One story of one of my old buddies. Mario!

Guess most of you folks out there know the guy? Once I used to be a big fan, in the days when I was a kid. Now I have made these wallpapers as a tribute to the old days… to Mario times. I have created them from scratch, using Adobe Photoshop CS4. I don’t claim to be a master of digital imaging, but I do think I’ve done a pretty nice job . You can find the tutorial I’ve followed to create these images here, I wouldn’t have managed without it.

Both of these two wallpapers are 1080p, high-resolution widescreen images, 1920x1080. I will post a download link under each of them for the full-screen version. The downloaded version will be clear of my logo.

Here is the first of them, the dark-blue version. The picture is clickable, it will take you to my Flickr page, where I initially published this image.

Download the 1920x1080 version here.

Download the 1280x1024 version here.

And here is the second one, the orange version. Same here, picture is published on my Flickr page. When you click it it will take you there, without leaving this website.

And as I said, here is the download link.

Download the 1280x1024 version here.

So it works. NIS 2010 bought from eBay is actually genuine

This is just a follow up of my last post, in which I was considering getting a license for Norton Internet Security 2010 from eBay instead of purchasing it from Symantec. At that time (2 days ago I guess) I wrote on Tom’s Hardware forum, asking whether or not a license purchased from eBay is legit or not. People advised me to not purchase it from eBay as it could be automatically generated with a keygen, or stolen, or whatever, and it will get blacklisted by Symantec as soon as I’d try to update.

Well, the reason I am writing now is that I actually won the auction on eBay for it and bought it for $16,99, while on Symantec.com is $79,99… and I could not withdraw my bid, as if I was to follow the advices from the thread on Tom’s Hardware. The seller emailed me the license minutes after the auction was closed and I used it to activate NIS 2010 at once. It worked. To my surprise, it worked. It is a license for 3 users, for 2 years. Gave one to my brother, gave one to my girlfriend, and will keep one to use on my own computer. See pictures below, which will show the subscription period and also the screenshot from my Norton account, which did not blacklist this license.

So apparently, everything went fine, but I still do not understand one thing: why it is on eBay that cheap while on Symantec is 4x more expensive.
