Yet another thread beating the dead horse of manual vs all other gearboxes. Are some of you really that insecure that the need is felt to thump your chest to defend something that doesn't need it? I get that some take pride in certain aspects of their rides, but hardly see a reason to make it an X vs Y ordeal. Some…

Agreed completely

This is all those Beats models do is use an EQ type of setting to "sound better". I just use the built in EQ on the software, or on the system wide settings to make it sound the way I like and with a real set of cans, it blows beats away.

I used to use the keyboard shortcuts quite a bit at first. Every once in a while I may slip one in, but a regular mouse does the trick for me.

Not that I am aware of unfortunately. Just adding that if you are signed in, there is an option. Though for Chrome I use the Youtube Options extension

this should do the trick. alot of legroom

Agreed.

instead of wasting money on that junker, he should've kept saving and bought a real one

In your youtube account, you can change settings to do that automatically as well. I've mine set this way and it works fairly well.

but if you're going to dim the lights to watch the video better, then odds are you're not doing other tasks besides watching that video.

I agree. Though I've bought some cars before for people on Christmas. Normally this is what they are from here

The start screen is not overlayed on the 'traditional' desktop unless you use one of the 'hot corners' to bring up the charms bar. Merely stating that I use both UIs separately on different machines

OK, so are you agreeing with me that there's no reason to hate Windows 8, or did you mistakenly think I was hating on it? For the record, I was just stating that whenever an article comes up about Windows 8, the haters of it will climb out of the woodwork to bash it as well as bash anyone that likes Windows 8 by…

I disagree partially. I'd gladly take a Crock Pot from a friend, if they made me a nice meal in it. Namely the gift is the food, not so much the crock pot, as they use it to transport the stew or pot roast, etc.

On my rig I have it set to boot to desktop and show apps when I press Start. On the HTPC, however, I keep the Metro UI since it fits much better for that purpose.

I've seen Windows 8 boot at SSD speeds on a 5,400 rpm HDD. Though I find that if a computer boots in less than 30 seconds, that it's irrelevent on how 'fast' it is past that. If one is that impatient for it to boot, then perhaps putting it to sleep may serve you better depending on the environment you use the machine…

Waiting for the hordes of the Windows 8 bashing trolls to swarm in and muck up the post. Seems inevitable nomatter where you go online. If windows 8 is mentioned, all the naysayers have to hurry up and begin with the negativity and ruin things.

Vote: Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPM case.

If people can call Battlefield/CallofDuty games great, then Half-Life 2 still deserves to be there too.

I see. Though the Roku 3 is the highest tier model they make so while it may be older from the release date, it's the most feature packed one. Models 1 and 2 are more basic models. Now, if the Roku 1 and 2 were out but the Roku XD was still around then i could see how buying the previous gen at the higher price would…
