Same for me. I remember back in the old days of Team Fortress and then Counter-Strike when Steam was useless. It would crash all the time and you were better off not using it. 
That being said, I haven't had any problems with it for several years. I think its one of the best things to ever happen to PC gaming.

Agreed entirely.
Steam is just solid, and has been for years.

My guess is "The Big Picture" and SteamOS are very different on the back end. The interfaces are most likely very similar, but that is for product line consistency. I opened up "TBP" a couple times on my computer, and it's essentially just a Steam-powered Metro interface.
I didn't find it particularly useful and now I just use the standard interface. That being said, I didn't give it much of a chance because, at the time, I was wanting to do something very specific that I knew exactly how to do with the normal interface. I might open up "The Big Picture" again tonight and do some exploratory research. I'll try to remember to report my findings tomorrow...

Why does this guy scream "AWESOME" quite often in his kitchen? 
Just reminds me of the kids that try to emulate stylish weather reporters in TV channels. All gestures, misplaced. But the difference, they look very cute.

It would be awesome if it cooked it for him....but it doesn't.

With the extravagant introduction he started with, I thought a C-3PO like thing would fall down from the chimney and start cooking for him in the kitchen. That would have been really "AWESOME". Not just for a piece of speech-recognition code.

Movie Quote Of The Day
One of my favorite scenes in movie history.
So poetic, so honest 
If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human f***ing beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian sh*t! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?
But which from which movie is it?

I used to have one of those, but it was very heavy and somewhat inflexible, and much too cold. Good at keeping the wind out, though.

Seriously when are you going to do the Money Pit?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry but it has been already done.

Yeah, but that was UNOFFICIAL !

|

That was done by the Original G. It was not the real MQOTD.
|
|
|
|
|
whenever on a random day some random number reaches a random location in my brain triggering a random picking of the Money Pit as source for a random MQOTD.
|
|
|
|
|
But it is a shame that the Greatest Movie of All time has not been in the MQOTD. Your quiz is devalued because of it.

Says you...

Yeah. Whose else opinion counts?

Even her opinion matters more than someone who thinks "The Money Pit" is the greatest movie ever made...

I'm sorry, but I think that your lanolin habit has skewed your thought process - that thing would agree about The Money Pit, adding that Miley Cyrus is misunderstood and Paris Hilton a virgin!

I have just reported you for believing The Money Pit isn't the greatest Movie of all time.
