Not because I'm a fanboy, nor because I hate Microsoft (I'm actually really happy with where Windows 10 is headed and compliment them on their phone OS even tho I don't prefer it), I really hope this is coming to iOS simply because I have an iPhone and would like to be able to use it. It's kind of rare I say that

Just to note, for anyone interested, I did a fresh install of Windows 10 when the preview became available and it HAS THIS FEATURE! I was shocked. I use a Mac at work so I have always found myself doing this at home, and I've even installed a program (it may have been KatMouse or WizMouse mentioned in another

They introduced a tablet-based OS to a desktop environment, one that is intended and designed to be used with a mouse. It honestly made no sense. It succeeded greatly in the tablet/phone arenas, and I had and enjoyed a Windows touch-based phone, myself until I broke the damn thing.

Because desktop users don't need nor want a Touch OS. That is where Windows 8 failed miserably, by pretending to be a desktop OS at all. This is essentially Microsoft doing everything that people have said since the day Windows 8 came out. If they actually offer it as a free upgrade to Win8 I might actually put

I, too, came here to comment on the reference. :)

Aye, some do. Mine has the very sharp "teeth" on the tips of the serrations. One with a more rounded serration would be preferable. One of these days I need to get one. :)

I do this to pierce the skin, pull back out, and then just cut normally where the stab mark is. Not only does it make slicing easier, but it also allows me to really plan out my slice before I make it. This is important to me because if I'm slicing tomatoes it's probably for sandwiches of some kind, and I hate

Ah, I tend to forget about all the current complications since we signed up a while back, before the changeover to the new system began. I'll say they have been a GREAT bank until that point. What bothered me the most was them acting like it was routine maintenance (a 3-hour window) and not forewarning customers

To fix this issue I got my fiancée to set up a Simple account and link her bank account to it. Simple now allows transfers from one user to another instantly, so if she needs some money or if I do, we can fire it back and forth as needed. This is a pretty good solution while waiting for joint accounts. Once those

When I was young (and stupid[er]) I discovered one day that my lamp on my dresser had the plug come loose from the prongs and the prongs were stuck in the outlet. I didn't bother to tell anyone, just left it there, behind my dresser. One day I had some balls of foil up on my dresser (I just did, I know why, but long

Not knowing all of the details, what I'm reading suggests that you tried to get yourself invited on a hiking trip by a casual acquaintance, and got annoyed when she didn't? Perhaps Mary liked you but not enough to want to go hiking with you. It's a little brutal, but what you described was a huge faux pas on your

I do agree that it cuts down on the searing a bit, which does sadly remove some of that delicious seared flavor. Of course, I also make burgers wider when I make them larger, I don't make them thicker. This helps them cook a lot more evenly in my experience and typically if I keep a close eye on them they're still

This is a very interesting statement. I've pan-fried and grilled burgers larger than 7 ounces and had them come out perfectly well-cooked and juicy, no pink in the middle and no burning on the outside. It has more to do with finding the right temperature and just knowing what you're doing.

Firstly, I'm not certain if you're joking... but I'll just comment that I have a few different messenger bags, and the Bag of Holding is the smallest-looking of all of them. Most messenger bags are pretty large on average. The Bag of Holding has its almost magical quality, however, of looking smaller than it

As you go down the sentimental levels, though, it asks if it was part of your wedding (an automatic hang it up) or if you've worn it in the past year (the letterman jacket wouldn't have been since it doesn't fit) and then it goes right into the fix and keep or damaged and donated pile. It is a kind of awkward way to

This is a very interesting take on surveys. I honestly never would have thought of them this way, and I feel that you are correct based on the facts you present. The people who are seeing this as a negative approach are thinking of it as a "threat" to a bad survey. The reality is that if I'm not satisfied with my

The post is titled the best "Application Launcher". I figured that meant a good way to launch applications. Not a good way to search with specific parameters, use a calculator, etc. It allows me to launch applications and documents quickly and easily. This was only posted going on 3 years ago and my opinion has

I'll have to look into just how automated it is, then. I'm always willing to learn new things, it seemed like it was pretty manual, but other comments suggest otherwise. I think the article doesn't touch enough on just how automated the searching can be.

Now THAT I am interested in. I stand corrected! I like any solution that automates such things for me.

I think the reason this doesn't work very well is the need to manually head to the site, search every game you might be interested in buying, and sign up for all of the various places you'd be willing to buy said game from. Is there a way to say "all games from X genre" or something to that effect? I don't really
