Why not? Ears, nose, and throat are all connected. An ear infection causes major fluid buildup in your throat. Strep throat causes your nose to burn. If it can affect one, it seems obvious that it can affect the others as well.

There's no point to upgrade. The screens themselves are not at all improved. :P

What? :P NTFS format hard drives are standard in all but the Mac world. The 360 apparently only supports Fat32 which sucks because Fat32 doesn't support larger than roughly 4GB files.

...apparently the 360 does not support NTFS. Stupid Microsoft.

Also, for some reason I don't know, they moved Preview's sidebar to the left from the right, and there's no way to put it back. :| I don't dislike change or anything but... what's the point? D:


Consistency. Every other sidebar is on the left hand size, why was Preview on the right?

This sounds like something Kay would know how to word. I'll send her a text to check this thread. :P

Most times USB ports are wifi only, or only for service technicians.

Your best bet for files is to hook the drive to your computer and run a program called "transcode360". Look up instructions on all of that, but doing this, I haven't yet found a file I can't play.


I could not, for the life of me, get that to work when you suggested it.

I went to the apple store today to try it and didn't really like most of it. :/


What parts though? :P


Ben's likes interface design just like I do. He hates it all because they ruined the human interactivity parts of it, just like me. :P

I think it's quite possible then that my TV just doesn't play/handle my HDD..
Big shame, would have made things much simpler. But oh well. :(


Like I said, some TVs have that port simply for a Wifi adapter (that costs $150). The family Sony (not the one I have been talking about) is like that. 53" of greatness with an unusable USB port.

USB is usually accessible through other means. With my Sony, I have to hit the "Home" button on my remote and it pops up in there. With my Mitsubishi POS, it is in the options for some reason.

Also, just because it has a USB port does not mean it can be used with an external drive. This may just be a port for plugging in a USB WiFi adapter. That is how our Samsung Blu Ray player is.

You will be able to somewhat control videos. They don't like fast forwarding, generally, so it's best to just start from the beginning.

Biggest issue is codecs. Most TVs like this do not have very many supported video types. I know my TV can do some MP4 and DivX (but not XviD) AVI files. My blu-ray player (oddly enough, both are made by Sony) supports everything short of the MKV container and Apple video types (m4v)

Best bet is to plug it in and see what works.

Fredy: think about what you just said. :P I have been an Apple fanboy for years.

That said, they aren't doing that with Windows 8. 8 just has a touch friendly alternative interface, Aero is still the primary interface.


They are doing alot of work to make an operating system that can run either on a PC or a tablet, and also one that is familiar to windows phone users. I'd say they are doing it.


But they are not blurring it at all. The Metro interface runs as an alternative to Aero. You pick on. Metro is for tablets, Aero is for PCs. They are trying to consolidate, sure, but not nearly in the manner that Apple has.
