I recently moved to Europe from the US and am now having to deal with a Berlin summer with no AC. It isn't too terrible, but being used to constant AC I would love some more respite. Does anyone have tips on keeping cool in a European apartment? i.e. a space where none of these solutions is practical. Anything other…

Was really excited when I found the Office web apps. I use skydrive a lot because it works out of the box with my windows phone and w8 hardware. Love that they are integrating it even more with w8.1.

I can't think of a time when I have reacted that strongly (or at least that LOUDLY) to anything... I think that may just mean that I live a sad, unexciting life, though ;)

Yes... I think this is partly also simply because it is giving the juices already on top of the steak a depressed area in which to pool. But I say we both keep forks away from our cooking steaks anyway, if only for our mental health.

The main reason I never like to use a fork to flip isn't because I expect giant rivulets of juice to come flowing out of the holes I just poked, but because I always seem to see juices flowing out of the meat as a whole as it is squished while the fork pokes into the meat. This being from compression rather than…

I really quite enjoyed the game a lot. I was a little annoyed that the time progression towards the end of the game jumped massively between certain quest points (make sure you look up what quest locks you into the final sequences.)

Yes, "just swipe up", or, with a mouse, click on a button that brings the apps list. Or, as AustinGuy2 said, just type the name of the program. Windows 8 is ridiculously easy to use for most of the use cases that people complain about. How much simpler can opening a program be that pinning it to a curated list of…

How so? They want Windows 8 and Windows Phone to succeed. For that to happen, they need to bring more, better apps to the system. The more exclusives the better. This is like saying Microsoft is dooming itself by making Halo exclusive to the Xbox.

Same here. (Though with the 920 and a surface). I am quite happy in the windows ecosystem except when it comes to games. It is about time microsoft started leveraging their gaming power behind Xbox to bring exclusives to Windows 8/WP8.

Are most canned fruits not also packed with added sugars, though? I ask legitimately: I don't know. (And don't feel like looking it up)

My roommate throughout college had this problem... We would often play Mario Kart 64 with other friends and it would get quite competitive. He had to keep paper towels or something next to his chair so that he could dry his hands every so often when the controller would get too slippery. They would sweat so much it…

This is more the topic I expected/would have been interested in reading about. Though I do not have kids, I have wondered about the etiquette of taking children to bathrooms of the opposite sex. When does it stop being OK to take a boy into the women's restroom, for example?

Go to Germany. You have to pay at most places (50 cents is common), but the public restrooms are generally quite clean!

As a male that has very often had to use public restrooms for more than just going to the urinal, I have dealt with very many toilet seats in public restrooms. Yes, they can be awful, but then you deal with that when it comes—not for every single restroom.

This seems less an article about dealing with kids needing to go to the bathroom than simply an article saying: "Germs are everywhere. DON'T TOUCH THINGS."
