I recently set up an HP Stream 2-in-1 computer running Windows 8.1. Somehow, while setting the alarms, I managed to set an alarm that goes off at 3:19 pm (I did not intentionally set it; this thing seems to have an extraordinarily-sensitive trackpad that is sometimes activated by the heat from...

I have just bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 and I am confused and underwhelmed by 8.1. My main gripe is the totally uncontrollable start Screen. OK I can sort apps into groups and name the groups so that's a start. After getting apps into different groups I now set about sorting them...

For decades science fiction movies have been imagining the future as one where humans talk to machines just as naturally as they speak to family and friends. In reality, however, using voice to interact with machines has been maddeningly frustrating, with Siri often mistaking “open up my email”...

I have windows 8.1 installed on my pc. I have got to say this is is the most nerve racking, hair pulling out recovery system by far. It has crashed and trying to get it to recover is more trouble than worth. Now that I have somewhat, mind you after a week of trying everything, even by their...
