Previously, if I clicked the search button and typed in the name of a file it'd pop right up like magic. After the 1607 update it will no longer display the...

    Start Is Back, Win8 = great now

    I've been using Win8 on my desktop for the past 8 months or so with the RC versions and the past two months from a clean install "upgrade". I still couldn't get used to the lack of a start menu and things. I tried hard, I really did. Now with a $3 program, all is right with the world again...

    Downfall (film) for US digital download?

    Anyone know where I could buy a digital copy of the film Downfall (2005)? The UK iTunes site has it here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/movie/downfall/id313594880 But I can't find anywhere to get it in the US. It doesn't have to be iTunes, that was just an example but I'd prefer HD quality.

    Keeping dust out?

    Any ideas on keeping dust out of a new computer? My old one seems like it just becomes a haven for cat hair, wife hair, black dust... you name it I've vacuumed it. I looked around and saw a few commercial "wire" type filters. How are you guys keeping your cases clean?
