I had windows 8 ( Single Language pack ) pre-installed in my laptop. I purchased windows 8 pro key using Add Features link. Since, I cannot use the key for fresh installation, i planned to return the product and contacted Microsoft India Customer care. I was asked to sign eLOD for the same. I received a mail on the same. When I followed the link and provided the order details, I was thrown error "Unable to view Order summary page". But, I was able to see the page for another order for which return has not been requested. Since I am not able to view Order summary page only for a return requested product, i think it is a cheat by Windows. Continue reading...

I recently built a computer. I tried to install windows with a cd that I purchased with the parts for the computer. Everything was working out well until it froze while it was installing windows. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I waited a couple hours to see if it would unfreeze and continue installing. It was still frozen on the same spot so I turned off the computer and tried to install again. After the Windows logo appeared and said "Start windows", a black screen appeared with only my cursor showing. I can move the cursor with my mouse but it still doesn't work. I really need the computer to start working ASAP. Please if you know the solution to this, plea…

When you bank online, you usually make transfers by entering a sort code and account number. And it's rather easy to make a mistake in one of those numbers. If the result corresponds to an actual account, your money will go into that account. But what happens then? Is there any way of getting the money back? Your bank will, at your request, contact the recipient's bank and they will contact the recipient and explain to him that the money was paid to him in error and that he should return it. If he refuses to do so, neither your bank nor the recipient's bank (if different) are in any way responsible for what has happened. They merely followed your instructions. As lo…

X Distro looks pretty sleek, probably has a future to it. I don't know about StratOS. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. Reminds me of iMagicOS, kind of. Anyone know whatever happened to Workbench and LapisLinux? Too bad OzOs was discontinued. Continue reading...

Hello, and good day or whatever time it is where you currently are. :) I'm 15 years old, Linux user for 4 years (my first distro was Ubuntu 10.04) and I've loved every moment. Switching to Linux was the last resort on my fight against malware I got my PC infected with. Thinking about it now, I'm so glad for that. I've tried too many different distros, but I've been in love with Arch for some time now. My other hobbies include, well... programming (though I'm no expert), which I started few years ago but lost my interest in it pretty quickly, but I've recently been interested in it again. And I also like to watch movies and TV series. Sometimes I go running. I'm also…

WWDC is set to kick off June 2-6, in San Francisco but the Moscone Center is already getting decked out for the party. As captured by Business Insider's Jay Yarrow, the WWDC 2014 banners have gone up and unsurprisingly, so has an iOS 8 banner. As expected, the banners don't give away much of anything really aside from using the oceanic background most folks are familiar with and it has an 8 on alluding to iOS 8. But, new things are exciting and all will be revealed soon enough! Continue reading...
