New Theme For Windows XP Surfaces

Posted by Bradley under Technology

Tired of that everyday, Fisher Price theme for Windows XP?

You can change it!

The ability to do this has been around for a while — most of the time involving hacking your XP install with some third-party files.

But from time-to-time Microsoft releases themes that are “official” and require no hacking.

Askvg.com recently stumbled onto the new “Embedded Theme” for Windows XP.

I had been using Royale and Royale Noir for quite some time but this one is much sexier.

Oh and there’s that tacky Orange Zune theme.  Umm.  (Not x64 compatible, screw it.)

Enjoy the new look.

Quantum Of Solace Theme Surfaces Sans Coke Commercial

Posted by Bradley under Movies, Music

The new Quantum of Solace theme leaked out this week as an instrumental version — in, of all things, a Coke Zero commercial.

Such a tease.

Now Jack White and Alicia Keys lay it on us full-on-vocal-style.

Umm, yeah, I’m not impressed.

Maybe Coke was on to something?

Jack White and Alicia Keys Record New Bond Theme

Posted by Bradley under Movies, Music

Jack White wrote and drummed the new Quantum of Solace theme song.  Alicia Keys did something.

This might be a disaster Another Way to Die.

Don’t worry!  We have the Pineapple Express theme.
