Q. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, and I have no idea how to put movies on it. I have some downloaded, which I could see if you couldn't put itunes movies on it, but what about digital copies and such that come with blu rays? Anyone?
A. first, you need a good player which will support a variety of formats (including bluray), so in google play, download "MX player", after downloading it will ask for some codec pack which will redirect back to google play: download it, next, you need a USB cable and connect it to your computer, once you have access to the device, copy your movies you've got and put them anywhere on your Android device. disconnect it, go into "MX player", click the "reload" icon and the movies will appear. HOWEVER, immediately after you choose a movie in the top right corner it says: H/W click it, and choose S/W (software decoder) if you don't do this then most of the movies won't work.
if you don't have a USB cable then you need to download "airdroid" from google play to transfer files "wirelessly", and it's easy to use just follow the instructions.

How could they not put an X or Close button on Windows 8 apps?
Q. It's just unfreaking believable how the designers of Windows 8 did NOT put any X or Close button on apps/programs that open up! I have to sit there and hit ALT - Tab just to get back to windows. There must be something up , maybe it's a world wide conspiracy to make people go crazy or something because something that basic and logical could not just have been left out on accident. Someone please help me with the logic of this!
A. alt F4 will close apps and logic is simple
microsoft has domain pretty much over the home desktop and laptop market and has done for ages how ever there no longer the most popular operating system if you count *dramatic music* mobile devices such as tablets mobile phones pda's etc and this seems to be where the markets heading for example laptop and deskop sales going down year by year tablet and mobile phone sales going up year by year so microsoft has desided to make a OS and compete in the portable market along with there tablets and phones etc (enter windows 8) which is basic windows 7 with few minor tweeks to kernel and genric library modules and new UI skin but really and truly not hugely different and im not the only person that feels this quite a few others have stated similar findings. i have actually debugged half the rc2 beta and i can tell you there not a huge deal of difference based on windows 7 with latest service pack and updated .net frameworks we are talking minimal to be honest a couple 100mb patch if that
ooo microsoft admits it

"Windows 7, only better
Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7, but it�s been improved on all fronts. You can install Windows 8 on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7."
i know that dont say it exactly but you can see its really is just saying windows 7 updated
so now you know windows 8 is not designed really with laptops and desktop pc's in mind imo and fact all adverts on tv for it are on tablets and phones aint seen 1 with someone sitting in front of a desktop yet
now you know that thinkg have you ever seen a x button on a android app or iphone app ? no of course not mobile devices have back buttons or home buttons
other examples (based on rc2 beta) the new start button feature looks brilliant works great until u got on a pc wih a 2tgb hard drive start to fill it with apps and programs like 800gb of stuff and that start button even on OC i7 with 8gb ddr3 2200mhz takes about 3 mins to load wonder if they fixed that (probs have was a bad idea trying to get shortcuts to half the os rather just the gagets that dashboard was designed for) but on a tablet with only 16gb or 32gb of storage probs works instantly
there is ofcourse the other argument that lot of people dont know how to use a pc envrioment but know how to use windows 8 since they already have a tablet or a smart phone
alot of other os's and distro's have gone this way for example unity on ubuntu (would point out though that since this they have lost positions in best desktop and laptop distro to linux mint and other distros) gives it a very app feel which for new users to linuxs and pc's is great but most desktop and laptop users dont want flashy icons they want a stable nice desktop... and of course CHROME os by google
i think personally the style of them are good for the average consumer by which i mean people just want something that works don't want to play games or atleast not high resources games just want to watch you tube write emails listen to a few mp3's and share things on facebook etc all low resource things web browser , media player sort thing you can have 3 instance open of each and on a decent pc your not using even half the ram and processing power available average computer these days id say has 4gb ram + paging file and quad core processor at about 2.5ghz (average) so whats 2-3 web browser running in background a media player and couple of explorer tabs ur not even hitting 30% of that ram and processor power) so dont matter about closing things and freeing up resources since ur not even using half of what the computer has and all taking care of at shut-down when just clears lot
(not saying i agree with it but think for average user it aint going to be a issue + garbage collection got a lot better and memory leaks handled quite well since 7)
for the more intense user windows 8 is not the way to go FULL STOP go back to 7 or switch to Linux ( and never pay a penny again) i did about 5 years ago and never looked back and don't believe that rubbish that nothing will work Linux has alternative for pretty much every thing and if there isnt 1 using wine can usually get the windows version to work any way.
p.s i am slightly bias since i think windows 7 was only os they got rite since windows 2000 every other 1 for example xp had 550mb of services packs before it was stable bare in mind original xp was only 800mb uncompressed to begin with they basicly had to patch almost 3/4 of the original size of the os to get it to work and be stable
