I for one think it would be cool to have promotions and advertisements tailored to me as represented here in Minority Report . But for some, this can feel like an invasion of privacy. What do you think? Does taking publicly available information into account to target advertising creep you out or sound like a good idea? The pros are that advertising could help better your life by providing in

You see my point then, which is Microsoft can compete, but they have work to do in order to stay ahead. If Apple and Google find ways to seamlessly update the tablets frequently that does not impact use then Microsoft will essentially have the exiting competitive pressures and have lost their lead in the area of security patches. Point being, doing nothing (in this case focusing on the phone market) is a choice in and of itself. If they don't do anything to capture the

First off let me say that I love Microsoft products. I am a Microsoft advocate. I have been selling or supporting Windows products my entire career. The point here is I want to continue doing so long into the future. OK, with that said, I want to outline some thoughts I have been repeating (a lot) lately for those who care. I am passionate about the tablet space because it offers so much more. Tablets are more intimate, available and portable. They

Today I stopped using Outlook. I have been using the program since since 1997 (before that I used mainframe email, my how times have changed) and loved the productivity gains over "Big Blue". I could now "drag and drop" attachments into my email, and archive contacts easily. It was enough to make me switch. Then came PDA's where I could actually SYNC my data and take it with me! Wow. I was in heaven. However, recently, I purchased a new phone.&nbs

How could you not list Civilization on that list? All of the Stardock games are turn based strategy, so omitting Civ seems like an oversight at best.

Possibly intermittant connectivity issues. Statistically speaking if the connection is glitchy randomly at intermitant periods, the odds are much higher you will see one hickup over 4GB (which we didn't retry by the way). Now we allow a hickup over 100MB segments and we retry up to three times during each segment. Zargon

Currently Ready to Play is taking a lower priority than delivering a spectacular game experience in Elemental. It has not died, we like the matchmaking as well. :-) Zargon

Today I was let down by PayPal. Here is how it happened. About ten years ago someone opened a PayPal account in my name. The account was fraudulent, and the only way I found out about it was an accident. I tried to add one of my credit cards to my PayPal account and was rejected because the credit card was already tied to another PayPal account. Another PayPal account? What? I don't have any other PayPal accounts! So I called PayPal, and the F

PCDoc, Hi. Can you please click on the blue question mark after a failed download and then send us your error log? Also, this is not "just something to try" as it often is the root cause of download issues with MD5 checks. Can you run a memory check on your PC? Often MD5 issues are caused by bad memory. We recently in fact had this issue in house and it turned out to be a bad memory chip in the offending PC. Our support team runs into this frequen
