WolfOfOne replied to the topic Kindle Fire @ WalMart on the Tablets board.
@Arkasai said: I bought my girlfriend a Fire for Christmas and she loves it. It's still running the stock firmware which I will say isn't that bad. There are plenty of options on XDA though if you don't like the stock firmware, there are a few ICS 4.0 based roms. I'd say it's definitely one of the better options out there in terms of cheap mainstream tablets, works great for ...

@Fish_Face_McGee: not to me, I'd rather be looking at the article I'm researching, hit the win key, search, and hit enter and just have a window pop up.  I don't want to be in the Metro zone :P.   I also dont see myself using Metro apps for much of anthing on my desktop as I normally have way more than 2 program windows open at a time.  Usually have a ...

still the results show up in the metro application, and it's not exactly the best use of screen real estate considering I have to go Desktop >Metro>Desktop just to search for a native Windows program, I don't see why they are so against letting people have the best of both worlds.  Keep the start menu when in Destop mode and have a "Tablet Metro Power Engage" button in the list ...

@Fripplebubby: Moonlight (or w/e the silverlight open source version is called) doesn't support whatever hinky DRM Netflix uses, otherwise it would totally work in Linux no problem.  You're right that it is pretty stupid and lazy of them as they likely have most of the software assets in place with all their linux based streaming boxes and Android application.  Just port the damn thing, it's not like they are a ...

I'm glad I'm not a tech support person at a call center as I'm sure they are in tears right now.  It's hard enough getting someone to hit the start button over the phone must less expecting them to be able to perform a swipe gesture or hover over the lower left of the screen!

WolfOfOne replied to the topic Full Array LED TV's on the Please Help! board.
Agreed, even edge lit TVs should not have janky motion, unless you're using 120Hz soap opera mode :P Try a different refresh rate first.  The issue with edge lit is that you get uneven lighting in large TVs (a "halo effect") which full array tries to solve using LEDs over the back of the screen and usually has local dimming to improve contrast.  Vizio makes some full array w/ local ...

Heh, finally found some contact info for them.  For some reason I totally kept missing the "contact us" button when looking all over the help section (they sneakily put it in the Self Service row of links lol.)

WolfOfOne started the topic Amazon Unbox Player Help on the General Discussion board.
Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me figure this out.  Apparently, I've used up all of my download licenses for Amazon's Instant Videos using their Unbox Player.  The thing is, this is the same PC only a fresh install of the OS.  And the only way to release a license is to unistall it from one of the PCs w/ the movie downloaded.  I haven't used the Unbox player ...

@Rallier: Hmm, yeah now that I think about it, it'd be hard to ship the finished builds.  Maybe they could have the lego creations displayed in the office and get a signed photo of the builder w/ their creation :p

Judging from your responses, it seems that my position on "Sent from my phone" signatures might be a little extreme.

Apparently doing anything remotely "overrides the system" even if that is precisely what the system is intended to do. I blame TV for this.
