Jan-24-13    perfidious: <WannaBe> Hopeless optimist that I am, still think there is a chance, but now Howard is kvetching. Hoped he had left that behind in Orlando. Jan-24-13    WannaBe: Wheeeee!!!

Reaction: Let's make football have the same rule as Pro Bowl!! http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap... Jan-28-13    playground player: <WannaBe> If he throws a football like he throws a baseball, no wonder he doesn't like the game. Jan-29-13    WannaBe: Houston beat Utah in Salt Lake City by a score of 125-80(!!!???) If my math is right, that is like, as if, fourteen-gazillion-billion-trillion points, on the road, in one of the toughest (or was) arena in the league!!

Jan-31-13    WannaBe: Dell XPS 12 convertible w/ Win8 : http://configure.us.dell.com/dellst... So far, thumbs down, camera is .9M and you can only take a pic by pressing the left mouse button (on pad) or I'm not still able to figure out a way to take a picture any other way... (Because there is no second camera on the other side of the display. Not like a cell phone or iPad where the camera is on the back side.) Not a big fan of Metro, can't easily get to WindowsUpdate screen, no 'Start' icon (but everyone have already written about this.) Since it's considered an UltraBook, 2 USB 3.0 1 Mini-USB no DVD-Rom drive, Wireless Adapter only no LAN connector (but you can buy an external USB one relatively cheap...) Will post more as I evaluate this product and Win8. Feb-01-13    WannaBe: Double tapping the screen will snap a picture, I guess that is the same as left click on the mouse pad. Trying to install Java JRE, very interesting... Feb-01-13    WannaBe: Remote Desktop, very annoying, if I activate a Remote Desktop connection from tile, it works fine, but if I want to open up another connection, it goes/brings up the one I already opened. Grrrrrrrr..... Feb-01-13    WannaBe: Right click on the (1st) opened connection (while minimized) will bring up the option to open another Remote Desktop. Which makes it kinda hard to do when you are in tablet mode, you are suppose to press and hold to simulate a right click. But so far, its touch and go, sometimes it works, and other times it just sits there and nothing happens. Feb-01-13    WannaBe: ✈⛆⛇ Okay, I think the Unicode/HTML puzzle is 'solved', using IE10, I am able to see a heck of a lot more pictures... Feb-01-13    WannaBe: 𝄞 𝄟 Treble clef is still a box in Win8/IE10... Need to download the correct font. =( Feb-01-13    WannaBe: 👍 Thumbs up seems to work, 128077 with &# in front of it and semi-colon after it. 👎 down is 128078 Feb-01-13    WannaBe: Stupid screen seems to dim and brighten on its own... No idea why, I'd be reading articles online, scrollin' up and down, (mouse wheel or arrow key...) opening new tabs and closing tabs after reading, boom. Screen goes dim. Then it would 'wake up' and go back to normal brightness. Have my power setting: 1. Plugged in, dim after 10 min, sleep after 15 min. 2. On battery, dim after 2 min, sleep after 10 min. Auto-lock out/screen saver after 5 min. But I'm using the dang thing, it shouldn't dim!! Grrrrr...
