windows defender has to be intentionally bad so that other antivirus don't get all in a huff over microsoft stealing their precious subscription money

it's fine if you don't click every dubious link and spam mail that comes your way though

Adobe has announced "Photoshop Design Space," a new interface for Photoshop geared toward professional app and Web designers. The company calls the new interface "a companion experience" to the normal Photoshop UI

oh and its not native. its built in HTML 5 :haw:

that was for the first xbone controller, how much did they spend on developing the second xbone controller that made them feel that $150 for a controller was reasonable

$150 is dumb for a controller but the different customization stuff looks like it could be useful like locking the trigger buttons to be shorter.

yes for windows but if you want to use it wirelessly you need a $30ish proprietary adapter that will only be compatible with windows 10, and the app to configure the controller will also be win10 exclusive. won't work on ps4 though unless you get one of those converter thingies

also, again, it's $150USD :captainpop:

you can just plugin your xbone controller and it works on windows. there is a cronus adapter so you can use almost any controller with any console. wiiu gamepad on a xbox 360(with the game screen on the wii u gamepad). mouse and keyboard on an xbone.
