I've been using the Quick Shortening method for a few years now, and can say it does a great job at keeping cables in good shape, and compact enough to throw in a bag, but with a few extra coils it's sturdy enough not to unwrap.

Yea! I thought about this thread the second I saw it. Good call! I was surprised by their trackpad approach. It cuts down a large portion of the "thumbstick dead-zone" that makes it so hard for controller users to compete with keyboard and mouse. I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised by how well it…

I dread the idea that he might be resurrected by an Elder God and released back into our world with fantastic new powers with which to ruin even more of our old favorite series.

This looks terrible... People didn't play LoK games just for the vampiric mayhem. We loved them for the deep story, superb writing and incredible voice acting. This looks like garbage. I for one will not be buying it. I'll just go find a used copy for SR2 and replay that cursing the developers of this game the whole…

That makes sense. I was pretty shocked by the news that they let the majority of that team go. What has me really exited for this is fact that they are taking pride in the openness of the system and the ability for the user to upgrade hardware and software; it tells me it's got to be something closer to a standard…

Lol. That sounds a lot more feasible, but with all the articles around about Valve's experimentation with pc hardware, it's much more likely we'll get a SteamBox. Since SteamOS is supposedly going to handle a lot of media purposes besides games, I think internal storage will be a factor, and it's not likely that they…

A controller to actually run the games and it just streams them to the tv through a computer? Are you serious? I'm sorry, but there's just no way a gaming controller will have the power to run Crysis for me. Not happening.

Wait, iOS is just getting Auto App Updates now??

If you're lucky enough to have the space to run it front to back along the side of the cabinet/closet, then you could still fit short items under it without blocking much of anything.

This probably works, but for the folks across the pond, they could probably get the same effect by entering this easy to remember number.

It was pretty cool. For like a week. But I was probably about 16 at the time.

I've found Better-Snap Tool to be THE go-to app for OSX multitasking. It adds Windows-7 style window snapping with even more customization (animation speeds, preview color, 4 corners etc). It makes dragging and dropping very easy and simple to get the windows you want opened, and sized how you want, where you want. No…

I'm not going to go back and reread all the posts here. (I'm sure you see a lot of people have responded negatively to my initial comment.) Perhaps I was harsh in my response to you. I keep coming back to the car analogy in the discussion here, and I think it points out a flaw in my logic that applies particularly to…

When you have a busy day on the road, have you ever stopped to fuel your car on your own time before/after the work day? Would it kill you to give your computer some of the same attention?

So glad that someone else "gets it". Now if only your comment were first instead of mine, you might be catching all the flack that I am from the other users who can't be bothered to learn to run their machines properly.

Fascinating that yuou could glean so much information about my upbringing from a comment posted on the internet.

If your daughter is too young to pay attention to update notifications, maybe she's too young to be using an admin account. Perhaps you should have put her on a limited account, where updates won't be run in the first place.

I would imagine that rinsing is pretty important as to not attract additional insects?

No, probably not. If it works like old offline maps it does something like an 8 mile box
