Flickr Background

27 Feb 2006 - Under General, Interesting Links, Tech Talk By Mandrake

I just came across this application that will link up to Flickr and uses pictures there for your background. Its available here.

You can get it to monitor certain folders on your computer too. Furthermore, in Flickr, you can set the tags to look for. You can also set it to just look within your own photoset.

I was giving it a test run while doing something, and when I minimized everything, I saw a picture of an Indian man smiling. Those pictures you take during vacation. I quickly changed it before my colleagues start to ask questions why I have a picture of a man as my desktop picture.

Anyway, I quickly change to the next picture and put some tags to narrow down the pictures, just in case.

Give it a try, you be surprised what you ended up with..

Update
So far, I am not disappointed with the pics.

    Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.

    The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.

    The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

    In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.

    The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.

    It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.
