On a lighter side;

This weekend my son had has his regional Science Olympiad events. He was entered in three events of which his teams took second place in each. While not first, they have advanced to the state events and a second chance to excel.

His events were meteorology, rocks and minerals and (my favorite) bottle rockets. Bottle rockets are plastic soda bottles with fins and such. They are filled part way with water, place in a fixture and then pressurized to 60psi. The time from lau...

I use Bing as my primary search engine, and they have a Bing Rewards program where you earn points by doing searches and you can redeem them for a variety of things.

Right now you can get an additional 100GB of storage on the recently updated OneDrive for just 100 credits.

There has been some posts made in the past concerning the relevance of PC's in today's society. I've always been a believer in the fact that PC's will be around for a long long time to come. Some of the things we do/create , require the power that only a PC can deliver. The great folks over at How-To Geek have posted a great article that addresses this question. Give it a read and post some thoughts of your own here.

YOU MAY:
1. Install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer.
2. Install a second copy of the SOFTWARE on a second computer only if you are the main user of this computer (home computer or laptop for
example).

That was quoted directly from the EULA, found here: http://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/helpDS325/eula.htm
 

So how exactly do I go about doing this? My first installation was on my personal laptop, which only I use. I was planning to do the second ...

Currently I have the trial for the software, worked like a charm for the first few minutes but now I get a rather odd bug!

I have two pages, with the function that allows you to drag your mouse from right to left - but the bug I'm having does that I see all of my desktop icons on the other page, and when I hold left click the rest disappears and I see those that actually are there.

 

The same is for the real page - I see the icons from the other page and when I hold left click ...

Hi,

as a long time customer and subscriber I PLEASE want an honest answer if ObjectDock is still in development or not and if it EVER will work right on 64-bit systems (shortcuts always pointing to c:\program files (x86)) problem. I am really sadly tired of the update politics and public relations on this matter at Stardock at the moment (again). Seen too many good SD-programs going down the drain I relied on (aka DesktopX / RightClick...).

A general update-plan would be great and also a n...

I spent a while away from the site to deal with various things, but on my return I notice the same few posters putting up various threads, and hundreds of lurkers, people who read those posts and benefit from the information provided, or get a laugh from them, but rarely or never contribute anything towards them.

So when I say it's sad, given how slow the forums can be some days, that's exactly what it is, S....A....D, SAD!  It reminds me of the old commuter trains we used to hav...

So I've had this problem for months now, been back and forth with Stardock technical support and nothing they suggest seems to fix it. I've used Windowblinds for years and apart from one issue with UAC a few years ago I've never had any big problems with it. But at the end of my tether I've disabled it this morning as I simply cannot fix this issue.

Basically what happens is my taskbar keeps locking up. By locking up I mean I click the icons and nothing happens, I can't pe...

I downloaded Linux Mint 16.....cuz I got tired of seeing bsods on my windows 7 installation....while I like linux for certain things and respect it....I have a huge problem with trying to customize it the way I want.....themes are a bear and you have to jump too many hoops.......I am using cinnamon......its interesting but the bottom line is that Windows is better and easier for customization.....so while I will keep linux on one laptop.... I think I will come back to and focis on Windows 7........

Apparently, millions of Yahoo users’ webcam images were intercepted by the British NSA equivalent GCHQ.

The period involved is 2008-2010 and in “Operation Optic Nerve” in which the NSA worked with GCHQ and in one 6 month period some 1.8 million users’ images were gathered. A large quantity of these were sexually explicit images, apparently.

"Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their b...

Equipment & Software:

Gateway mini-tower, Windows 8, Stardock (current edition).

Stardock works PERFECTLY in the original Admin User acct. in Windows 8.

Setup "NEW", LOCAL, STANDARD account with password. Reboot.

Starts in the ORIGINAL Admin account in Stardock Desktop. No evidence of new account except in Control Panel/Users Accounts.

What do I do in either Windows 8 or Stardock to SEE multiple User Accts logos to log in to...?
