I have tried to exclusively use windows 8 because I like being the first person and like exploring the new frontier. I am also one to overlook flaws in light of innovation. IMHO, it doesn't feel intuitive. Since upgrading to the Release Preview, the Mail app no longer works, the people and messenger app doesn't…

I feel they are doing the opposite with the desktop UI then what they are doing with the Metro side. So taking off the "glossy paint" layer and squaring the edges makes it Metro? A true Metro desktop doesn't have the ribbon stocked full of icons. It is about being simple, clean, and concise. This is what a Metro…

Actually, even with the wind, the bottles seemed to stay stationary. Having a little bit of that colored water in them and being tightly compacted the bottles don't have a chance to move around.

I might have to give this a try. I saw this when I was looking into it how to fix the graphics card. Any tips?

The house where the Ferrari crashes through the window is in my town. =P

Are they interactive?

It's been weeks... and I don't want to re-install it if I don't have too

My Chome will not update. I go to the about and it checks for updates for a while and then gives me "Update server not available (error: 3)" I've been searching for a solution but to no avail. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

a lot. I've helped a plethora of people get invites from posting on lifehacker. It's basically open all you need is someone to invite you which is now pretty easy to obtain.
