HP killed the touchpad yesterday? But I saw an ad for it on TV today! Cable is sure behind the times. It seems that Apple is still on the hunt for consumer electronic dominance. Now all they have to do is overtake Google (maker of Android). I guess that an Apple a day will keep the TouchPad away, permanently.

I love my Desktop PC. One of the best aspects of owning a Desktop is to easily upgrade/customize the crap out of it. Everything from adding more memory, a second drive, installing additional PCIe cards or CPU coolers, and even cool bright LED fans and cold cathode lights. Laptops on the other hand, are much harder to customize (hardware wise) and have VERY limited space. So no cool LED fans for you. Smartphones and Tablets? Virtually no customization.&nbs

*reads posts* @Starkers: That would suck to have to wait and wait and wait to have your "dream machine" delivered. I've had a few things (not necessarily computer related) that came in really late, and it's frustrating. I'm like, "how long is this gonna take?" or, "is my stuff even being delivered in the first place?" kind of thing. What would suck even more is if your current PC's on its' last legs, and not having a reliable (or any) intern

It's nice to see this thread revived. I've slowed down on upgrading/modding since I first posted this thread. After all, I don't want to burn a hole in my wallet. This is what i've done since my first post (I may be double posting, please forgive me if I do): ->Added a red LED fan (mainly for looks) on a side "vent" of my PC's chassis. This is where my hard drive used to be when I first bought my machine (an HP, HPE-400f, a rather budgety

I myself have been trying to scale back on newer techonlogies. I think that we've entered an age where privacy is obsolete. Here's my two cents about what I use/don't use: -> I don't own a smartphone, nor do I want one (anymore) after finding out about how it tracks your every move and site you visit and app you purchase (they're GPS navigated right? So big brother will know EXACTLY where you are at any given time) ->I'm a dedicated De

I wonder why everybody's talkin' about Pale Moon? But I sure as heck love it. Using v3.6.15 and looks Perfect with my own Glassphire 2 interface. Same goes for other 'Blinds. Maxthon's been giving me problems, since my BSOD days a few weeks ago, (like reverting back to the old v2.0.5 and eliminating my plug-ins & customizations) so I said "Screw it" and moved on to Pale Moon. @ reply #20 I hear you. I'd rather keep al

I'd prefer Vista over this crud anyday. I don't even do social networking or use the cloud. I like all my programs & settings & customizations stored LOCALLY on my PC. Soon, the PC may not be so "personal" anymore. And FYI, where the hell can you use a wallpaper? Windows?! With no Wallpaper?! Let alone no Deskscapes video walls, is just sad. There

I took a few components out of my system (for now) which I might think is the root of the problem. Namely my SATA III PCIe Adapter. Also removed a cathode light as well, and have my HD turned off. I also found a Power Supply Calculator on Antec's site. http://www.antec.outervision.com/PSUEngine . It gives an approximation of how much power all your devices are using. It even has overclock setting

I'm using Vista Business x64. Nope not Nvidia. ATI Radeon HD 5450. It's a "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" and it only happens when i'm cleaning up my PC (so far). I had the BSOD three times tonight when I had my "now" external 1TB Hard Drive on (it was originally my internal HD that came with the system. i'm running Windows on an SSD now.) My hard drive is currently off. And I can't switch my video card slot. It only fits in a PCI Exp

Okay. I've been having this problem for a while. I get a 0x000003b BSOD message after exiting my Maxthon Web Browser. Today, I also got it while running scans for Advanced SystemCare 4 and Privacy Mantra. I think there's two parts to this. A) The BSOD occurs only when trying to clean my computer, and more importantly B) I think i'm stressing my 300W power supply. A few days ago, I installed an external Hard Drive case (with an independent power source) and thu

It took them long enough. This gives reason for Mac users to install an AntiVirus & Internet Security Suites just like the rest of us (same goes for you Linux users). In the information age, nobody is immune to malware/ID Theft. Now it's only a matter of time until hackers deviate their efforts away from Windows (somewhat) and move onto Android, iOS, and possibly even Linux. And someday, Windows may become more immune to viruses than OSX, Android,

All of us here at WinCustomize enjoy making our desktops look like our own. But what about customizing & making our PC rigs our own? Like with fancy lights on the inside? Or custom decals on top of our notebooks? It's hard to believe that a site like this doesn't have a PC Modding thread. The purpose of this thread is to list the computer you've bought/built, and if you've upgraded it over time. (Buying a new PC doesn't count as an upgrade.) I mean,

Skinning browsers ain't what they used to be. And don't get me started about Chrome. No skinning capabilities whatsoever. Fail. At least IE 7/8, Maxthon 2/3 (to some extent), & Pale Moon can make good use using a WB theme. FF & MX2 look best with 3rd party themes provided on their respective sites. IE (and most certainly Chrome) do not have any 3rd

A few weeks. My PC is only 5 months old. No BIOS update. Vista Business x64, AMD Phenom 945 Quad-Core, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 60GB SSD (boot drive). It's probably just something I installed earlier this month (don't know what). Maybe a restore point would help? Well, it's not that big of deal. Just a minor annoyance. ;p

I'm having an annoying problem, and it may have to do with Fences. On startup, once the desktop loads, everything loads just fine except...I can't click on any Icons, or right-click to see a context menu. But my Taskbar, Startmenu, and Explorer windows work just fine. Tried uninstalling fences, and I could access my icons. After I reinstalled fences, the desktop locks up again. Killing Explorer and restarting it always solves the problem. But...I don't want

Thanks. I saved this page to my Favorites for future viewing. I first learned animating elements by learning from other peoples' skins, then playing with the settings myself. I mostly use the freebie Paint.NET for image strips because it's so much easier to use, although it's not nearly as comprehensive as PS.

I just uploaded a Beta of my new Glassphire 2 earlier today. It should take only a few days before appearing in the WB Gallery. Here are some of the highlights of Glassphire 2: ->It's a very colorful skin. ->Textures can be applied flawlessly. ->Features Explorer & Tab Backgrounds. ->Start Menu is part Opaque, part semi-transparent Glass (brings the "Glass" back in Glassphire, doesn't it?). ->Buttons and Checkboxes have an o
