You would be safer using malwarebytes to scan anyways.

IFA is about to start and it's time for another hardware carnival of stupid.
Not only are we getting silly clown phones like the Note II, but LG showed their 21:9 PC monitor.
Because 16:9 in computing wasn't bad enough.
The Start Screen should look great on it.

And Note II? It might be huge, but I can tell you my father (and many older folk) will love that monster

Yeah, no.
LG's 29" monitor has a resolution of 2560x1080.
Dell released this in 2007.
Dell 3007 WFP-HC, 30", 2560x1600.
And we had similar monitors from HP and Apple around that time.
So, how is LG's monstrosity better again?
I was hoping it had a 1080p screen like that LG showed many months ago, but the rumors have it at only 720p, and the original was 1280x800 -___________-

Then it's pixel density problem, not the ratio. There's nothing wrong with that ratio....your complain is about not enough pixels in width.Yeah, no.

The ratio is the problem for me. Honestly on as far as productivity goes the more height the better. Also it's not wide enough to satisfy the need for 2 monitors.

My problem is that we get monitors with a lower resolution than we had 5 years ago. Technology is supposed to get better with time, not worse. The terrible aspect radio only adds to that. In 2001, IBM introduced the T220 with a resolution of 3840×2400. That was over 10 years ago. There's no reason we shouldn't have this in the desktop space.

Apps in general should look weird on it. Reminds me of the "fullscreen" images of Windows Phone apps.
Really, including an anti-virus program by default probably already covers that.
Maybe this might help?
Edit: I do think it's kind of silly to elevate Defender to the same functions as MSE and not retain such a basic feature.

I'd buy it. Wouldn't be my main monitor mind you but it be great for some gaming and for video editing.

Sounds like a good monitor for multitasking...
This is just another reason to only consider the surface going forward.... you know the other oem's are itching to screw things up too.

has calmed down a bit.
The entire time I used windows 8 in desktop mode I was wishing for the start menu. Never got used to not having it.
yeah, but an icon widget is not the answer.

does anyone know how i can get my macbook trackpad running on this? i installed the drivers that came with bootcamp but i don't really like them that much. there is program out there trackpad++ which seems awesome but it isn't available yet on windows 8, shame. i was ready to move to win8 completely but the trackpad is just so awesome on OSX.

Wow. Was Samsung one of the OEMs that bitched about the surface?
Also that trackpad++ puts windows into a test mode. I tried Windows 8 but had to give it up because of the lousy trackpad driver.

Toshiba has a 21:9 notebook that's just as stupid:
1792x768 resolution, which means you still got to scroll like crazy on websites.

Oh wow, is that on a floating dock? Instead of on a taskbar?
Does it even come up when pressing the window key?
Seems like such an unneeded hassle if it doesn't.

yes to floating dock, unsure but i'd say no on the window key question. So yes, useless

I don't think Samsung would get the Windows 8 certificate, if they'd change the Windows key behavior.

Well that pretty much destroyed the two useful things about the start menu.
I find docks on windows so useless, especially seeing that the taskbar is already so good.

It's a start menu that you start from a dock that sits on top of the task bar.

Reminds me of Microsoft not letting HTC into the first round of Windows RT devices.
Not sure. If it's not on the bottom left it doesn't count I guess.

It's a feature that quite a number of people want back, but the way samsung does it is going to be really clunky and kinda useless. First, it's on a floating dock, which diminishes one of the things good about the start menu in that it's on the taskbar, so it's always accessible even when you go fullscreen. If you want to keep it always present you have to really reduce the screen real estate for your full screen windows. Secondly, you probably can't bring it up with the windows key, so that further diminishes how accessible it is.
I guess it's nice for people who want a start menu if they can settle for a really bad version of it.
Also fuck software bloat. That's why I don't buy stuff from OEMs if I can help it, as far as windows goes.
right click, close widget?

I think I stepped into that "party" many years ago and immediately went out and closed the door behind me.
or....just uninstall their software.
