Some sort of sorcery... facial detection, etc. I read an article about a prototype that could track up to 9 (or maybe 7) people at once.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishing -
Originally posted by ChimpMaster View PostI've found myself a HD/3D 60" plasma at just over £1,000. It's clearly not the greatest tech out there but it'll give me what I want for the next few years and then we'll move on again.
True. Though as I can't be arsed with 3D (no movie out yet really capitalises on it, apart from maybe Piranha 3D with Kelly Brook
) I got a decent 50" plasma for £550. The 60" model was almost a grand extra.

I wonder what the pets make of the 3D. No way can the tech differentiate between cats, dogs, and hairy people.

My 3 year old ran away from the demo 3D TV screaming because she thought the scary (cartoon) character was coming out of the TV to get her. The 3D must be good, I thought.Originally posted by PAH View PostI wonder what the pets make of the 3D. No way can the tech differentiate between cats, dogs, and hairy people.
This was in a Currys store with lots of other people standing around the 3D demo!
I must admit that I was quite pleasantly surprised by the 3D picture.Comment
