Due to the problems with trademark it was renamed PowerPoint in 1987. The clipboard that can hold multiple objects at once was introduced by PowerPoint 2000. ,Slides or individual pages are called the PowerPoint presentations. Slides may contain objects, movies, text and graphics. The use of consistent style in presentation is facilitated by a template also called ,,Slide Master. The presentation can be navigated through, printed or displayed live on a computer.

A computer desktop background is an image used as a background on a PC display / PC screen. Background is a fine decoration for a PC.

Desktop "Background", is the term used in Windows 7, while in Microsoft Windows is called "Wallpaper" and Mac OS X calls it a "desktop picture" (previously, the term desktop pattern was used to refer to a small pattern that was repeated to fill the screen)

Nowadays, it is possible to download many free desktop background and use it on any personal computer with any operation system (MS Windows, Linux or Apple MacOS).

Whether it's a texture pattern or an abstract  art, getting the correct theme makes more interesting the entire work. There are various cool powerpoint backgrounds on different themes such as: planes, animals, buildings, cars, computers, celebrities , games, holidays, nature, sports, world and many others.

The cool powerpoint backgrounds have played a great role, maybe some might not have noticed this. For instance, some product graphic advertisements uses light subtle background to help create focus point also websites and desktops need nice backdrops too.



Images used as computer backgrounds are usually raster graphics with the same size as the display resolution (1024×768 pixels, or 1280×1024 pixels) in order to fill the whole background.

The classic screen resolutions are proportional in a 4:3 ratio, so an image scaled to fit in a different-sized screen will still be the correct shape, although that scaling may impact quality.

The backgrounds resolutions are connected to common desktop resolutions: 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 800x600.

Users with widescreen (16:9 or 16:10) monitors have different aspect ratio requirements for backgrounds, although images designed for standard (4:3) monitors can often be cropped or scaled to the correct shape without undue loss of quality.

If any background doesn't fit your screen, you can use OS display properties to adjust it. The last possibility is to edit the background in a bitmap editor (MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP etc.).

Desktop backgrounds are not a desktop pattern or at least it should not be. Desktop patterns create backgrounds using repeating patters. Desktop backgrounds are unique, there are no repeating patterns.

The principal problem when enlarging an background image to match the desktop resolution is the quality loss that appears during the resize process and the distorted image that appear when aspect ratio of the background is different than the aspect ratio of the desktop. If the image is used in smaller proportion, by default, will begin to repeat if it is too small.

When tiled most images look horrible and this should be avoided. By using any photo editing, an image can be resistant. You can notice the loss in quality when you stretch a picture and you may decide not to use that picture at all. However, there are applications that can automatically establish if an image is better to be displayed tiled, resized or using its original resolution.



The most common type image are in PNG and JPEG format. All major operation systems should be able to specifying just one colour to use in place of a wallpaper as the background , and some (such as GNOME orKDE) allow to be specified the colour-gradients. Early versions of Mac OS and Microsoft Windows allowed for small repeating patterns to tile the desktop.

If we make an incursion into computer backgrounds, we can say that this begins in Renaissance and to be more specific the first computer desktop background was appears in the mid 70's in an experimental office system, Officetalk, developed in 1975 at Xerox PARC on the Alto.

Previously to that, the white backgrounds to overlapping windows could be difficult to distinguish from window interiors. Officetalk used a pattern that produced a 25% gray, using dots two pixels high to avoid flicker on the Alto's interlaced screen. Xerox Star adopted the same pattern.

Apple used for their Lisa and Macintosh a similar gray background. On the other hand, it was possible to use a less noticeable background pattern since these machines had non-interlaced screens, gave a 50 percent gray from a simple 2x2 repeating pattern . Once the color monitors for personal computers were introduced, this led arbitrary backgrounds non-patterned, single-color backgrounds .. There was a way to obtain a desktop picture on versions of the Mac OS before Mac OS 7. Today, the possibility to change your desktop background is a must in any operation system.

In personal use backgrounds usually fall into one of the following categories: automobiles, models and celebrities, scenery, abstract art, movies, pets, family, symmetry, and personal photos.Comics and drawings backgrounds are considered cool backgrounds among teenagers.



In business use, it is common to use corporate logos or plain backgrounds on business computers, as such guidelines are often specified by the company.

In display systems such as GNOME and Windows, backgrounds may be packaged along with desktop themes.

Some operating systems allow a number of different backgrounds to be used and changed from a set of selected images (either in order or shuffled) to display a different background at different times, these are called dynamic backgrounds.



In video Media, some media players can redirect video playback to the desktop, allowing any video to be used as a background.

Also, some programs such as Xplanet and EarthDesk use Internet connections and graphics calculations to change the background with real data, such as a shadowed view of the earth, the latest cloud or weather map, or various events.



Since desktop backgrounds are constantly changed, it doesn't only help inspire ourselves but also spice up the desktop, giving it a fresher look. That is why your background display should not station on desktop for more than one month. Since the beginning of the computers, to customize your desktop is the frequent area of activities. The choice of a desktop usually reflects appearance and mood. Lots of wallpaper sites are now available and they will suit even the most exigent client.

People use cool powerpoint backgrounds to make their boring screen look more interesting.

If you have Java you can challenge your contact to play games .



Unfortunately Yahoo! Messenger delivers viruses, spyware, trojans and worms to other users.

We all know that iPhones are something most of us want to have. This is because they are cool, good looking, and somewhat expensive and there are so many things you could do with it. Not only can you make calls and send text messages, you can also listen to music and surf the internet. I know, you're going to tell me that there are a lot of cell phones out there that can do that. Well, let me tell you about the coolest iPhone applications and let's see if there is another phone that can do all this.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
If the first thing you do every time after you come home from work or school is to log onto your Facebook page, I just have this to say: you don't have to wait until you arrive home anymore! Now there is the Facebook for the iPhone application, a friendly yet basic version of the big social network. You even have an option to take a photo with your iPhone and quickly upload it to your album. The friends section will display a list of all your contacts.

It will also let you view wall and profile information. You can write on their walls and even send them instant messages. You can check your inbox for any new messages and compose a message as well. There are still improvements to be done as you can't search for anyone outside your friend list and you can't use or even view other applications you had on your Facebook page.



One of the coolest iPhone applications is Simplify Media and we'll tell you exactly why. It's an application that makes life much easier for those who have over 30 GB of music on their computer since the capacity of the iPhone is 8 or 16 GB. It's going to be difficult to make a selection of the tracks you want to copy without wasting too much time. Simplify Media help you get the job done but you have to download it from www.simplifymedia.com to your computer if you want streaming from your PC. You also have to sign up to create your own account because the first time you launch this application on your iPhone, you will be required to type in a username and password. After that, the application will scan your library and put all the info into an interface which is very similar to that of the iPod. If you have more friends with an iPhone, get them to make their own Simplify Media account as well and you can now share music, stream tracks from one playlist to the other. We think this application is definitely something worth having on your iPhone.



CameraBag is a must if you really are into taking photos of everything around you. This application will even make your photos look all vintage. When you load this app, you will see the layout is pretty basic and simple to use. On the bottom of the screen you will notice 3 options: snap a picture, save an image or load a picture from your existent photo library. At the top of the screen you will see a word written (probably ANSEL) which is actually the mane of the filter which was used the last time. If you tap that name, you will be shown a list of ten filter which specific names (even if some of them will only be understood by real photography lovers). I think the only way to really understand how this application works is to use until you have tried out all photo possibilities and combinations (that is going to take a while). You never know what cool photos with neat special effects you might get. Just for fun, try to take someone's photo using the FISHEYE filter. The image will be distorted as if you are looking though a fisheye lens. You can use the 1974 effect to take pictures which have a yellow tinge as if they were really taken back in that year. Even if it sometimes freezes when you try to save a picture, this application is tons of fun to use. When you are travelling, it will give you the chance to take some of the coolest photos ever. You know, for you private collection.



Now, if I had an iPhone, the first program I would get for myself is the Dragon Dictator. It's like having a personal assistant that fits in your pocket. It's very simple, launch the application, press the record button, start speaking and the press the done button. The speech-to-text converter will render the output in no time and if you want accurate precision, just use words like "question mark" or "period".  You can then send an e-mail or a text message with the words you just spoke. This is very useful if you need to send a text message or an urgent e-mail while you are driving and cannot type and keep on your eyes on the road at the same time. It's also a cool application for people who are darn right lazy and want to send a message but they don't feel like texting. Either way, this app rocks!


We know that all work and no play can make people very angry these days do the last application for today on our list is the Sims 3 iPhone application. This game is an addiction for a lot of people worldwide and we can only imagine what will happen now that they can play it anywhere they are. We were surprised to see that this game has a very rich content. The game starts pretty much the same as the PC version. You get to create your character from scratch, choose the hairstyle, the clothes and even the zodiac sign. Your character will also have goal to achieve, he can get jobs and work to improve his skills. You explore the town you live in and interact with people just like you do on the regular PC game. This is an application that will make Sims lovers all around the world happier than ever.
