The big Windows 8.1 update will be available to the public on October 18th.  An entry on the Windows Blog this morning confirmed the date and gave more information.

"I know a lot of folks are eager to find out when they will be able to get Windows 8.1. I am excited to share that starting at 12:00am on October 18th in New Zealand (that’s 4:00am October 17th in Redmond), Windows 8.1 will begin rolling out worldwide as a free update for consumers on Windows 8 through the Windows Store...

The ultimate bug out vehicle

Wow! Lots of PMs and tweets regarding yesterday’s article on what would happen with the collapse of the grid.

Let me first say that I make no claims to be an expert on EMP.  There are a lot of people who are convinced that a reasonably strong EMP would disable modern cars.   I don’t happen to agree with that view. Hopefully we’ll never find out. I’m going to assume that the most likely doomsday scenario people will likely face will be a long-term power grid outage that leaves...

When I put my first above ground pool in around the late 90's we were able to open it in April and start swimming in May.

Now my pool is just opened and still not warm enough to swim in

Hi guys. Just wanted to see if anyone out there has had bariatric surgery and if so, do you have anything you'd like to share?

 

Helpful tips, things to watch out for, etc.

I received a E-mail today from a site called Edgerunner. It was advertising Multiplicity, however there was a warning that the source could not be verified.

I therefore blocked and deleted. Has this site anything to do with Stardock.

Why is it taking so long to process my order

0
0
I placed my order for Object Desktop, Tweak 7 and Objectdock Plus v2 last Saturday. I was advised that it would take up to 2 working days to process the order. Well it's now another weekend and still when I log on it says I have no orders and strangely the shopping cart still says I have 3 items in it despite receiving an order confirming the order and giving me an order number 2171806.

Can someone from Stardock please look into this as I am getting concerned.

Many thanks.

Caesium Image Compressor: 90% Compression and No Quality Change Free

For photographers, bloggers and graphics folks good news. This is a great way to compress images up to 90% and reclaim some space on your disk.

When you compress images you change the quality. Sad fact of life. You even use types of storage which keep quality yet use large file types to prevent loss. This costs you space and therefore, as you produce more, you have to buy more storage and maintain it. It’s available for Windows OS only, and has a user friendly interface.
