    I can't think of a way to both address this and be polite about it, so I'm going to say nothing.

    Be a ****ing man and tell me what you had to say. I don't see why you'd need to see anything, but go right ahead.

    Clearly you have missed the fact the statement was intended to be one of humorous nature, through delicate use irony as I accompanied it with a screenshot taken on a SHIELD. Your remark was simply both rude and unnecessary, and furthermore it was sexist.

    I didn't find it humorous. I actually didn't understand what you were implying in the slightest, and asked you to to elaborate, in an admittedly rude manner, but I wasn't being serious. I was just reflecting the vibe of your own post. (Also, I curse. A lot. It's just how I talk. Try not to take offense to it.) it's also not sexist at all. When I say 'man' I mean human, as the human species is referred to simply as 'man' on occasion.

    I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I can assure you it wasn't of my intent. Now, do you mind telling me what that vague message means, as I do not understand it at all?

    The message was admit was rather faint. The NVidia SHIELD is akin to the Chromebook in that they often receive similar scrutiny for being strange, different or useless; obviously they take up different roles, but a simple way of going about this is to say they're both equally hipster. Although I'm not so certain about your interpretation of the vibe of my post, since it was intended as somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

    I don't pick up on that sort of thing a lot. I apologize, but I can't really help it.

    I have a Chromebook because it's cheep, and can surf the internet. I'd very much prefer a PC, but I'm pretty broke at the moment, and my laptop's motherboard died. A Chromebook can do enough for me to keep in contact with my friends and family with relative ease, and that's all I need it for.

    I have no issue with Chromebooks, as it stands, I actually prefer all the more obscure or less popular bits of technology.

    @This thread I'm not even sure where I got this from.

    We all know this is just to show off your wallpapers, unless people are actually curios on what files you have on your desktop, so since i have windows 8 and scrolling wallpapers here is my top 5 :D

    My main computer. A i3 quad core with 6GB RAM running ubuntu. Rather plain right now. Standard unity desktop just with a pony wallpaper.

    I dont use any of those icons. I use the bar along the bottom and that's it. I also have two other backgrounds it cycles through.

    Either you shrunk this image down, or you have - quite literally - the strangest screen resolution I have ever seen.

    I think Photobucket resizes any screencaps you try to upload. Why, I have no earthly clue, but I sure wish they'd knock it off.

    You can always try looking into an alternative like puush (which is intensely convenient) or Dropbox (which is intensely useful which already appear to have).
