New York Times recognizes skinners

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello everyone! For those who may be interested:

There was an article in yesterday's New York Times technology section introducing readers to what skinning and the skinning community are all about.

Although the article remains very general, it is still nice to see publicity for skinners in general. Too bad Stardock, an extremely important contributer to the community, is not mentioned (my only qualm with the article)...

It's really cool that Steve Moss got featured in the article. Waytogo Steve! It focuses mostly on Winamp. The only beef I've got with it is they used such terrible examples of skins. Only Steve's Steel this Amp is shown, not any of his other masterpieces like Major Tom or Nemesis or eIndia, instead they show some dreadful photo skins (even a Britny Spears!)

Overall though, it's another good example of the mainstream attention our obsession is getting.

lol. How can you do an article on skinning without mentioning Stardock? WinAmp is crucial and obvious but it's hard to imagine a decent article that doesn't at least mention WindowBlinds.
