Pretty much agree with all of this, however I do find answering calls on the watch useful in the times when I am not in the same room as my phone. I can answer and then go to my phone, instead of having to run for the phone and miss the call more often than not like I used to..

Also, I find it quite nice to be able to tell the time without having to dig out my phone.. Its gone full circle in that respect. :)

No, I'm kidding.. In all seriousness it is a terrible search "assistant".

But yeah, Google I guess.. It's what I always use.

Doesnt this mean that the idea that "I was just following orders" is no defence, is actually quite a provable defence?

While I agree with you regarding the up front costs, you'll make the money back on the cost of games, which are on average £10 cheaper on Steam at release (more so if you use a key reseller) than the console equivalent.. Also as game development follows the consoles nowadays, the old two year upgrade cycle no longer applies.. A decent PC now will serve you for as long as the consoles life, which was 10 years for the last generation.

No.

Er.. Wait.

As a UK resident and license fee payer, I have no problem whatsoever with non-UK residents watching the BBC.. I don't really understand why the BBC has a problem with it, it doesn't affect the amount of money they receive so who cares who watches it?

I would go as far a to say the first two seasons of every Star Trek series sucked (except perhaps TOS). They all seemed to take until around season 3 go get into their stride. The exception to this is ST:Enterprise, which didn't get into its stride until season 4, because it wasted the whole of season 3 on a misguided war on terror analogy.. Unfortunately, by then it was too late and the audience had left.

The single reason I'm interested in this tech is as a HUD for when I'm on my motorcycle. Having a satnav displaying just above my fov would be perfect.. Does anyone know how well this works for this purpose?

Well, yeah okay there's that. But as others have said, that's not new information. I should have said there's no new evidence.

The point of my moan is that this is yet another puff piece from StartsWithABang that frames itself as "Holy shit! Earth shattering breakthrough occurs!" when it actually hasn't. I find that annoying and something that seems to be happening more and more lately.

I'm not a physicist, but I do find this kind of stuff interesting enough to know that the headline is a big deal, but now I see that firstly, its another Starts With A Bang advertisement and secondly, the headline end with a question mark, so without reading the article, the answer is going to be no, there's no evidence.. *sigh*

860 years is long enough away that we would be able to develop any number of solutions to the problem, plus it would give us something to shoot for. I mean, nothing focuses the mind like the prospect of a fiery death.

Then again, if we're still stuck on this rock, arguing over pieces of land by then, I guess we deserve it...

How about the idea that a pedophile viewing child porn has an outlet that may provide enough of a release for them so that they don't go out and abuse a child themselves?

"Romans, they go the house"?? Admittedly, my latin isn't great..
