Digital newsstand

I turned a used newspaper vending box into a digital newsstand, with the addition of an LCD monitor and a Mac Mini. Get the scoop at http://www.designondeadline.com/

Where do go get the newspaper imagery? Scan it yourself each day?

Front pages from around the world are available daily at The Newseum Web site (newseum dot org)

Actually it is running under OSX. According to the guys website:

"With a little AppleScript work, I trained my Mac to get the papers.

...Each morning the computer launches a script triggered by an iCal alarm. While cueing up a music playlist, the script automatically gathers images, crops them in half with GraphicConverter and launches a slideshow with PhotoPresenter, a nifty little $8 shareware program with lots of snazzy transitions. The remote can pause or cycle through the pages."

Guess what asshat, they make linux for macs too. And macs don't have that feature when you're just switching programs. That animation is in the fast user switching. Do some homework before you make yourself sound like an idiot.
