I've actually found it pretty easy to customize. Granted, I am using Start8, but I really found it a reasonable solution to Metro on a traditional laptop.

Man, that looks awesome, but I wish they had put the d-pad on the LEFT SIDE! haha. Very cool, though.

Your family has some awesome names! Too often, I think, people focus on how people will first react to a different name, and wonder if the kid with that name will be teased to no end. While it likely has happened before, it's been my experience that most people simply learn the name, get used to it, and life goes on.…

I agree, Siri doesn't sound so bad. But what is really the problem with iPhone? Aside from being odd, and likely to lead to a good deal of teasing, the name itself, it can be argued, stands for some pretty admirable things. Well designed and manufactured, with detail and care given to every final detail (at least, in…

I've always thought it was funny that people get all worked up over what people name their kids. The news of that baby who was named hashtag was funny and all, and made a lot of people point and laugh, but I think that we've pushed too hard in our society to keep names limited to certain norms, and stepping outside…

I'll often split my dollar between all the options. You know, share the wealth.

The article is inserting the common opinion of a large group of gamers who are convinced that the Wii U is an inferior console, at least for Black Ops II. All the negative points are meant to address these opinions by first allowing the reader to read and identify with them, and then continue on to read the counter…

Wow, that really is awesome!

While I think that the placebo effect definitely plays into effect, I wonder how much the act of just sitting still and more or less meditating helped clear the mind and boosted cognitive performance.

I can totally see people using the Metro interface and loving it on a tablet.

YES! This would be AWESOME.

The worst bit of this, to me, is how much the translation process has improved over the years when it comes to video games from Japan to other countries. It's clear that a lot of Western games are not very popular in Japan, and the process of truly localizing has been left with low budgets and inexperienced…

This, to me, is the perfect unit to buy and integrate into a car media system. It would be particularly awesome if it can be hacked as easily as the standard wii and setup to run DVDs and Emulators. Hack one of these into a VAN with the right setup, put a wiimote next to each of the back seats, and you've got a…

This problem is actually pretty insignificant to PC players. The ability to turn using a mouse together with far more keys to use as toggles for everything from character position (ie prone, crouched, standing) to set speeds (walking, running) makes this a non-issue for most people. Granted, the hack does add even…

Bioshock didn't start on the XBox. It got its start as an exclusive release with Microsoft's platforms as it released for PC and the 360 on the same day.

I keep a kit like this in the back of my car together with a bike pump. I've fixed a flat using this exact method before and driven on it for hundreds of miles without issue. Definitely one of the easiest solutions to a potentially day-ruining issue.

Don't worry, the day will come that that deal will look really expensive for a Vita... At least, that's what I hope.

20 months of running games at full specs with < $500 of hardware in a relatively inexpensive system for me. I also have bluray, pvr, all streaming services, keyboard and mouse option + xbox 360 controller option for most of my games, full HDTV integration and the option to sit down at a desk, remote controlled media…

Hostess really was pretty AMAZING at taking dirt cheap, almost inedible ingredients and making them into something truly special. And I say that sincerely. I love twinkies, and I didn't mind ding dongs at all, but those same ingredients in almost any other form and/or combination probably would have left me grossed…

I agree with this comment.
