Yeah, but then you wouldn't be able to search your dropbox, Gdrive, evernote, and other mail accounts you aren't willing to combine with gmail - in one search.

In many games, they choose to play a quite toned down background soundtrack without words or a looped quite tune in the background, or in cutscences, but I mean everybody that likes video games likes good music, and I would love if the devs or sound directors chose a appropriate song to play at certain times. I've…

Unless the upgrade fee, legacy drivers, and such are a problem for you, I'd suggest you switch over already. It's a lot faster, and 8.1 is now usable. Although I still use "startisback." Which organizes your desktop apps in a start menu, and your Modern Apps in that other place, I don't see very often. I thought the…

Listen, I think I agree with your sentiment on the matter, but the fact is these laws are made to protect the bulk of the people. That bulk of people are stupid kids and child-like adults, and they will text while they are literally driving, forget about sending a quick reply while your car is at full stop. And it's…

I often check the settings when I have time, to make sure I'm not going over my icloud storage. I've been thinking of offloading my devices photo's to my desktop using Bit-torrent sync, but then I'd have to deal with having the app drop off from active multitasking. I'm pretty sure Dropbox phone photo transfer…

I'm pretty sure gmail's email is not sent through https by default either. Or am I mistaken?

Not really clever, but instead of going to the individual module, it's more convenient to press the windows button and search for "computer management," for a one stop shop for managing shares, disks, and such. Or Hit Win+R and type in "compmgmt.msc" or even launch "msconfig" and launch the shortcut in the tools…

I find pandora does it pretty well for me. They often have fringe material that spotify doesn't have, such as Jpop and things itunes doesn't even sell, like AKFG albums. The free version is sorta blown to bits by ads, so I get the paid every few months. They stopped allowing favoriting a song on ios mobile, so I have…

Geez, those are more like my read and write speeds for my ssd.

I'm finally able to brag about my speed, and make others feel bad. I have 75 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up ping time :16. (fastest non business line available in my area)

Yea before my small student discount applied, I was paying 170 a month to Sprint for my family plan of (my phone + my sisters phone.) Sorta Ridiculous considering the piss poor speed in NY.

I still have oldschool unlimited on Sprint, but much good that does. Sprint is super slow in NY. Sprint is even offering some weird new plan, where they boast to keep that plan unlimited forever or something like that. With my 15% student discount I can't really complain though, at least until Ting is available for…

With TI-84's and comparable calc's from the 90's still costing around 110 a pop. For the purposely lacking tech inside and huge cost saving - in those bulky form factors, courtesy of Texas Instruments, it's no wonder these people thought that their plan would work. They probably thought to sell them wholesale for…

Yeah don't get your hopes up on that, lol.

Actually those apps in the background aren't really *running in < ios7 . The main application process kills itself in like 3 minutes or somthing like that, unless they're specialized apps like someone forgetting to press "stop" on a gps navigation app after setting a course. In normal cases it's more trouble to X out…

Frankly I still think the complete cloud gaming, download when needed was a step in the right direction, for consumers, convenience, and game dev's. And a system for digitally borrowing games would have been implemented eventually. Although with them selling Xbox HDD's with prices like their super high end SSD's, I…

I wish there was a software element that allowed the game to run minimized, so that the computer is still useable. I don't have a "dedicated" gaming machine; it's also for productivity and staying connected, so I need to use it even if a friend, or sibling is using it to stream a game.

Yeesh the glossy texture on it gathers dust every few minutes. Looks pretty gross all the time. As for the brown keys, they are pretty darn good.

If the NSA reps are ever brought to congress again from public outrage, of course they will be questioned about maybe a handful of different instances, if even that - and the number of times they did it, rounded down to a single digit. Also the wording will be so perfect by the NSA reps that people will, just accept…

Microsoft's really has lost touch in so many aspects, not just from a marketing, or public image perspective. Sony, well they're just like them, except they understand their place better -they exist because of their customers-. It's almost like Microsoft is too accustomed to treating their customers like they're the…
