Well.. I admit that I felt a little proud after seeing the good old KDE3 on the trailer of the upcoming “The Social Network“.

For those who didn’t see it, here it is:



This is a KDE desktop with:

the Keramic widget and window decoration style (so it’s at least a KDE 3.1, released on Jan 2003)

widget and window decoration style (so it’s at least a KDE 3.1, released on Jan 2003) a konqueror window (god, I loved that browser) showing the /home/mark directory (obviously Mark Zuckerberg)

window (god, I loved that browser) showing the /home/mark directory (obviously Mark Zuckerberg) a terminal, probably xterm , showing some wget-ting going on to fetch the pictures displayed in the other konqueror window

, showing some wget-ting going on to fetch the pictures displayed in the other konqueror window a mozilla window displaying the www.eliot.harvard.edu/facebook/index.shtml URL, probably something like the directory of the house

Apart from that it all looks very standard to me.. do you see any other customization/hint on the picture?

Come on, unleash your CSI skills!! 😉

I remember it was KDE 3.2 that made me fall in love with this awesome desktop environment (it was really the top of the class at that point, with konqueror, the kio slaves, and a browser that was about to change the history) and my first opensource code commit was about 6 years and 8 months ago.. and I enjoyed every second of that. (and now it pays the bills too! lol)

Well… looks like I’ll be at the movies on Oct 1st!
