Headphone experts please come here So I'm planning to buy a pair of earbuds under $40 (CAD). Hopefully. NOTE: I'm not gonna buy on-ear headphones because it presses my hair. I think someone had actually asked me why my hair looks so flat and square. It's because of the on-ear headphones. Besides the hair problem, I'm broke so I'll be needing a pair of cheap but decent in-ear headphones with deep bass. So please recommend me some cheap in-ear headphones. My very first pair of in-ear headphones (that didn't come with the mp3 player and such) was and I think it was decent though I really don't remember at all. But the right headphone broke after about 2-6 months. I bragged my dad to buy me another one so he did. I think I got a pair of Philips

Chinese text sometimes appear as boxes and sometimes doesnt Just today, I got the problem once again. I've restarted the computer for several times (about 3 times) today and the Chinese script still appear as boxes. This doesn't happen when I go on the internet on Chrome. This doesn't happen with Korean, Thai, etc. (I've tested it), either. This did not, I repeat DID NOT, happen yesterday. But it had certainly happened numerous times before yesterday. But today, I finally got sick and tired of it and decided to make a thread about it. Does anyone know the solution to this issue?

Is there a software that allows optional symbol hotkeys? I use a PC laptop. One hotkey I remember is Alt 0233 (Num Pad), which will get you the 'e' with the acute accent. I also remember Alt 0153, which gets you the trademark symbol. But I always find myself using many other symbols like stars, Greek symbols, yin yang, etc. and I want to set them in hotkey form without remembering Alt codes that are up to four numbers. So is there any method to put them in a shorter and more memorable hotkey? Or is it already available in Windows?

I could not install any Windows apps It says that the Windows Firewall Service is not running. The problem is that I cannot get it running. I tried "Use recommended settings" and it gave me an error message that says "Windows firewall cant change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070422." I forgot the first error code before I downloaded a registration entry for BFE, BITS, and a bunch of other crap meant for Widows 7 and installed it. My computer is Windows 8 but I was frustrated so I installed it right away. Help my guys. I tried starting Windows Firewall in Services and I got this error message: I've wasted hours trying to fix this and suddenly realized that I already had this problem months ago but didn't do anyth
