    [Laptop] Super High End Laptop to last 3-5y.

    If you want to look at it that way it's fine. It's definitely not the best bang for your buck. They keyboard feels nicer, the hinges are more sturdy, etc. I work at a place where we sell MSI gaming laptops, ASUS ROG series, and the Alienware. I wouldn't trade my Alienware in for anything...

    With Xbox One, Microsoft Policy on Indies Remain Unchanged: No Self-Publishing

    Is Microsoft trying to get everyone to stop using their stuff? First Windows 8, then Office 2013, and now this? I hope it's successful because I am a long time Xbox fan (over 10 years on Live). The problem is I feel like everything I loved about Microsoft keeps getting taking away as they add...
