Unfortunately you can't do that. The desktop only LOOKS like a desktop. Start menu is gone, replaced by metro.

Yes, but metro apps force the metro UI open and the start menu is gone. Instead when you click start it opens the live tiles. Theres a few other tie ins there that are great for a touch based pc. But when you're using mouse/keyboard it becomes a chore. Which is my whole point, using a pc shouldn't be a chore. It's…

Don't get me wrong. For tablets Window 8 is going to freaking rock. But they should have kept the UI Separate. Similar to how Android has the Honeycomb UI and Phone UI based on density.

Used it, Hated it. You never really notice how important a simple start menu is until you have to load up the live tiles UI and find what you're looking for. I'm sorry, I like doing my work and going home. Anything else that adds more work or distracts me from my work is just annoying.

No its not. Because you have to go into the Tablet UI to do shit. The start menu is gone, the wall of tiles replaced it. Thats not ok.

... TAKE MY MONEH!

Except apple has said public-ally to developer they weren't perusing a walled os?

TUAW has a MUCH MUCH better article on Gatekeeper and Mac's Future. Apple even told the Panic Developers that the "walled garden" wasn't coming. I'm sorry but the evidence just doesn't support OS X having a walled garden. Windows sure, but not OS X.

I don't understand what the big hoopla is. Gizmodo just seems so bias against apple anymore.

No, you can install unsigned stuff.

They haven't. You can still install whatever apps you want. Gizmodo is just bias.

The vest is designed to move the energy all over his body. Theres probably little internal bleeding.. however I would not be surprised if he broke a rib.

It does not.

I'm not saying it wont effect the US. It will. But you have to understand how they think. They wont risk damaging ANY SINGLE PART of their holy land. If they nuked us you're looking at a small amount compared to israel which is more compact in a lot of places.

I can see that being a legitimate concern. But as I said, they wont nuke Israel and i'm pretty sure as long as we quit fucking with their politics they'll probably hate us less. Thus no terrorist attacks.

Sure you can. Nuclear Fall Out. It will destroy 8 city blocks but render more then that are uninhabitable. The exact details of that depend on the wind, weather, height of bomb detonation etc etc.

If Iran attacked us, I'm almost certain their country would be glass before there was a single U.S. Fatality. I'm from Montana and out there you can't drive on a dirt road without running into a minuteman rocket.

Iran isn't going to nuke israel. They want the land, Israel is a holy place. What Iran's President actually said is he wanted the Israeli Government off the planet. Not Israel. They want to regain control of Israel; if they go nuking Israel then the land will be useless and they will have killed some of their most…

I knew there was a reason why I hearted you a while back.

I don't know... Ask the people who want more gun control. Slingshot with some rocks maybe? I personally love me some guns.
