows only one dock and is missing several features such as tabbed docks, and the aforementioned docked folders, but is still well worth the download. However, it may prove so addictive that you'll want to buy ObjectDock Plus.” Read the full feature at PCWorld .
