I love my Xbox and it would take a lot for me to switch to a PlayStation, however the announcement is quite interesting and gives us a little incite into the next generation of consoles. Cut from BBC News here: Sony has announced its next-generation gaming console - the PlayStation 4 - at an event in New York. Its new hardware is designed to offer superior graphics as well as new social features including the sharing of recorded gameplay clips. It will succeed the PlayStation 3, which went on sale in 2006 and has sold about 75 million units. The PS4 will eventually compete against Microsoft's still-to-be-unveiled Xbox 360 successor and Nintendo's Wii U. …

so I wrote a short story back when I was in 8th grade and protected the file with a password. Needless to say, I forgot what's the password now x__x I need the story now so can anyone help? I browsed the net and found that "I am in luck" since I used Tools--Protect Document. They say I can just open a new document, click insert-file and insert the contents of the password-protected file to the new doc but I can't seem to find any "file" option on my "insert" bar :wacko: I'm on MSWord 2011. Help please?

Not sure if this should be here or the Steam Room but what are they playing at??? Have you seen the Outlook emails page? How old-fashioned, plain, boring and ugly is that? I want to stay on Hotmail, not forced to have the other! Just spent ages putting Grumpy's account back to Hotmail - mine thankfully hasn't made the move.

Okay so I am a nerd and love my PC games. Well, really the only PC games I play are The Sims 3 and Roller Coaster Tycoon and that's only when I have the time to actually sit down and play which is very rare lol. Anyway, EA is releasing 3 new expansion packs for The Sims 3 this year and I'm definitely buying 2 of them, the third one hasn't had a lot of information released yet so I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not it's suppose to have a Time Travel theme or something like that. So here's my dilemma... My current desktop will not be able to handle more expansions. I've already had to uninstall a couple expansions because my computer would lag really bad trying to r…

This is completely off topic btw. I've noticed two things which have happened to my laptop 1: A file of photo's have disappeared and I can't find them anywhere including the recycle bin 2: When I'm on the internet sometimes patches or the whole screen will go black and I need to close the internet and reopen it. I haven't renewed my antivirus too. Any idea of what's happening?

So had a great night tonight. Sat with my comp last night and I've known that the barings on one of my large fans has been going for a fair while now. Only last night it gets extremely loud to the extent I had enough of it and switched my computer off it was that loud. So figures I will change over the fan. This should be simple, only the case I bought (which was not a cheap case either) has the fan in a completely sealed unit. Basically my only option is to get a new case. I'm quite picky when it comes to putting my computers together these days. I used to suffer with one particular computer I built with heat, and therefore ever since then I have bought cases wit…

OH just purchased a new all-in-one Dell computer with Windows 8. He is an auto repair tech and his shop manuals are all on-line. He uses a cellular modem to connect to the internet because of our very rural location (it's the fastest way to connect to the internet here). The problem (s) are that neither the cellular modem nor the on-line manuals are compatible with Windows 8. I'm either going to have to give him MY laptop to use until both become compatible (how long might that be!) or he has to return his new computer and purchase a windows 7 machine online. Technology drives me crazy! We can upgrade the cellular modem to be compatible, but that isn't goi…

well as all of you know or don't know (either way) i will be traveling to the UK for husky camp in May!!!! I've decided i want a new camera before i go just so i can really take some awesome pictures and some embarrassing ones too. Really leaning towards the Nikon 1 J1 but don't know if i'd be better going with something else. I don't want a typical point and shoot and i don't know if i'm ready technology wise or financially to buy a full SLR. This looked like right in the middle and i thought it might be a good beginners camera. It's on sale at a local store with another lens and case for about $499 USD which is a really good price. Help? Suggestions?

So my computer has been on the fritz and I'm really in need of advice. I'm going to give a bit of background into the problem, so excuse me if I'm choppy. Starting in April (Hey look, when I joined the site! Wait... You didn't curse me did you?!? D:< ) We had just moved to California and had the computer shipped to us. Alas, Vince's mom kept the computer in her trunk for a month in the summer going back and forth to work, I believe this is what caused the problem. We would hook the computer up and the power light would turn on, and the fans would spin, but the monitor, mouse, and keyboard never responded to this connection. We took the computer down to Staples …
