Pc Geek: your last words

Your last words are probably like mine:


and why not: "destroy my hard-disks!" ... and "burn in the fire my pendrives!".

What I hate #1

In the computer world:

  • App word:
I fucki** hate this word, "app".
My hate destroys me every time I hear "app".

iOs has "apps"
there is an "app" for everything
Android has "apps"
"app"-stores
Chrome has "apps" (extensions-plugins-someothershittyword)
This OS has "apps"
did you download this "app"?

And now...

Microsoft has called programs ... applications? None. Software? None. User software? None.
APPS!!!

Kill me! I don't deserve to live
It's all so trendy-fashion-casual!

  • Facebook integration
I hate with all my heart software that want integrate Facebook functions or Facebook account.
"Like Button" is ok, but your Skype account linked to the Facebook account linked to the Google account linked to the Firefox account linked to the Live account linked to the Blogger account linked to the Youtube account linked to the Steam account linked to Facebook account integrated in your Office suite is MADNESS.

Windows 8 build - Developer Preview

Have you tried the alpha version of Windows 8? See previous posts!
If you have questions or suggestions visit http://win8.ms/forums


First look:
I've tried this Developer version, ok, it's not the final version, it's not a Beta version, it's an alpha-alpha version so... may changes.
In my first try:
  •  What a speed!
  •  Ribbon menu? Minimized is good, maximized is ... crap
  •  Quick Access Toolbar: removed, horrible
  •  How can I shutdown the system??? On Settings/Power/whataoption... WHAT?
  •  Metro UI... awesome... on a fuck*** tablet
  •  Where is my Aero 3D?
  •  Why in the normal UI everything clicked opens the Metro UI???
  •  How can I close an app opened in Metro UI (yeah, task manager...what?)
  •  You can switch between Metro UI and normal UI in a click


Conclusion:
Ok, ok, ok... it's only an alpha version, only an alpha version, only...
Technically is a good Windows (works on tablet, boot, features, etc...), but there is NO separation between the two interfaces... clicking the "Start Button" in normal UI and Settings window opens is in Metro UI style, IT TOTALLY GLOBALLY SUCKS.

But Metro UI rocks in a tablet:

  •  new task manager
  •  new welcome screen (with pattern logon)
  •  hybrid booting (more speed on boot)
  •  system reset (back to default settings)
  •  ribbon interface like in Windows Explorer
  •  tablet support (ARM processors)
  •  better disk cleanup (temp and other junk files)
  •  Windows App Store
  •  wake on Lan feature
  •  History Vault (like a Time Machine in MacOs, replacing the Backup and Restore of Windows 7)

On update...

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/



  •  everything runs on Seven runs on 8 (retrocompatibity :D) and 8 runs everywhere
  •  better memory and cpu management, system works easily on old hardware (less resources used than Seven in the same PC)
  •  ARM processors support
  •  UEFI support 
  •  better battery management (for tablet, etc...)
  •  tablet/pc sensors support (gyroscope, etc...)
  •  more tools for developers, you can program in your favourite language and compile for WMobile, Metro Ui etc... the same code
  •  develop your app and put it on the Windows App Store!
  •  Metro UI for tablets (or desktop if you want), full customization and gestures, docking apps, immersive IE, zooming, selection dragging, you can use it with your finger or keyboard and mouse
  •  switching between Metro UI and normal UI in a flash (or put the other UI in your secondary monitor)
  •  Hyper-V
  •  new copying files system (with pause/resume, increased speed)
  •  Refresh pc, system like new without touching your files
  •  very good support for multi monitors (extended wallpapers, different UI in different monitors) ...

and much more, this Windows 8 is not a beta, only a preview build!
More features are coming!

Let's try Soluto: anti-frustation software!


Let's try this software that promises to detect and fix some pc problems and speed-up your computer.


Download it from the website:

The install procedure is easy, the installer checks if you have the .Net Framework up to date, creates a Restore Point and then downloads the program.

What  a nice graphic-style!


and........ on XP doesn't work, some error. My fault? I don't know.
Let's try on Seven...

Yeah, it works!
The software is calculating the first boot time... (you can avoid this if you want)

There are 3 modes: 
  • Chop Boot: reduce boot time (it shows you the removable software in the boot and calculate the time earned)
  • Lighten Web Browser: speed-up your browser (toolbars and other crap destroying)
  • Heal Crashes: collects all crash/freeze/fault reports (I have no crash so I can't use this feature)
I perform some upgrades in this first boot, normally the system is ready in 1 min.
There is a timeline with the improvements of your system and so on... nice.
Imho, the software is useful for this "chop" function, but it's a Beta version, so I hope that will be more features in the complete final version.

Hard Reset



I'm trying this indie game demo (from Steam, but you can obtain it in different ways)...
The graphic is awesome, the gameplay is nice, but I don't like too much futuristic fps :-(
