I was gunna say, except for Batman. He's allowed to blackout everything

Haha, you too huh. Now I just listen to the music my engine makes.

True, but if you have a Windows phone you created a Microsoft account. You can log into Skype with your Microsoft account. Skype was acquired not too long ago so there's a possibility for future integration with the OS.

What serious? I have a bunch of friends with Windows Phones. They range from Associate deans, to company owners, software developers, law professors and more. IDC has published the numbers showing Windows Phone overtook Blackberry.

You mentioned Facetime for iPhone, but forgot that Windows phone has Skype and you can use that to text, talk, video with a lot of people too.

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage, my wife and I went through that last year. Kudos to your coworker. More people need to be caring and less inhuman. More so at work, we see each other probably more often than we see most anyone else.

That's just it, if you could see that at 80MPH you're getting 16MPG, it might lead to more people driving a little slower. Either way I wish they gave us the option or at least a way to enable it. Then only the people who cared enough to see it would turned it on.

I'm sure this is an all Apple crowd, but Nokia Music is pretty nice and Ad free w/o having to pay anything.

"What is this? A van for ants? How can we be expected to get people to learn how to use electric cars… if they can't even fit inside the van. I don't wanna hear your excuses! The van has to be at least... three times bigger than this!" (AP)

I deal with enough hardware to know that just because two people have the same machines with the same hardware, doesn't always mean they will react exactly the same. Sometimes it could be minor faults in memory, that goes for the GPU as well. Perhaps one user has upgraded his firmware but the other hasn't, etc.

You're pointing the blame at Microsoft for a driver that they didn't write for a piece of hardware they didn't make. Makes sense to me. By the way Windows has a "safe boot" feature in case things like this happen. That's been around since Windows 95. Just press F8 as soon as Windows starts to load. For what it's worth…

Windows 8 doesn't force a Microsoft account but it does strongly suggest it ;-)

I'm pretty sure, for enterprise reasons, you'll be able to download the update through other means. Not to mention the only way you wouldn't already have a "Microsoft account" is if you use Windows but have never used Hotmail/Outlook, Live, Skype, XBOX Live/Music, Zune, Windows Phone, Messenger, SkyDrive or some other…

People still shutdown? I find the Windows 8 sleep mode to be very efficient so I always just let my computers sleep on their own. If it's a tablet press the power button and if it's a laptop close the lid, instant sleep without using a menu or shortcut. Desktop users, you can press the power button on your computer if…

Brandon did mention more info to come, in the comments. At least now we know it's free even though it's not a service pack. So far I've really enjoyed Windows 8. I only find it hard to use on laptops with only touchpads as your mouse device. I find a normal mouse perfectly usable, but it really shines on a tablet.

"Also, if you're purchasing a used care" I think you mean car, unless "used care" is a term I haven't heard. :)

I know people are saying, this is nothing new and that's true. I haven't used these or heard of them before but I would point out that these are

I'm doing lending club now. Shannon, covered it well so I'll just say help a fellow lifehacker out using my referral :) The advantage to not opening another credit card is that it won't impact your credit in the same way as having another open account in which you "could" accumulate more debt. That's the way creditors…

I'd recommend using a reed diffuser, if you have the space to stick it in the area where the A/C draws air. They are about $6 from Glade or you could make your own and pick whatever scent you want. DIY Reed diffuser

Because...that's my last name. I don't need more of a reason than that :)
