Reply to Windows Blinds 7.95 Beta - Windows 8 - Virus Warning in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

My Norton did not say anything about the beta and I downloaded it on day 1 - also if you trust a prog and it gets automatically deleted after the download open up Norton and tell it to restore the recently deleted file. if you want to know about the program use Norton insight ... I did it with all beta releases so far and Insight highlighted everything as green- You are more likely do get virus warnings on products such as stardock if you did not make a update of your defini

:D i dont understand why MS would spy on you over a console... I have heard this rumor going around 3 days over e3...my opinion on that is that the chance of getting spyd on over a conosle is 80% less than over your cellphone since it has more information stored in it. Maybee they take advantage of your browsing history to see what kind of games or movies your interested in to make special offers and such but i doubt that they will switch on the integrated cam to see you play games in bo

Reply to WindowBlinds 7.9x (WB 8) Beta Issue Thread in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Since i dont want to write negative stuff into the skinstduio beta thread i will post it here since its related to wb i guess. Normaly when skinning a startbutton i had the option to make a button and then if the button was bigger than standart we had the option to add the rest under glow. I did try that - first i made a normal button in 60x60 this button would normaly just be completely visable on a double sizes normal scaled taskbar.And it is SO i thought i go and cut it into

Yeah i´ve seen the E3 demo of Assasins creed Blackflag on PS4 the console was lagging and kept freezing during dialogs - was kinda like the surface presentation just worse :D What i liked was the fact that you can do with your purchased game what you want rent it to a friend or sell it also the fact that you dont have to be online or the need to authentificate your copy was pretty sweeet. Destiny was the game aswell as FF that gained my interest. # Edit: Nee

Reply to Why Windows 8.1 needs to bring back the full Start menu in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

While i partly agree with Frogboys post i still think that the lack of tutorials on a new OS number with completely new and different Interfaces is the reason it is what its is today. Start8 can solve the need of a missing startbutton and desktop startmenu while i think it is not needed as much as ModernMix. ModerMix is crucial to every windows8 user i think simpl,y because it provides the freedom to use your desktop after i installed it its the number 1 software for me that did what i wanted

Yesterday I stood up till 5 in the morning just to watch all of the E3 live streams. I enjoyed watching them especially EA´s stream. I heard about the hype around the boxes and the statement twice the processing power of a modern high end PC... I got angry not only because that’s the biggest Lie that came to my Ears in years but what shocked me the most was that almost everyone was swallowing it up...
