Great... Now I cannot unsee it.

I know others have answered this... but what you are explaining is not background refresh. You are talking about automatic install to install new versions of apps. Background refresh is all about updating the app content.

See this is exactly the thing, and it's very situational. If previously a street had a problem with people running the red light at high speed then a camera will help save lives. A couple places here in Sacramento are notorious for having a lot of speed demons. On the other hand where I live where it's fairly quiet…

I'm so confused. Aren't you just talking about the start screen? Like when you just press the windows button you're taken to the start screen where you can group apps just like folders in Windows 7. You can even name the groups just like you can name folders in Windows 7. Pin, unpin, and categorize it however you…

DGino is correct. MakeMKV just removes encryption of the video and puts it into an mkv container. Whether you use a dvd or blu-ray it's going to output it's original video and audio in whatever format it was on the disc.

I just verified... I had 25gb and got the 3 extra gb for a grand total of 28 gb. Woo.

I'd go even a little further and say that DOA is exactly what it was supposed to be. For a game that is ostensibly about fighting, it's actually about boobs. And that's exactly what we get with the movie. That's what I was promised in the trailers and that's what I got in the movie.

I've gotten the ones from Costco and I can say they are pretty darn awesome. They have the lights that do an even "360" degree light so they are good for table lamps or torches which a lot of the cheaper led lights don't. They put out good light and their price an unbeatable.

This. RDP is a way better performer especially in cases where there is little happening on screen. Although 10 years ago when I was still in college, my friend (using RDP) was streaming The Daily Show on campus from home perfectly lag free with sound.

This... A million times this.

In my own usage, I've found both to be equally as fast. I use both everyday just depending on what I'm doing. For example few sites like iCloud.com are a bit faster on chrome, but I like using firefox for most things since I can use privacy and shopping addons like Disconnect, HttpsEverywhere, InvisibleHand, and…

I'll give up my Logitech Performance MX when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

I also live near Sacramento. It is right now (according to weather.com) 103. And I have absolutely no problem with your solution. It's hot, sometimes even with the air conditioner on if the sun is beaming directly on the skin. I can't imagine how anyone could leave a child or pet in this kind of weather.

Agreed. I actually own a first gen Nook. That one I'm not so worried about them updating, it get's the job done and I'll use it till the battery has it's inevitable demise. But I have an HD+ and I love it to death, but I would really like updates to the firmware. Generally I don't have a problem with the system, but…

I also subscribe to MCU and own an HD+. The latest update did smooth over some of the rough spots like it's speed and at least now I can pinch to zoom a page. It still doesn't automatically do a full page zoom on start (to fill the screen) which means every single time I open a comic I have to rezoom when I flip a…

I know it's slightly off topic, but I too get those exact symptoms. I haven't yet tried any "cures" for it, just wanted to say thank you cause I think I'll try popping those pills before my next trip. The stabbing pain makes me want to cry some times.

And of course more than just being clever, they were using it the way star wars the movie used it. "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."
