WHAT have the Rehashes Of Manshoots And Needforspeeds ever done for US?

You're not supposed to position your head, keep your head "perfectly" in front of the 3DS (side movement will keep the directional light from hitting your respective eyes). You are however supposed to use the slider to adjust the 3D effect until you find the sweet spot.

but I suspect a lot of that power is going on the 3d and isn't actually available for games to use on straightforward visual quality.

Depends on how you look at it. The screen is 800 pixels wide, but for the 3D effect every other vertical line is directed at your respective eyes, making the resolution effectively 400 pixels wide. Other than the double horizontal width (which of course is quite far from negligible), the 3D effect doesn't need extra processing power. The hardware does the light redirecting, which is why you have a smooth slider for adjusting the 3D depth, or "intensity" if you prefer.

What MS really need to do is educate people - instead of an intimidating dialogue that says "DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW THIS YES | NO" there needs to be an explanation of the consequences.

If they don't care, they don't read it. For those people, any kind of message box is in the way of them getting to what they wanted to do and thus they click on YES just to get rid of the it.

I actually agree, it was solely meant as a mockery, an extreme exaggeration.

While it indeed is a private entity offering this service, this doesn't mean one can't discuss how this private entity treats its customers. Secondly, the security is put in place by the airport, usually ruled by the countrys laws. The airlines themselves can't make too many demands.

And instead of the navigational equipment being built to tolerate wifi interference, we can soon look forward to turning in our terrorist cell phones at the security check, right before "the anonymous machine" checks your prostate. Because we live in a free country!

Wish I had mod points for this. Sharks are in river, river overflows into town, sharks are now in town. Surprised? No.

I was a bit surprised at there being sharks in the river in the first place, so I did a search on freshwater sharks. Thus, I learned something today, from Idle no less..
