[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;30397199]So i checked the update window to see what needed to be done and saw, Under the "Important" section i saw "Internet Explorer 9" :silent:[/QUOTE] It's probably a good idea to keep IE updated - its rendering engine is used by a lot of programs, and there's others that don't respect the browser settings and always use IE to open a web page. If it's fully up-to-date, you don't have to worry about catching any viruses if some program decides to open it.
Yeah but my thought was that they had been told to not ship or update IE directly in the OS a while back since other browser did not get as much change to get some part of the market. But from your reaction i probably was wrong [editline]12th June 2011[/editline] Just checked, I was wrong. Time to commit Seppuku

Since IE's layout engine is actually integrated into the Windows API, they can't completely remove it, and apparently updating it is allowed.

Well we know that Best Buy and Geek Squad are just some money scamming whores any way so there is no surprise there.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy started offering a $150 service to press the power button on your new "pre-optimized" laptop.
[QUOTE=Mandrith;30400029]Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy started offering a $150 service to press the power button on your new "pre-optimized" laptop.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure 70% of the world would need that service for desktop macs.
[QUOTE=Mandrith;30380115]That sounds like something my sister would do. I started playing Dwarf Fortress once, and didn't save for an hour or two, and I got up to go to the restroom. I came back after less than a minute, and my sister had already jumped on the Mac, closed Dwarf Fortress, and started posting on some stupid website about cats called Mweor (Sometimes she sits on the Mac and watches Ghost Whisperer or one of the Step Up movies for FIVE FUCKING HOURS STRAIGHT). I complained, and she screamed at me. My parents didn't give a damn about it. This happens often and it really pisses me off. I'm glad I'm building my computer soon, so I won't have to deal with her. EDIT: Also, she NEVER wears headphones. Jesus christ, I don't want to hear every single goddamn obscure British band song in existence and everything that happens in whatever movie she is currently watching at maximum volume while I'm trying to read. Also, she feels that it is completely necessary to describe every single detail of whatever movie, movie trailer, TV show, book or forum post she just watched/read/wrote when she walks by.[/QUOTE] my sister plays minecraft with me, also she plays fallout 3/new vegas and portal suck my dick bitches [editline]12th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=patq911;30399363]I can't believe no one has posted this here yet.

[QUOTE=patq911;30399363]I can't believe no one has posted this here yet. Stolen from LMAO pics. [img]http://i.imgur.com/hgM3j.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I don't know which is worse, that they're charging that much or that there are people who would pay that much.
Some more content I got from Best Buy yesterday... Their display screen advertising specs of all of the computers: [img]http://i.imgur.com/xnscj.jpg[/img] Kind of misleading, nothing horrific though: [img]http://i.imgur.com/0ndFg.jpg[/img] ... [img]http://i.imgur.com/HGAEy.jpg[/img] :suicide:
[QUOTE=Shooter;30400951]Some more content I got from Best Buy yesterday... [img]http://i.imgur.com/0ndFg.jpg[/img] Okay, kind of misleading...not too bad, though [img]http://i.imgur.com/HGAEy.jpg[/img] :suicide:[/QUOTE] aside from some oversimplifications that's fine
[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;30400972]aside from some oversimplifications that's fine[/QUOTE] Some massive oversimplifications, yeah. Although I dread to think what details the "Customer Specialist" will give. It's rather intriguing that their "Specialist" isn't a "computer" specialist or a "technology" specialist, but a "customer" specialist. Specializing in making customers buy things.
I edited my post. [QUOTE=Generic.Monk;30400972]aside from some oversimplifications that's fine[/QUOTE] Gross oversimplifications. [quote=A wise man once]Computer illiterates: Give them their GBs and GHz and let them be.[/quote]

I've seen a "Gaming computer" with DIRT 2 in a store, with the game paused mid-race. Looked in the settings, everything maxed out, including tessellation. Unpaused to see how it looked, the game ran at ~20fps, when it was supposed to be a show-off of a "Great" computer. It didn't out work so well seeing it was a slideshow :v:
