You're all way behind on the news.  They have a deal reached and can vote in the Senate tonight, the House on Tuesday, and then backdate everything to where it really doesn't impact everyone.  Here's the news if you don't believe me:

Yay! My taxes will just go up a lot now instead of a really lot.  :noexpression:

This was a little something I made last night, I've always liked the distinct skylines of the major cities. Tell me what you think of it?

Ahh, OK. I was just wondering how some people such as "TheWeatherChazz" get there BG's and icons. But thanks for your response!
I believe that he custom made his icons but I could be wrong. Look hard enough out there and you may find what you need ;)

I find Skydrive to be the most inconvenient cloud service in Windows 8. It's only accessible from the metro app and you can't save things to it from your web browser. If it offers you the option and you save it, go look in your skydrive-it's not there. At least, this has been my experience with it.
Just install the desktop app. It integrates into explorer. It acts like a regular folder so I store all my files into it when downloading stuff

My new computer has Windows 8 and I hate it. I find it more appropriate for a tablet or touch screen phone, not a laptop. I had to install vistart to get the classic start menu back. My question is why is the start menu so hard to find? :angry:
Also didn't 8 just come out a year or two after 7? I didn't see anything wrong with Windows 7 at all. It was very convenient to use as all the computers in my school's computer labs have them. If it's not broke don't fix it :no:
Windows 7 was released in 2009 Vista 2007 and XP in 2001. Microsoft is increasing product release times in an attempt to keep an up to date and relevant product similar to Macs yearly update. Windows 8.5 is expected to be released next year. I would expect 9 will probably come out just another year after that. Windows XP works just fine so perhaps Microsoft should have stopped development and continue selling a 12 year old piece of software.  :rolleyes:

I also have another question, do you guys know of any online backup system I can use for my files? I have about ~1800 songs I want to transfer to the new computer? I also want to install my slingbox on the new computer but I lost the CD disc. Since I had it on an XP machine, do you think 8 will have any significant compatibility issues with me installing programs that were originally intended for use on XP?
Skydrive is built right into Windows 8 and lets you access all of your files via web browser or through explorer on any Windows computer. It even works on Mac. You get 5gb free space just for having a Microsoft account and if you had signed up when it first came out, you'll be grandfathered in to 25gb of free space.

General Discussion / Re: Comcast Adds NBC Peacock to New Logo
« on: December 17, 2012, 08:16:23 PM »
NBC didn't decide to put the peacock in Comcast's logo. Comcast decided to do it on their own after an internal vote amongst their voting board.
So it's Comcast's fault and not NBC's?
I liked Comcast's logo and now NBC has to step in and ruin it.  :angry:  :sick: :finger:
Comcast bought NBC. Not the other way around. They can do anything they want with the NBC logo

Programming and Graphics / Re: Any Plans For New Icons Soon?
« on: December 16, 2012, 04:29:41 AM »
There were rumors of a new SD star platform coming out this spring so it's likely we may see a new set of icons then
I've heard there have been some delays so I doubt the schedule is still for a spring release.

I really like the font. Nice and clean yet still stylish. I thought at first this my cause some confusion for consumers but now that they are branding xfinity for their cable services it probably wont be an issue.

General Discussion / Re: Facebook Issue (Need to Vent)
« on: December 07, 2012, 02:23:55 AM »
This wasn't the first Facebook incident. Earlier this year, someone opened up an account with my name and photo pretending to be me. I've already put a stop to that after I spotted it.

Anyone else experienced these kinds of problems?
Maybe someone hacked into your account, posting an inappropriate photo, then deleted it? Thankfully I've never had this problem.
Seems like a lot of work
