Did anybody else read that headline as...

oh wait.. never mind!

Would want it to Swivel surely?

"Hopefully, HP will have the sense to face the projector away from the user, otherwise accessing the machine during a movie projection will be difficult."

Facing away would mean that it would be awkward to face the audience when doing a presentation.. okay for film watching except the smaller screen distracting from the projection (unless screen can be turned off)

but make it swivel, add in the option to flip the image up the over way and paired with a bluetooth clicker then you could stand/sit where ever you wanted whist showing your powerpoint presentation

Films, youtube and powerpiont are likely to be the most used applications of this tech

See text body..

Between the Slovakian authorities planting explosives and the Japanese customs planting drugs (all for testing purposes, honest) we live in interesting times for travelling!!

My nan had a Dragon..

.. And it's clone of Donkey Kong is indeed feindish, compared to the arcade version it seems.

Another fav played on the Dragon was Chuckie Egg, I hunted out the windows binary of the BBC version of that again recently to play again.

Most of my 'type from magazine BASIC' games would have been on the Acorn Electron and then we would often have to wait for the corrections printed in the next months issue (port to other versions of BASIC? I could just about fix the odd ' Missing " ' type error and that was about it at that age / level of understanding).

Don't think I ever played The Valley though...

4OD?

"The BBC online catch-up offering will be joined on Freesat by its ITV equivalent sometime during H1 2010, it was revealed"

(As the 'required' title already alludes too..) What about 4OD?

unless..

"It would seem that in addition to not really being possible, the invisibility cloak/shed/carpet is also fairly crap."

Unless you hide your shed in amoungst a fairground style hall of mirrors, where it looks like it would fil right in....

Got the formats right, shame about the price!

I trust that 'Fully compatible' means that there is no form of DRM type stuff thrown in?

Get the price right and more bands / artists should do this! (along with less fancy less limited edition back cat usb sticks).

Nice..

..now I just gotta think about how to link my Wi Fi Router in the hall to my Humax box under the TV in the lounge. Cheaply, neatly and without having to lift carpets/floor boards or needing to repaint walls walls etc..

@ Rob Farnell: I read some where here on The Reg in October that an update for the Foxsat HD is due this month..

I agree about the Wii iPlayer needing fixing but I am still waiting for an iPlayer App for my iPod Touch*

*I may have commented as such before now in another article.

Project Kangeroo - via an alternative route?

Anyway, where is the iPlayer app for iPhone/iPod touch?

I have the 'web app' but would like a native one..

Although apparently..

We live longer than most of our historical cousins - go figure!

@Vomite

New keyboard please Mr Cowherd 1!

Already P!ss3d 0ff..

I'm already decidedly unhappy about having to Pay BT £12 a month for a landline I do not really need or use just so I can have broadband connected.

I know for a FACT that they can enable use of broadband without enabling phone calls on the line but they just will not allow it because they can get away with charging for effectively nothing!

It is not the same in all countries and I understand (but do not know for fact) that Virgin cable customers can have broadband without a phone service if they wish but I do not live in an area with cable.

I don't think I've ever used the phase before (although have often agreed with others when used) but this is a perfect example of 'Rip off Britain'!!!

Not to mention that fibre capable of 100Mbits/s is being installed to the homes (not just the street cabinets) by FibreCity (albeit in just a couple of 'Trial Cities' ATM) I would far rather any revenue went to them to expand further and wider!

Wii

I imagine the Wii balances a lot of this out - good ol' Nintendo!

svelte

is this the El Reg 'word of the month' or something?

Read this word several times on here in the last week even the commentors have started using it - and I wasn't counting the one that was complaining about it's use twice in one article!

and @ K - Plan on making many calls underwater? ;-)

Surely..

...An STB that can 'translate' any type of 3D TV signal for display on a non '3D TV' would be more useful?

If consumers want 3D TV, and Sky are likely to be the first to market with a channel then you can faily safely bet that which ever method they choose is likely to become the standard.. this would give a box that can display any 3D signal 'only' on any 3D TV a very limited market of wealthy early adopters that chose the wrong one.

And if they can afford to be an early adopter of 3D TV are they going to buy an STB to fix it or just buy a new 3D TV that works..

Thank you for the Link!

My dream my not be so impossible after all!

Re: "Phone design wisdom"

I had a P800i the day it came out in the UK, and have a P990i - Great phones, but I am back on the P800 because the P990i has died and SE have not updated the range :-(

I do find it funny that it's several years later and only since the iPhone came out that the other manufactures have jumped on the 'touch screen' band wagon.

In the 'basic phone' arena, my fave was the Sony J5 - excellent form factor and (iirc) one of the first with polyphonic ring tones - theres baisc and theres basic, I doubt many folks would really want to go back to pre-mp3 playing let alone pre-polyphonic!

SE please do an update to the P series and update the J5 (OLED, very similar form factor, lose the arial (like those Russian J5 pics around at the time) ) I'd probably get both!

As it is I 'want' an iPhone for the same reasons as mentioned by Andy Watt but I will not get one on O2! (roll on the iPhonei lol!!)

I remember often visiting J5 and P800 fansites back in the day but no other phone has inspired me to do so!

@Anonymous Coward...15:03 GMT

Lol, Just Lol

To me that just sounds like...

..3800 people that could do with an iPhone..

(and no I don't have one. I'm happy with Orange)

Despite the presence at least two bits of juicy flame bait in my short post you may as well save your (expensive) fuel as I'm fireproof! lol

I like the way you all jump on the UFO theroists...

as though the government and its agencies have never lied to or misled the general public in any way or covered up the truth about things countless times in history...!?!

Are you all really pig-headed enough to think that in this almost infinate universe - where every star you can see (and the trillians & trillians you can't) is a 'Sun' with potentially with it's own system of planets like our own - that we are on the only planet that has any life on it?

Anyone would think the 'God made the earth in seven days and that's final' brigade had signed up to el reg..

I call Bullsh*t!

If they really worked and we *knew* that then why would people stop buying a licence?

It's believing that they probably don't work that is gonna encourage folks not too get one i'd say.

Playmobil?

Can't beleive I'm the first to ask but only seven comments are showing so far...
