Resource efficient? again what the are u talking about? win 7 is the best Microsoft project,after win xp,vista was a flop, and win 8 well brought nothin that we didnt expect,it was predictable

Stop letting nostalgia guide your perception, Windows 8 is miles ahead of 7 performance wise, people just don't like it because of the UI change and that's just ridiculous because apart from the metro start page it's lovely.
Boot time is better in Windows 8, memory management is better, game performance is even better.
You've not tried it yourself, you just read opinions online and decided that it was bad.

Greatzeus:
What the hell r u saying? he shd upgrade to 8.1\10? r u kidding me? the minimum ram requirement for win 7 is 2gb,no way that laptop comes with win 7, im sure it comes with xp\vista but was upgraded to win 7. If u install win 8 on it it'll become useless,he wont enjoy it again,it will be worse. My advice reinstall win xp and it will stop hanging.

I spoke from experience, i installed Windows 8 on our ancient home tower pc and it ran like new.

Warning: the image below is enough to make the hardiest stomach turn - especially as this guy lasted 3 months in this state.

What you’re seeing is the wasted body of 35 year old Hiroshi Ouchi, who had suffered a terrible accident at the uranium reprocessing facility in Tokaimura, northeast of Tokyo where he had worked, on 30 September 1999. The cause of the accident was the depositing of a uranyl nitrate solution, which contained roughly 16.6kg of uranium, into a precipitation tank, exceeding its critical mass. Three workers were exposed to incredible amounts of the most powerful type of radiation in the form of neutron beams.

The micro-second those beams shot through his body, Ouchi was a dead man. The radiation completely destroyed the chromosomes in his body.
According to a book written by NHK-TV called A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness, when arriving at the University of Tokyo Hospital Emergency Room, Mr Ouchi appeared relatively well for someone that had just been subjected to mind blowing levels of radiation, and was even able to converse with doctors. That is, until his skin started falling off.

As the radiation in his body began to break down the chromosomes within his cells, Ouchi’s condition worsened. And then some.
Ouchi was kept alive over a period of 3 months as his skin blackened and blistered and began to sluice off his body. His internal organs failed and he lost a jaw-dropping 20 litres of bodily fluids a day. I'm happy to say, he was kept in a medical coma for most of this time.

Every aspect of his condition was constantly monitored by a round the clock team of doctors, nurses and specialists. Treatments used in an attempt to improve his condition were stem cell transplants, skin grafts (which seems like it may have been pretty redundant) and massive blood transfusions.
Despite doctors lack of knowledge in treating patients like Ouchi, it was clear from the dosage he had been subjected to he would never survive.

As previously mentioned, he was kept alive for 83 days as doctors tried different methods to improve his condition.

Seriously man, respect yourself.

Now this is hilarious.

A young girl playfully beat her chest at a silverback gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. Moments later, the gorilla charged, smashed into the window, and cracked the glass enclosure. The scare tactic effectively did as planned, frightening everyone in the vicinity away.

However, what the video emphasizes more than anything is how different forms of communication among animals can go awry—and how that can get us into trouble when they are counter-intuitive to what we expect. What might be friendly to us, may actually be threatening to them.

Body language is a powerful tool, especially when communicating (accidentally or on purpose) with another animal. For example, eye contact and chest-beating establishes dominance among gorillas, but showing off your pearly whites can get a bit more tricky. If you smile without showing teeth, you could be displaying playful behavior. "[During play, gorillas] open their mouths and cover their teeth as if to say, 'I could bite you but I'm not going to,’” researcher Bridget Waller told BBC Nature.

However, the teeth bared in a grin may actually be a form of submission or appeasement. "It's a greeting; a subordinate display,” said Waller. In Africa, western lowland gorillas have another smile that is a mix between the two—their top teeth are bared, but the bottom ones are not. It's possible this maintains play by reducing any uncertainty during long bouts of good-natured fighting.

“Many primate species also show their teeth when they scream,” Waller told Wired . “These expressions tend to look different to the expressions I studied in gorillas, as the upper and lower teeth are both exposed, and the mouth widely open.” These expression are often more tense, vocal and indicate aggression.

For Kijito—the 375-pound male gorilla—it may have just been a matter of mixed signals. What the girl found funny, the gorilla deemed aggressive. Officials at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo said that no one was in danger, even when the pane of glass cracked.

“Shortly before this, we were telling the kids [the gorillas] could not break [the glass],” said Kevin Cave, the father in the video, to Omaha World-Herald. “They will never believe us again.”

Ok, I was using Windows 8.1 and it also did the same thing daz why I removed and put Windows 7

Ok

We learned a lot about Pluto from NASA’s New Horizons mission this month. And one important detail that the spacecraft sent back was a more accurate measurement of the dwarf planet: It is 2,370 kilometers (1,473 miles) in diameter.

But how can we put that size in perspective?

A few suggestions, Upgrade to Windows 8.1 or wait for Windows 10 but upgrade all the same then definitely increase your ram of possible.

But upgrade they're much faster and resource efficient than Windows 7

They're innovations not inventions.

Check Konga or something, even if you don't buy from them at least you'll get an idea of the phones your money can buy.

gigabytes:
Windows check for updates between 17 hours to 22 hours. I have reduced it to one hour. So that i can get my updates quickly.

Do you know how tunnel Windows Update through a proxy on Windows 8.1?

I'm going to wait for the Pro version so I'll be able to turn off automatic updates.

Andy Greenberg was driving his car in St. Louis when he lost control of his vehicle. The air conditioning, the radio and windshield wipers all suddenly turned on, then the engine cut off. Greenberg tried to take back control of the car, but he couldn’t. It had been hacked.

Yes, you can now add cars to the ever increasing list of things that can be hacked. Greenberg is a senior writer for Wired and he had asked two security researchers – Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek – to show him how vulnerable cars are to remote hacking. So, they did just that. The tricks were at first small: The hackers sent a picture to his dashboard's digital display. Soon after, they cut his brakes. No wonder the experiment had quickly “ceased to be fun” for Greenberg. The car eventually ended up in a ditch.

The hacking technique is described as “a zero-day exploit.” Security experts were able to target the Jeep Cherokee that Greenberg was driving and get wireless control of the vehicle – all from the comfort of their own home. Miller and Valasek were able to hack the car through its Uconnect infotainment system and run their own code. And herein lies the problem with Internet-connected entertainment systems like Uconnect, which are installed on dashboards to improve usability and entertainment.

Experiments like these raise security questions on the newer generation of cars that are increasingly connected to the Internet. Even the hackers were surprised by their own ability to remotely control these cars.

“When I saw we could do it anywhere, over the Internet, I freaked out,” Valasek told Wired .

Cyber security experts are now urging owners of Fiat Chrysler cars to update their systems. “There are hundreds of thousands of cars that are vulnerable on the road right now,” Miller told Reuters .

Fiat Chrysler have issued an update to fix the most serious security issues highlighted by Miller and Valasek. “Similar to a smartphone or tablet, vehicle software can require updates for improved security protection to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems,” the company said, according to Reuters .

Miller and Valasek suggest 471,000 vehicles are vulnerable to a similar attack. The security researchers will present their paper at the Def Con security conference next month. Miller and Valasek hope these experiments will pressure manufacturers to become aware and respond quickly to these security vulnerabilities.

A mountain biker in Mexico suffered an injury after falling off his bike and it’s definitely not your typical biking injury.

The 40-year-old man fell off his bike while off-road, impaling his neck on a tree branch. The man very wisely chose not to attempt to remove the branch from his neck but instead drove 32 kilometers (20 miles) to the nearest hospital.

Doctors say the man is very lucky to have not suffered greater harm. A CT scan (below) revealed that the branch had only penetrated his neck.

https://i.imgur.com/PpkOwOx.jpg

At only about 1.6 centimeters (0.6 inches) into his neck, there was no serious injury, but it could have damaged the man’s airway, a major blood vessel or a nerve, said Dr. Lev Deriy, an assistant professor and anesthesiologist at the University of New Mexico, where the injured man was treated.

"The neck contains a lot of very important, vital structures," Deriy told Live Science. The man was "lucky not to damage anything."

By not removing the branch, the man avoided further injury or excessive bleeding, Deriy explains.

After surgeons successfully removed the branch and sutured the man’s neck wound, Deriy said that he was released from the hospital and has had no further complications.

I don't agree with the be a pack wolf part, some of the greatest scientists are introverts, true scientists actually don't care about the physical beauty of a device, what's important is functionality, the real reason for building a pretty device is to garner interest from the general public so you can get funding it's just marketing and also most of the other points aren't things you can just teach yourself.
