Microsoft Account Cluster*uckage

Guess what :) No chat support or email support available for MS accounts. Un-f*****g-believable. Anyway digging through a few support forums on the MS site, I see I am not the only one, there are others too in the last couple of days. Sigh, guess it will only be a month or so before they notice

Microsoft Account Cluster*uckage

Thanks, might try that. Now been in contact with MS support and OF COURSE they do not support Microsoft Accounts over the phone. INSANE! All I have been sent is the same stupid password reset links that don't work because the system thinks there is no account under that name.

Microsoft Account Cluster*uckage

Not had time to contact MS yet, been kinda hoping it would be a 24 hour thing until some 'job' ran to clean up accounts or something. But still the same this morning. All i wanted to do was unify things a bit, log in with MY email address and have access to all my services. (instead of having...

Microsoft Account Cluster*uckage

Being brave I installed Windows 8 against all my better judgement, but actually I quite like it! And in itself its not a problem. What is a problem is trying to get all my various MS services under one place as it were. For example I have several MS accounts (due to moving house and being FORCED...

Need a NAS Solution

I can't say enough good things about Synology - their stuff is fanstastic. For your scenario, absolutely look into the DS212J + Wireless dongle. Whilst I agree that wireless sucks for a NAS, at least synology have one you can buy for it if you are determined to go that route. With two disks...

Help getting movies from pc on ipad 3??

You sure about the battery life thing? I can watch an hour long 1080 MKV and battery goes down by about 5% - 9% You think the GPU sucks less power than the CPU? I would imagine the difference would be fairly minimal compared to the drain from the screen for example. I have watched 9 hours...

Official Battlefield 3 Thread

I cant believe anyone bought this game for single player. The single player disk hasn't left it's sleeve yet and most likely never will. Battlefield (and CoD for that matter) have never ever been good single player games and never will. I'm playing multiplayer only on the 360 and have had...

Free Apps on the OSX App Store? Does anyone actually use this?
