If you are a Linux user you might be knowing Wine. An App which runs Windows Apps on PC. Now isn't that a treat ? But now they are trying to do something beyond the impossible, they are trying to make an Android App which will run Windows Programs on Android. <blockquote class="tr_bq">Also Read <div __gwt_cell="cell-gwt-uid-543" style="outline-style: none;"><a href="http://www.sanvedtapkeer.com/2013/03/indian.hacking.movies.html" target="_blank">10 Indian Movies on Hacking and Technology </a></div></blockquote> <a name="more"></a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thenextweb.com/files/2013/02/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://thenextweb.com/files/2013/02/image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> Image Credits - <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/" target="_blank">Phoronix</a> This app will be a boon for Windows Devs who aren't much familiar with Android Development. Also learners who are learning windows programming, can simply make an VB Project and then use it on their android. I would personally design apps which I need in my daily life but not able to find them in the Play Store. I am desperately waiting for this project to complete soon. However its a concern that the app might not work on low-end devices considering the requirements of a Windows Program. <blockquote class="tr_bq">Also Read <div __gwt_cell="cell-gwt-uid-543" style="outline-style: none;"><a href="http://www.sanvedtapkeer.com/2012/11/tasker.html" target="_blank">Turn Your Android into a Robot</a></div></blockquote> </div>

Personalizing the computer to make it more user friendly and attractive to use has always been a trend among the computer users. The fact that the wallpaper can be changed without any restriction and conditions takes the computing on a next level. 
Unfortunately the anomaly that the wallpaper can't be kept live or somewhat in motion makes it considerably less. Well, we have a solution for you to keep yourself away from this boredom and enjoy the wholesomeness of the computer screen. 
There are many ways to do this. I'll explain the most used one and the one's which you will probably love to watch. 
 
Windows 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
1. Animated Wallpapers</blockquote>
This is the most anticipated option when it comes to such a selection. The Animated Wallpapers serve their purpose in a nice way, giving the user a charismatic view of their screen. These come for free and paid as well. Let me tell you the paid are worth the money. You can get these from a number of sites, but what I recommend you will be these ones.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
2. VLC DirectX Wallpaper Mode</blockquote>
VLC one of the most used Media player across the globe, comes with a fine treat named DirectX Wallpaper. This options enables the user to switch the video output from the VLC interface to the wallpaper. Making the video content running on the player as the wallpaper of the user. However this step is temporary and shuts down exactly after the Player is closed. It even wears off after a mere shutdown or a restart. 
 
Here is the Video Tutorial to Install such wallpaper.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
3. DreamScene</blockquote>
One more compact way to carry out such experiment would be using this wonderful software which will make any video into wallpaper. This is better than VLC method as it is permanent and isnt executed as a program. However it does have a con, i.e. it rises the CPU usage to a considerable height. Here is the official website to get it and get the detailed instructions on running the program.

1. Mac Desktop</blockquote>

The game touched success in no time. The company therefore felt the need to port this to new devices. 
The game was then ported to flash ( .swf ) so that it can be opened by devices supporting internet and Flash.
