Roundup : 2007 week 43

Its that time of the week again where we look at the previous weeks articles and news items.
This weeks theme is wallpaper. For those who don't know, the wallpaper tool allows you to make wallpaper of any size. The tool automatically detects your screen size and resizes/crops your desired image accordingly.

But you can also use the tool to make wallpaper for your mobile, PDA or just about anything - you choose the size.
Below are a few images that you can find in the wallpaper pool.
