"I'm constantly changing the way my Desktop looks. This screenshot was captured when I was playing with Talisman, an windows shell replacement. The only thing I forgot to do back then was minimize google-talk :(" SH, USA

"A picture of my dad and I taken when I was 4. He's taught me everything I'll ever need to know in life, including engine repair. I've always looked up to him, except between the ages of 12 - 21 when I was a dickhead and an idiot. This is the desktop for my home computer, and it gives me more motivation to study." JW, NYC, USA

"i have a weird obsessive/compulsive desire to name all of my coveted electronic appliances (only the ones i use frequently, i'm definitely not naming wall sockets and dvd players). so this is my laptop, ophelia. i've gone through 3 laptops in 3 years and they've all had slow and painful deaths - tragic coke spill by my little sister for sparky, viral infection and subsequent comatose state for rosie the riveter - so i felt like this laptop needed to be treated more delicately and thus needed an appropriately more delicate, ultra-feminine name to remind me to take better care of it. HENCE! ophelia. this desktop picture is my absolute favorite vargas pin-up, and it definitely exemplifies ophelia's delicate, sexy charm. :)" ST, NYC, USA

"I have on my desktop an image of one of the greatest movies ever made, "My Neighbor, Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki (along with my love of virtual post-notes on the right hand side because I tend to be very forgetful -__-)...It's my home computer." DY, NYC, USA

"Here's my desktop." RP, NYC, USA

"This is enso, the Buddhist symbol for Zen. It reminds me to keep things simple." AK, New York City, USA

"Personal MacBook. My hand, as seen through the iSight camera's "Glow" effect." AJR, Washington DC, USA

This pretty much sums of my dog's approach to life. I consider him "The Dude" of canines. DC, Tel Aviv

"This is from my personal laptop. It's a picture I took of the Moon Valley in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The image doesn't really inspire me at all, but I keep it solely because I love the smug satisfaction I get when I tell people that I took it myself and that it's not a stock photo, of course!"
