Windows hacker Rafael Rivera has found that Windows 7 has additional login backgrounds. This is an additional customization feature to be added by Microsoft which would allow users to have custom login backgrounds. It would be nice for organizations to have their company logo on the login screen or just home users to have a better design on their login screen. However, this feature would only be enabled in the newer builds or the Release Candidate of Windows 7. But Rafeal has got a trick to let you change your login background in Windows 7 beta.

Boxee has just updated its application and added a few updates. Hulu had stopped allowing content to be viewed in third party apps and Hulu support broke in Boxee. However, this version of Boxee fixes that. This time Boxee is pulling content from Hulu through RSS. Besides fixing hulu, Boxee has introduced AppBox. Its their first take at an application store that makes it easy for users to install new apps and plugins. I guess this will be the next media store after the iTunes store! They have also included native support for 3rd party repositories, so you don’t have to rely on boxee as a gatekeeper for what goes into the official boxee app store.

Boxee also adds an Auto-updater so that you dont need to fetch updates from their website everytime.
