Totally stoked for Surface Pro. Been waiting the better part of 2 years for something like this. Dat Type Cover and digitizer pen... (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I thought that Monday's presentation was Microsoft blowing smoke to create FUD in the tablet marketplace. Microsoft is so good at that that I was loving it for about 10 minutes. Then I remembered that I downloaded the Windows 8 preview already.... My ROFLMAO moment: Microsoft actually had the nerve to call it a VaporMG tablet, as in they created it by blowing magnesium smoke. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I wonder what the real thing will be like, but my expectations are JAWT.

QUOTE(Muramasa777 @ Jun 18 2012, 04:39)  Hi!
I'd like to know if there's any website similar to Zamzar, as it seems that they have been warned by Google and you can't download any more videos from there.
I just used it for the video to mp3 conversion.
Thanks.
[ www.ghacks.net] YouTube Mp3 alternativesCODE Since it is not really clear right now which services have received notifications, and which have not, it is probably better to refer you to desktop applications and browser extensions instead of online services.

QUOTE(radixius @ Jun 20 2012, 09:15)  I don't know why more tablets don't come with styluses.
Before the iPad was released, almost all tablets came with a stylus. That's because Windows XP Tablet PC edition evolved from Windows for Pen Computing. The problem was that Windows Tablets cost 50% MORE than Windows Notebooks. Apple figured out how to sell the iPad for 50% LESS than a MacBook. Now, vendors are trying to sell Android and Windows tablets for the same price as the iPad. The problem is that is still MORE than a Windows Notebook.

That's probably because most touchscreens used to be resistive, but Apple went with capacitive ones, which have their advantages, but makes the use of styluses tricky.

Reading about the common gripes for G+, and it seems everyone thinks it's the same as Facebook.
Which makes sense because it's just a green and red and white Facebook.

I know what you mean. I keep getting that message every time I log into Gmail. It's very annoying. "If you're account is compromised, the ones who compromised it can get ur phone # too!" Seriously, GTFO Google! This post has been edited by tentacle-man61: Jun 21 2012, 19:45

Just put my P.C. together and turned it on. No video input and it won't switch off via the power button. Ah well, it was a fun thought. Expensive, but fun.

I've got someone coming in today to fix the mess I made. Fingers crossed he can work with it well enough. I did a really sloppy job.
edit: No, he can not. :sigh:

I wonder why the fonts in Firefox become so blurry when hardware acceleration is enabled?

Adobe Flash Player Update Service has encountered a problem and needs to close. I've been getting this a few times, every day now. Any ideas what might be causing it?
