I've just never used their full-screen mode. Tried it once, saw the grey second screen and was done. You can get 3 displays on the new Mac Pro without AirPlay. But to get more screens on something like a Mac Mini, this might be a welcome temporary solution. Certainly not useful to me, though.
P.S. What did you mean by "list the files within an hour of a folder?" This sounds like a job for find in the Terminal, but I really can't tell what you're saying.
Bonus points if I could natively use Windows UNC paths from those people still stuck on Windows without adding "smb:"
There's nothing at all wrong with standardizing on URI. Windows even has a structure in place for adding URI's for other applications, but they still don't offer SMB built-in.
Just look at what they did with Final Cut Pro. It's just an excuse to charge a higher price for what's essentially an "app" - very inflexible and stripped down.
It takes an excessively paranoid person to dedicate themselves to something like Wikileaks. I didn't think the fact he was crazy was ever in question. That doesn't mean we don't benefit from it.
If they weren't trying to make sure Metro apps could compile cross-platform with little extra work they could just mandate that Windows 8 Desktop apps must offer a desktop mode also regardless of whether they use Metro or not.
The weather app isn't something I'm going to go to several times a day. But when I do, I want to look at a lot of details. But the Metro use case doesn't apply to everyone.
Eventually I see them just putting a Metro app inside a virtual "full-screen" window that maximizes back to real full-screen Metro mode similar to how ModernMix does it. No extra effort from the programmer. All apps should deal with varying screen sizes anyway. Especially since they usually have a mobile counterpart with a much lower resolution.
Could "Press F12 for boot menu" on some boards still be offered by UEFI? I assume since you can still press F2 for "Setup" that this would work too. If so, you can just initialize USB after hitting that. Wanting your bootloader to handle a one-time boot without bypassing it is not really worth slowing down every other boot for me. I think Microsoft's recommendation is sound. Especially if it can be turned off optionally.
Full screen apps aren't a problem. The problem is replacing productivity apps with full screen ones. I like OS X's way of making apps full screen - every app that can do full screen has a windowed mode as well. Microsoft Word shouldn't be full screen, but if I'm writing a book I may not want any distractions. If I'm playing an immersive game, Metro or traditional UI doesn't really make a difference - full screen is still full screen.
The Metro weather app that comes with Windows 8 is great. I don't want it up constantly - I just want to pull it up and then go back to what I was doing. It's a full mental context switch anyway, so it might as well take the full screen.
All it does is merge the file tree for two folders (All user and current user) and display it graphically. Rewriting it shouldn't be that hard. It doesn't even have to be exactly the same.
I would be happy if they'd just make each subfolder spawn its own start screen and tack on a little more backward compatibility for older programs on the start screen. It's the complete lack of organization on the start screen that bugs a lot of us. I never did like traversing the whole start menu tree anyway, but at least it wasn't a complete mess.
Most of the time, I just hit the Win key and type a few letters of the program's name. So for the most part, the start screen vs. the start menu made little difference for me.
You're right. DOS couldn't multi-task, so if you have a blinking cursor at a command prompt you know the disk isn't in use. I'm not sure how that's a great thing.
That article takes it to the logical conclusion and says their max viable age is something like half a million years. After 10,000 years, you'll have a lot of broken bonds, but this animal has a LOT of cells and a LOT of copies to work with. You can analyze all the fragments and work out at least one complete sequence if you have several billion copies.
Not dangerous by any sensible definition. The outside of the steak is hot enough to kill bacteria. The inside of the meat has no bacteria. The difference between medium rare and raw is the risk of foodborne illness.

Well, then I expect Apple to sue them shortly. They do love those time travel lawsuits.
Either a thunderbolt drive or adapt thunderbolt to USB 3 and take your pick of USB 3 drive.
Nothing pro about it

Did you read anything in the summary? This is an outside consultant being asked by the business to solve this exact problem.

Animated backgrounds? Why not just add HTML backgrounds. Active Desktop all over again.

Try Win+I. That brings up a power option on the right.

I think it's appropriate that I almost spit out my drink at your joke.

Wait..Ignore braindead post. Misunderstood which direction this interaction went.
But pennies are only 2.5% copper.
But that's not a very large dose of Vitamin C. But a whole bag of oranges might count - much harder to choke on whole, though.
Low social functions could also mean not really speaking out when asked (forced) to work 12 hour days.
I would expect the opposite. High social functioning people are usually the ones kept for 12 hour days because of their perceived social obligation.
the death is mechanical, not chemical.
The only thing you could possibly mean is a pill so large that it blocks the airway. Otherwise, chemical.
