[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="8" id="3407392"]I'll never understand why people adopt products early, when they're most problematic while abandoning OSs like W7 which are perfectly good. I can't stand W8, so 8.1 is probably MOTS.[/quote] Exactly. Well said. [quote who="RedneckDude" reply="9" id="3407398"]We beta test for Stardock, don't we?[/quote] Some of us don't. I haven't used Stardock software in years.
Windows 8.1 is out and yet Windows 7 is still a better OS. Imagine that.
Got it, thanks.
[quote who="kona0197" reply="8" id="3404818"] Quoting moshi, reply 6yes, but keep in mind that if you have an account at YouTube, GMail, Google Drive, Picasa, etc. you also have a Google+ account. Not true. I signed in to YouTube using my Gmail account credentials. YouTube tried to setup a Google + account for me, but I said no. I still have a channel on YouTube, but no Google + account. Probably because I had that YouTube account before Google + was created.

So if you don't have a Google + account everything is cool?

Yeah I know. I do protect myself, I just don't go to the extreme like some people do. That was my point. Thanks.
Reread post #20. Key words: I'm not saying I don't protect myself. I do .
Hey, I'm not saying I don't protect myself. I do. I just don't take it to the extreme you guys do. It's overkill.
That's not my point. My point is that people are taking extreme measures to secure there data when those measures are really not needed. Case in point: I've never had an issue. Is that hard to understand? Why make extra work for yourself? [quote who="DrJBHL" reply="15" id="3404134"]You're always free not to read them and not to comment.[/quote] I get the hint, thanks.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="12" id="3404120"]Some people care about losing banking data, passwords, social security numbers, etc. Go figure.[/quote] I care about those things as well. Just never had any issues. I was pointing out that I don't take such extreme measures. Some people take it to the extreme when that's not really needed. Tin foil hat anyone?
People looking over their shoulders it seems. Deleting browsing data every day, nor using auto fill, clearing this or that. Whatever. I've used Firefox for years. In all that time I have never had any issues. And I don't clear my setting or browsing data everyday, and I do use auto fill. I guess I'm different. I just don't have issues.
Lots of paranoid internet users here on WC. [e digicons];)[/e]
No issues here running any browser.
No laughing joke. I haven't had an issues with a virus in many, many years.

How do you put up with it? The only machine in my house that can keep up with me is the quad core. I would be pulling my hair out using that thing.
I wonder if Microsoft will again extend that deadline. So many computers are still running XP out there, and no one likes Windows 8.
[quote who="the_Monk" reply="20" id="3403892"]Well whatever right back at ya! It's not at all like I just happen to work in the field but hey............ignorance is bliss as they say![/quote] I'm not ignorant. Evidence speaks for itself. I have gone years without a virus.

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="3" id="3403815"]Never....and I mean NEVER use an account that has ADMINISTRATOR rights to browse the internet etc. Of course your system needs an ADMIN account but keep that one aside for installing/uninstalling etc. and use your regular USER account for everything else. Teach yourself the power that is your system's 'local security policy' (administrative tools) and again, provide your USER account with the least privileges necessary in order to use y
By the way the only other things I see wrong with Windows phones are lack of apps, phones aren't loud enough to hear when ringing, can't pick a custom notification sound, horrible battery life, they don't handle Gmail correctly, can't turn off the lock screen, and some models have no SD card slot.
My daughter has a Nokia 822. Whoever came up with the idea of using a mini USB plug for charging/data transfer needs to be hurt. The connection always gets lose and sloppy. I've had to replace that phone 2 times now.
Yep. Good old WC glitches. Like the one where it takes forever to load any WC page no matter what you do?
