Grief! Do I Hate Windows 8

I couldn't hate Windows 8 quite possibly as I do today, I don't know what Microsoft were thinking when it came to the Windows 8 Operating System.

My previous laptop an Acer Laptop was easy to use with Windows Vista, could easily dual boot Ubuntu or any Linux Distro alongside Windows, with Windows 8 its more complicated and drawn out and doesn't help that I bought a crappy Chinese Lenovo Laptop, which for a few years has been ok, despite I cannot access the Bios menu.

I like to use both Windows and Linux, Linux for productivity and Windows mainly for gaming. To solve my problem all I need to do is access the bios menu by pressing F2, simple enough right?

Not so simple and all my problems have been caused by Secure Boot, when I installed Ubuntu as a dual boot, I could not access the Bios menu to turn off secure boot and thus once Ubuntu had installed it became the primary Operating System stopping me from booting Windows 8, now all I have is a laptop with a message that says "Access Denied"

Finding A Usable Client With Windows Phone

I've had my windows phone for a little over 3 months, its crashed so many times I cannot even count due to the phone having problems with my SD Card.

The main problem I've found is the Windows store is so sparse, you would think for a company that has an impressive market share of the OS marketplace, they would have more developers working on great apps for the device, alas there isn't.

The Facebook app is just about usable, but forget doing anything with pages, your better off on Android or iOS.

The question that I keep asking myself is why did I leave iOS, the only reason I can think of is because my iPhone was just to darn small for me to do anything productive on it, plus I don't like the hefty price tags for a fashion accessory.

How I miss my Galaxy Note, the first phone I could truly be productive on.

I Don't Play The Lottery, So Why Would I Want To Play The Dating Lottery?

The lottery, we've all played one at some point in our lives, right?

I've played the lottery here in the UK a couple of times, didn't really do anything for me and i lost interest, i find the same with the lottery that is dating, especially dating sites. Investing my money in a upgraded membership for no benefit is not my idea of a good investment, but many men and women do invest their money in looking for that someone special.

Just like a lottery the dating lottery is stacked against you from the start, you might get a couple of wins every now and then, but the odds are still stacked against you and that is because there is more men than women who are members of the dating sites.

So when your message has gone unanswered, it's usually because that particular female has been flooded with messages.

Dating sites might take your money and a lot of them are making some serious money, enough to advertise on the TV, Radio and Internet regularly.

What a dating site doesn't tell you is simple, you've got more chance of finding someone on Facebook than you have on an actual dating site.

Facebook connects people, you're not investing anything because Facebook is free, they do show ads on their site to monetize, but the people who are connecting with you are actually interested in you, so your odds of finding that special someone are somewhat shortened, at least the first thing is they've added you to their circle of friends which is a sign of interest.

Or in my case, some ladies who i know, won't add me to their Facebook but rather would stalk the hell out of my Facebook page, there's a different story behind female behavior and Facebook stalking.

Your risk of investing in Facebook is minimal and exposes you to smaller risk, than an actual dating site.

To sum up the whole dating site lottery, don't let your hard earned money cost you more than the benefit you will get out of it.
