Windows 8
I realize this is a Windows 7 Newsgroup but I have not been able to
locate a Windows 8 Newsgroup. Maybe someone here can steer me in the right direction. I recently bought a new Hewlett Packard p7-1446s PC desktop computer and have been getting all my old client software installed onto it. Things are going very well and I do like Windows 8 in most respects. One problem I've been stumbling over is that if I go away and let this new computer drop into sleep mode it won't start back up when I move the mouse or click some keyboard keys. I've changed the mouse and keyboard to see if this would make any difference but it did no, in either case. Any suggestions, anyone? Or, where can I find a Windows 8 Newsgroup and look for information there? Thanks, Gordon |

Device manager, device properties, power options tab, allow this device to wake the computer from sleep. Ed |

Then, when you have a question, you call HP and their call center in Mumbai picks up the phone. Then, it's half an hour of "OK, now unplug the computer and plug it back in... OK, now reboot... OK, let's reinstall Windows". Instead of dealing with your question. At least here, we won't make you reinstall Windows. Paul |

You haven't looked at Android market share lately have you? from http://www.phonesreview.co.uk: "In the quarter ending in July 2012, Google?s Android share stood at 52.2% against Apple?s 33.4%" That's US market share. And http://www.businessinsider.com/andro...-share-2012-11 "New data from IDC says Android owned 75 percent of the smartphone market in the third quarter of 2012. Apple was a distant second with 14.9 percent of the market." That's global market share. So, where is is again that Apple is leading in sales because the public enjoys buying their stuff?

I think you'll find that it's simple minded people who have bought into the product hype. I can't comment on their computers, hence my comment, as I have never bought one of their over priced offerings but my sons have at times fallen for the mobile phone hype and they hated them. I think the Samsung advert I saw on YouTube sums Apple phones up perfectly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf5-Prx19ZM Mike -- Michael Swift We do not regard Englishmen as foreigners.

But still a company that has made a profit out of the sale and has a legal responsibility to provide support and warranty.

You might pay a little more but you'll have met the guy that sold or even built your machine and his livelihood and reputation is on the line. |

Cupertino California maybe? Apple is good stuff, but costs about twice as much as it competition of similar quality. But that higher price is precisely what attracts the market segment that buys Apple products. Marketers know that there is a significant segment of the market that wants its toys to be overpriced so that the unwashed 47% can't afford to buy them. The higher price testifies to the higher quality of the buyer, obviously. After all, you get what you pay for, right? Not. Well put, and matches my experience closely. -- Zaphod Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, ya know? - Gag Halfrunt |
