Any way to change the login screen for windows 8. It is currently an ugly grey -- can't seem to change it.

Everything updated -- Firefox freezes randomly and 40 seconds later flash plugin crashes. I don't expect a solution here, but would be interested to see if anyone else has similar issues. I don't really care to use chromewwdwadawdawdwadwawdaw

I have a thinkpad t500 which, while a little on the heavy side, still does the job for me -- with the exception of battery life. The 9cell I bought with it back in 08 gives me only about 1.5 hours. Bought a cheaper 6 cell off Dr. battery and it is just as worthless. New official thinkpad 9cell...

Hi guys, I just got windows 8 installed -- first time using metro. First impression on metro: I like it. It is an appealing visual experience versus the dull point and click experience i'm used to. I can definitely see myself using the mail client, news aggregator, and weather. I don't do...

just switched to classic... so much better than aero on the eyes. i find my computing experience more pleasurable on classic than aero. also, font rendering looks better imo. it is all in the careful use of color contrast i think.

i have a 320gb hard drive that i've done probably 7 windows reinstalls on where the old windows folder gets moved to windows.old. Point being, this thing hasn't been freshly formatted in ages. from what i understand, its better if often used files are clustered together, so i'm asking, what...

i play pc fps games where ping is crucial. I have other people using my connection wirelessly which causes my ping to spikes. I've tried the qos features on dd-wrt, they don't seem to work. Do the "gaming" routers on the market work? ideally i would just build a pfsense box or something, but...

i got my D1080MkII's the other day. My first set out active monitors. I'm running them from my Zero DAC. They sound great, but it is true they lack on the low end, but i'm finding i really don't mind. The speakers came greatly packed, with white gloves to handle them. But i didn't get an owner's...
