Haven't messed with this because the metro UI doesn't bother me and I wouldn't put this on my tablet, but here's a FREE start menu alternative. Even has an app store of desktop apps. Wife hates the new UI, probably put this on her desktop and laptop. http://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu

Yeah... same problem with my FHA refinance. Bought ours November 2009. mortgage insurance was going to triple, was going to save money anyways and go forward with it since we're at 5.65% right now... and then I missed the credit requirement by 4 points.

Wonder if they'd consider a price drop in February before the fiscal year ends, not sure they're quite that desperate in the short term though. Price drop + a new batch of games probably ideal.

Kinda nice, Chrome updated so now there's a relaunch menu item that will move you to/from the App / Desktop versions.

We were the winner of 29 potential buyers of our house. We put in offers on almost 2-dozen houses, some of them sight unseen other than MLS entries because I had an awesome realtor and we'd been looking for so long that we knew what we wanted. This was in 2009, Vegas also. We lost so many...

Could do a lot for atmosphere in games, if you thought something made you jump before, what if it made it look like the wall behind your TV shook. Or an eye opened up out of the wall. Or just the general effects building the excitement of a fast break or home run or long touchdown run. I'd...

Defiant season 3, Worf season 4.

I feel like Steambox will be a 1-time linux living room PC experiment that probably won't go too well, and otherwise just be an initiative that got Steam pre-installed on a bunch of devices/PCs thanks in large part to big picture mode. Windows 8 at almost 7% of Steam users already btw, in...

I'm impatient, EVGA GTX 670 FTW on the way.

I don't really see this being the next big thing at all for living rooms, but look forward to what becomes of it more out of curiosity than anything. I expect in the short term (next couple years) the end result will just be big picture mode on relatively overpriced living room PC hardware...

Yup, judge blew up the quick whole-THQ sale they were trying to push through and the assets will be auctioned piecemeal 1/22. https://twitter.com/DDInvesting/stat...76488573673472

We've used Drupal at work for some time (http://drupal.org/node/474838) and do a lot more than that link from 2009 describes (homepage and every landing page athttp://www.zappos.com,http://www.zappos.com/shoes). Everything between the header and footer on those pages are maintained and coming...

I like playing these kinds of games in between MMOs and other releases, just wish that more popular IPs were exploited and dropped into this similar mold. Done even half-assed I'd love to have a handful of WoW overlands and dungeons along with a couple of character classes to level. DLC me to...

Not defending it (don't really care anyways) but the always on internet connection is also due to some of the sim processing being done on EA's side. http://www.pcgamesn.com/simcity/simc...ays-maxis-boss

So Reid's got a 5 year deal with the Chiefs w/ full control of personnel, and Chip Kelly is reportedly about to become the Browns coach.

Bowe is a free agent, had to be franchised last year.

Still can't believe how big the hyper212 looked when I was installing it. As for dust, yeah, you can see it hanging off my rear fan there on my Antec 300.

I have 2 Antec 300s at home, very nice case. Only ever removed one side though.

I've got a 5870, so not a huge need. More of an itch, and would let me pass it down to a 2nd computer I'm taking to a LAN at the end of the month that currently has something along the lines of a GTX 260 in it. I only bought this AMD because it was just before Fermi and ATI was doing really...

@AdamSchefter From @mortreport and me: Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid. One source said "the major issues have been discussed and agreed upon." Kinda unexpected, I figured Reid was going to interview with a few people to get leverage on the Cardinals if that's where he wanted to go.

Boo. Currently unavailable We don't know when or if this item will be available again.

Well, nice to upgrade RAM anyways, but noticed when I took out the 6gb that they were also 1600, heh. Oh well, now I have 12. 18 if I ever get around to dropping the other 6 back in. Replaced:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231225...

So comicbt is back to the 'we hope to be back by 24/12/2012' message. Blah.

Quality is awesome but I keep buffering :-(

I think it will be interesting to see how a number of teams deal with cap problems now that they know for sure the cap is only going up ~400k.

1. Go watch Indie Game: The Movie 2. Buy Super Meat Boy Do those in any order, as long as you do both, IMO.

There are 4-5 more Chiefs players on the pro bowl roster than I expected.

Maybe I just like somewhat meaningful lasting change, but the more I read of the new Spider-Man stuff (just read Avenging 15.1) the more I like it. I just hope by the end of the year we end up with some Firestorm-like Spider-Man with 2 consciousnesses fighting for control, or some genius/Dr...

New mastcam images from Mars today look cool.

This won't be for everyone, but found both of these videos really interesting/entertaining. First is a review/overview of Twilight Imperium, as a game plays out the players go into a diary room like you see on so many reality shows, and you have the host explaining things after the fact...

Likely also contractually obligated to

SSD might be the biggest upgrade you ever buy for your computer. We have pretty different setups, but similar problems. My build is a page or two back.. i7-920, 6gb of RAM, already have an SSD and have an older video card and run 2 montiors at 1900x1080/1200. Picked up 12gb of RAM and an...

Several people at work have relied on whatever is in this book for their potty training and swear by it. Apparently one person it took 4 days, otherwise it was 3 or less. http://www.amazon.com/Potty-Train-Th...raining+3+days Son is almost 18 months, will be borrowing/buying my copy soon...

There's a lot of stuff new all the time. http://www.hackingnetflix.com/has weekly release highlights. I know what you mean... I have From Dusk till Dawn on VHS somewhere, and I worked at a theater in college when Snake Eyes came out, 34 next month. Watched Indie Game: The Movie today, was...

Picked up Legendary a few weeks ago and my friends and I are hooked on it, have played it probably close to 2 dozen times since. Getting a little burnt out, but it's been fun and we'll try some of the inevitable fan variants to hold us over until the expansion comes in August. It's a deck...

Same thing can be said of their inventory in the states, below is from Walmart yesterday. Clerk said they've only had to restock that endcap once in the last 2 weeks, and it was just to replace a couple units.

Thanks. Had to go with Free Realms cards, the SOE universal card slot was already empty.

So I take it there's something special about the cards themselves, you can't just order an online code from walmart.com? Edit: Ah, guessing it's not the universal card, but the Planetside 2-specific card i'd need to find and/or a card with a bonus sticker on it? Will have to check out wally...

You mean Superior Spider-Man #1?

I didn't even realize that leaked so early, I thought it was out this week and it's not out until next. A lot of great books out this week though.
