Or previous customers. I thought that was a rule or I heard about that some time ago. Can anyone else verify?

I doubt I am the only one that uses Adblock. Ads are really annoying. I don't come here to shop. Also as a previous customer I shouldn't being seeing ads anyhow right?

Interesting. No edit button. By the way OP Wikipedia says Chrome has a bigger market share than IE.

People still use IE? Good way to mess up a good running system.

Correct me if I am wrong but even if I do see the ads one has to click the ads to generate revenue right?

Sounds good Jafo. I have no idea about how to do that. I'm not fluent in android operating systems. I have an app on my phone that kills open apps every 4 hours. Would that work?

"Oh, the final insult is of course Windows 8. It has no concept of "closing" a program, so start enough of them, and you zap the battery real fast. Which kind of defeats the purpose of a tablet (at least one major part of it)." My daughter's Android has no way to shut down apps as well. Or none that I know of. She has to restart that machine about once a month to get it to work right. Sorry about the crude quote use. The quote button is not working for

You guys should run Firefox with the extensions I am using. No ads. Zero.

For those of you who are following this story I would like to let you all know that I was able to land a job. I had my orientation last Saturday, and my first work day will be this Thursday. The computer is taking about 2 minutes to boot. Can that be speed up? I used to 40 to 50 seconds with Windows 7.

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="4" id="3322977"]However, big question about the potential ability to succeed on the market of next gen consoles remains, because new mobile devices and tablets are stealing their market share. Wii U is a minor disaster and so was PS Vita.[/quote] Yeah you did mean to say that the Will U was made by Nintendo right?

Sorry Doortech. It's been a very long time since I have used any Stardock software. I used to skin Windows XP. I really like the default look of Vista and 7 so I just use that. I still have Windows 8 here. I have it loaded in Virtualbox and I test drive it every now and then. Windows 7 is what I am using now.

Bootcamp is a program that allows Windows 7 to run an Apple hardware, not the other way around.

Looks like Sony's new PlayStation 4 will use modified AMD processors. Bite on that one Intel! http://blogs.amd.com/fusion/2013/02/21/amd/

[quote who="starkers" reply="269" id="3322826"]I've never used OS-X so I have no idea what it's like, but from what I can ascertain, I'd be able to run it on my rig if I were to purchase a copy.[/quote] You wouldn't be able to run it. OSX is coded to only run on Apple hardware. There is a way to run OSX on non-Apple hardware but it involves hacks and runarounds to do so.

SKS? WB? I don't use those so I don't have them installed. It's been years since I have used SKS or WB. I don't skin anymore. I prefer the default look of Windows 7.

Thanks Jafo. Seriously, it wasn't a complaint. I was just asking a question so I would know. I want this computer to last as long as it can. :)

Reply to So the computer finally is showing it's age in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

No, that is not a complaint. A complaint would have been along the lines of "This CPU cooler sucks. Why doesn't it cool better?" My response was just a statement. I was concerned that the CPU cooler wasn't cooling the CPU well enough. I was simply caring for my computer.

Whats the point of abetter CPU cooler if the rest of the system is suffering? I would like to see my hard drive temp come down a bit. My RAM gets hot to the touch.

Reply to So the computer finally is showing it's age in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Looks like the most my CPU can handle is 143F. Right now it's sitting at 104F. I think I am OK. I might get a better CPU cooler in the future. What about my case and hard drive temps?

Reply to So the computer finally is showing it's age in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Cool. At what temps should I start to worry?

Reply to So the computer finally is showing it's age in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys are these temps normal? The weather lately has been in the 50s. Wondering if I need more fans to cool the system when the 80 degree weather gets here.
