Valve has announced a major update to their Steam platform entitled Big Picture that allows a more TV friendly version of Steam.
The new Big Picture update allows users to change the interface of Steam in a click of a button. This allows a better user interface optimized for your television set. Big Picture was also made with the controller in mind and was designed around that. Don’t fret just yet, as there is still your standard mouse and keyboard controls as well.
Check out a quick look into the awesomeness of Big Picture:

“PC gaming continues to be the leading edge of entertainment, whether it’s social gaming, MMOs, graphics hardware, free-to-play, or competitive gaming,” said Gabe Newell, president of Valve. “With Big Picture for Steam, we are trying to do our part to give customers and developers what they want – their games, everywhere, optimized for the environment in which they are playing.”
Big Picture has everything you know and love from Steam, including the Steam Store, Steam Community and your Steam Library. There is also a brand new web browser designed for your TV and controller.

Hi guys, I decided to purchase Football Manger 2012 via Steam. Since I have 2 computers, I would like to know if I download it on 1 computer, do I need to redownload in order to play on another computer?
(My broadband is paid by quota, that means download twice will cost more.)
Thank.
I recently got a beta fish for my birthday and he keeps making these bubbles that float and stay at the top. They just stay there until I clean the tank, and even after I do that he goes and makes more of them. Why does he keep doing that?
My younger sister has a beta fish which is a MALE, or at least we think. She thinks that the fish is pregnant since she saw these bubbles near the fish or in the tank somewhere. Is it possible? Maybe she came home with a FEMALE beta??
Well I’m a BETA reader on fanfiction but I’m horrible at editing my own story. Could I ask another BETA to Beta read my story.
I also know a BETA reader that would edit yours. Twistedheart23 but she can’t dit her own stories either. At least I think she told be that.
PORTFOLIO BETA A mutual fund manager has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.5.
The risk-free rate is 4.5%, and the market risk premium is 5.5%. The manager expects to
receive an additional $5 million, which she plans to invest in a number of stocks. After
investing the additional funds, she wants the fund’s required return to be 13%. What
should be the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio?
I was wondering if i can keep a male and female together in a tank if not attacking one another.Or do i have to get a separate tank for each.Oh and does it matter if my male beta is calm or not.
I need this to work for my business. Your old e-mail does work well for me, but I really like your new beta e-mail.
Hello, So when I double clikc on steam to load it to it has a pop up come up that says Fatal Error: Failed to load platform modules. What can I do to fix this? If anybody can give me any advice on how to fix this so I can load steam would be great.
As you may have probably have known, Portal is free this week in Steam. But after its promotion, it will go back to its regular price. but i downloladed onto my account. My question is: If i already downloaded Portal onto another computer, but im getting a new computer soon, can i download Portal for free on my new computer even though its paid again? If i could, does this apply to every game on my account?
