wow, so even after a full clean install and several revisions of dropbox it STILL doesn't fucking work for me. No friggin menu. So those 50GB for 2 years, no. Luckily Box.com has a working client and I have a plan with them, helpful bastards to, love them.
[QUOTE=Panda X;38332215]Aero Lite still exists. Its purpose is to replace classic. Which was its purpose in Dev/Consumer/Release previews as well.[/QUOTE] Where does it still exist?
[QUOTE=Jimmy422;38333979]Where does it still exist?[/QUOTE] In our hearts.

Think I'll pick this up once my Uni bookstore starts carrying it. If I'm upgrading from Windows 7 Ultimate, should I get Standard or Pro?
Does anybody know if Windows 8 has a built-in alarm app? I was poking around and I found files listed from "Alarm01" to "Alarm10" in Windows/Media/. They sound great, too.

[QUOTE=Demache;38287679]Have you updated all the metro apps? Some of the built in ones have updated several times since release fixing bugs and stuff. Note that you have to go to the Store to do this and not Windows Update (although make sure its up to date too). Just in case you didn't know.[/QUOTE] updating w8 and uninstalling avast seem to have fixed a lot of problem is there any trackpad drivers out yet? having to scroll manually on a laptop is annoying

if there's one thing I wished they would let us do, it's dim the metro wallpaper i like the patterns on a lot of the wallpapers but some of the accent stuff is so bright that I can't make out my folder names through it besides a dim wallpaper would make for some nice contrast
Just noticed that I gave up my name and the general area I live in. Damn live tiles. Have a field day, guys. Kind of fixed it. [QUOTE=SweFox*;38341118]Edit it out then?[/QUOTE] Done.

[QUOTE=xianlee;38327043]Probably a dumb question cause I just skipped through your website, but do you allow 512x512 windows tiles?[/QUOTE] Just started looking at what exactly I will allow and I'm sorry to say but the maximum allowed size will be 300x300 for @medium sized images. Windows displays tiles at a maximum size of 270x270 and it makes no sense to allow anything much bigger. All restrictions can be found at [url]http://www.tile8.com/?page=instructions#uploadinst[/url]. If you spot some mistakes please pm me.
Surface Pro pricing was [url=http://www.neowin.net/news/microsofts-surface-pro-pricing-leaked-on-german-website]leaked on a German website[/url], looks like it's going to be roughly $950 USD and shipping within a month. I don't know if I can hold off for 3-4 weeks though...and that Samsung tablet is tempting, especially if the Pro doesn't have a Wacom digitizer.
lmao it weights almost 1kg
if you're going to spend $950 on that I have no sympathy for you buy a real laptop
[QUOTE=Protocol7;38341892]if you're going to spend $950 on that I have no sympathy for you buy a real laptop[/QUOTE] Hmm, if I bought it from Germany it would be pretty cheap after Danish standards. You may have to have sympathy for me in the future.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;38342041]Hmm, if I bought it from Germany it would be pretty cheap after Danish standards. You may have to have sympathy for me in the future.[/QUOTE] I mean that there's literally no advantage to owning a surface pro it's going to be heavy, have a tiny screen with a huge resolution and none of the benefits of a tablet (I.E. battery life, portability, comfort) and all for more than the price of a comparable ultrabook.
In denmark, the price difference between the 16GB iPad mini and the 32GB nexus 7 is pretty darn small. The Nexus 7 is still better though...

Much better pricing, too.

Ah Windows 8 A decent upgrade to Windows 7 A stupid UI that I can moan about endlessly on forums (It's like Unity all over again) Entertaining shitstorms about stuff that nobody really cares about. Scary enough to push Valve into giving us some games on Linux. It's more than I could ever wish for. [img]http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ballmer-in-action.jpg[/img] I finally got round to playing with a friend's Win8 box. It's ok-ish.
I want Steve Ballmer to cover his head in oil and rub it all over me
