Windows 8 Not Really a Hit with Everyone

Microsoft decided to get rid of the start button and all the problem started from there. Next they hid the parts of the software everyone needs to access all the time and now lots of new users are panicking. Of course the OS (operating system) looks a lot cleaner now but Windows has just become an Apple clone in a way. You can still pin apps to a taskbar but the nested folders are just hidden behind everything else now.
Microsoft added support for automatically rotating pictures finally though. They had to do something to make it seem more useful than before lol.
The option to play DVDs was also removed and now that is an option you have to pay for.
What happened to the Apple iPad Mini?

The Apple iPad Mini has just been released but it is missing the retina display. It also has a slower processor than the new 4th generation full-sized iPad.
The decision was made to lower the price but it still ended up being over $300 which upset shareholders. The black faceplate can only be found on the anodized version as well. Pity the backs scratch up pretty easily.
Apple factories having trouble making the new iPhone 5 and iPod Touch

Unfortunately, the Apple stores still don’t have stock of the new iPhone 5 or iPod Touch and customers are starting to go crazy over here in Japan. Even the sales reps have no idea what’s going on this time at the factories. They have just been told to say “Sorry, I don’t know when anything will be available.”
*The new iPod Touch has the same 4-inch screen as the iPhone 5 but is being sold at a much lower price mainly due to the dual core processor, the fact it’s not a phone and the lower spec touch sensor/panel (which at times just doesn’t recognize that it has been touched). The iPod Touch is also missing the ambient light sensor seen in previous models and the microphone from the new earbuds which can be found on the iPhone 5. Also a GPS chip. You can download maps but without the GPS chip you will just have to guess where you are for now ;)

I was just wondering if there was a way to open up Thunderbird, but have all the folders collapsed. It would be nice to open up Thunderbird without having all my accounts showing.
CS6 Master Collection is Broken

Adobe CS6 Master Collection Doesn’t Work in Microsoft Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit)
Everyone was wondering why Adobe decided to reduce its prices by 15% and this is one reason why: The Adobe CS6 Master Collection doesn’t install properly in Microsoft Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit)! Of course there will be a downloadable update that you have to pay for soon but it’s just annoying having software that can’t be installed every time a new version of Windows comes out. I’ve only has this type of trouble with Adobe software so far… Why can’t it just include a regular installer?
Photoshop CS6 sometimes installs but an error message comes up when trying to install the CS6 Master Collection in Windows 8. Adobe Acrobat, Dreamweaver and Photoshop can kind of be installed at the moment. The rest of the software installation just gets denied.
*Adobe still hasn’t fixed the line drawing/scroll bug in Illustrator CS6 as well. Even though they have known about it since CS3 came out.
Here is the Adobe CS6 Master Collection installation error log, just in case you wanna have a look.
Exit Code: 6

The Google Chrome team is still trying to find a bug that has been in Chrome for over 6 months now.

Google Chrome has had an annoying little bug for over six months now and the Google team is still trying to find it. Let’s hope they catch it soon.
When it comes to bug fixing the Google team seems on top of everything but this time there seems to be a bug that perplexes the Google team (a bookmark bar bug). Try moving a bookmark in the bookmark bar and in a second or so it’s back to where it came from… This bug doesn’t exist in the bookmark manager so you would think it would be easy to fix but the coding for the bar is different and this little bug is good at hiding.
Maybe Petr Mitrichev the Russian super programmer could help out with this one ^^
If you have similar problems send in a report through Chrome and let’s hope the Google team finds an answer soon.
Click on the spanner icon at the top right of Google Chrome > Tools > Report an issue…

Dell IPS LED Monitor – U2713HM 2560×1440 Over 1 billion colors
Dell is finally updating its 27 (U2713HM) and 30 inch (U3013M) monitors with new LED back lights soon. The older ones were energy monsters that could heat your room up if you didn’t have a heater. There isn’t a release date yet but it won’t be long until they are on the shelves.
Dell has decided to sell the 2 year old power hungry monitors in Japan and label them as new products even though there isn’t enough energy to fully power most homes up here. I hope they replace the back lights in the older monitors as soon as possible.
Google Chrome is broken

There are too many extension buttons showing. Can’t there be an auto hide and mouse over to show them? I know I can hide them one by one but that isn’t useful and doesn’t solve the problem. The icons stop the window being able to be made small.
Also fix the bookmark manager please. I think my sync date is corrupt. The bookmarks don’t move properly. Or maybe the problem is bigger. Is Chrome broken?
It is really difficult to organize bookmarks in Chrome. Every time we move something a bit the whole tree closes.
