Is this copyright Infringement By profilelayouts.com? If it is, it is sad to see such blatant copyright infringement. Then to see the infringer inviting others to also steal ones image, and then taking it even further by automating the process and making it seem cool is, well, I imagine the courts will be the judge if very many artists see their hard work on the site.
Here are my (possibly) stolen images of a cartoon I drew for a blog article using Inkscape:

The site seems to offer no easy way for artists to have their work removed and no way to contact the site owner. They even put a copyright symbol on the bottom of the page – so they are aware of copyright laws.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700 Mobile Workstation
We recently got a new w700 Thinkpad.
Wow, this is one radical notebook.
Some of the more exotic features:
WACOM Digitizer Pad on select models
Huey Pro integrated Color Calibration Sensor in palm rest on select models
Ubuntu works out of the box easy on this system which is awesome – this Notebook was super easy to get going.
We have not figured out how to get the tablet or color sensor going yet but have yet to try – do you know?
Here are a few brief hints:
To adjust the screen brightness:
Try Fn END to dim the screen down a notch.
Meaning the function key and then the End key.
Fn Home for brighter.
They have memory for this notebook on Amazon (which was surprising) and this beast takes up to 8GB:
4GB Memory Upgrade RAM For Lenovo ThinkPad W700 Series
Keyboard light switch (fn +pgup)

We also bought a new Lenovo d10 Thinkstation and that work out of the box easy also in Ubuntu!
VitalBodies recently created a virtual software box concept for the MakeHuman.org project.
Inkscape was used to draw the boxes and GIMP was used to edit the screen captures.
