| Scenes in the movie The Matrix are tinted based on where they take place: scenes within the Matrix itself are tinted slightly green (to represent the green monochromatic screens of early computers), scenes that occur in real life outside the Matrix are in regular, albeit drab colors, and the fight training scene between Morpheus and Neo (neither inside nor outside the Matrix) is tinted yellow. | |

| A Turnaround Document is a computer generated document (with OCR fonts used during the creation process) that can have extra information added to it physically by an individual, then be scanned back into the system to update an account, generate bills, etc. | |

| | You turn lights off when you leave the room, you turn off your computer when you’re not using it, but your power bill still looks like you leave the proverbial lights on all day and night. The culprit is likely sitting silently under your shiny HDTV set. | |

| | The drop shadows on applications in the Windows 10 preview are really big and suspiciously similar to the ones in OS X, and if they aren’t your speed, you can easily remove them. We actually think they look good, but since somebody out there won’t like them, here is how to disable them. | |
