Transperant Backgrounds Very Cool!

Check out the picture above. Its not a Photoshop trick. Its real. The new craze of the day is to create "transparent" backgrounds for computers. Check out a few very cool pictures of these backgrounds @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/w00kie/sets/180637/show/

This is done by taking a picture of whatever is behind the monitor (much easier to do on laptops as the LCDs fold down) and then placing these as background images. Some editing was probably needed as well as a very good eye and something cool to display in the background. Since I use a dual monitor setup on a boring computer desk there is no reason for me to attempt this, but if I ever get a cool Mac then I will give this a go.
