The perils of sharing desktop screenshots

Posted in Stupid by Derek at 1:19 pm

Neglecting to preview your own desktop screenshot?Sharing your computer desktop previews with the world to see? Make sure that there is no evidence of your personal life that you would otherwise care to keep private being displayed. Unfortunately for JPsShytBox, a forum desktop screenshot preview displays – in plain site – his apparent lust for interesting video clips. Click image for full preview in the serboard.com forums. If the preview is a little fuzzy, let me point out the embarrassing little snippet of info – “Shemale vids”.

Makes you a little more hesitant before posting your own desktops to the net doesn’t it? Who keeps there “private” data in plain sight on their desktop anyway?

    omg!!! LOL. The thread is almost 100 pages long.

    1 more reason to keep your desktop tidy.

    hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

    I dont keep anything on my my comp at all. Its all on a password protected External Disc. That way your pc stays nice and fast and also you can hide all your private files…

    Ouch. lol.

  5. Haha, very nice. I always double check my screenshots before posting them. Not because of “Shemale Vidz” on my desktop, of course. Things like internal network information, IM contacts, admin panel stuffs. That sort of thing should cause one to always double check what they’re posting.

    Also, what the fuck is he doing posting a stock Windows XP desktop? Does he think that his tiled icon view is novel or something? Oh, sorry… he downloaded a custom wallpaper. That’s definitely worth posting a screenshot of.

    aparently this is fake, i read somewhere else that the pic owners says its just a joke, but maybe he is lying… who know, who cares… still is funny

    Joke? Someone is covering his ass! J/k. The desktop being fake crossed my mind, but then again, who would willingly post a desktop screen with nothing much going on?

  12. Beerslayer says:

    wow, you’re not very up to date around here are ya.

    Not up to date? This is only a couple days old when posted here. As for it being a supposed “joke”… HA! Just the poor lamer trying to dig himself out of the hole he dug. Too late!
