Why I don't like Windows 8.

To put it simply it's because Windows 8 is for content consumption, not content creation.  And it really seems to show in how Microsoft markets Windows 8.Though I don't suggest that content creation…Continue

To put it simply it's because Windows 8 is for content consumption, not content creation.  And it really seems to show in how Microsoft markets Windows 8.Though I don't suggest that content creation has completely dissappeared, but it seems to be a bit more of a neglected need as a operating system.  Sure, you can do a bit of playing around in Fresh Paint, but when you needs to do more serious things like some programming your just dropped into desktop mode in a way which the Metro UI is saying…See More

The fear of hard disk failure

Imagine this, next morning at around 10:00AM you press the on button only to be greeted with clicking from your hard drive.  Your heart stops for a second from this shock, but you calm yourself because nothing blatently has gone wrong.  Yet.  Then you get a BSOD (Assuming this computer has Windows).  What would you do, would you just shrug and breath a sigh of relief that you backed up your information?  Me, if it literally was next morning, I would be suicidal.For some reason this week I've…See More

"That's a bad deal. Really, really bad.    800MB of bandwidth is TINY. And so is 750MB of space.  $3.95/a month would be sufficient for no less than 100GB of bandwidth and 10GB of space. "
