Did not bother to sign up, because they did not send an installation CD with it ;-)

www.winzki.de (multi-language) My kids love these apps, and they are a real live-saver when you're not at home and your kids get bored. These apps are specifically made for small children, because when they hold the iPhone or iPod touch with one hand on the display, the apps still work. Most other apps for kids don't, which results in a big pile of frustration. You just can't tell a kid how to hold the thing 'right'.

From the article: 'A spokesman for Sky confirmed that the company has been involved in a "five-year dispute with Skype" over trademark applications filed by the telecomms company. These are, the spokesman added: "including, but not limited to, television-related goods and services."'"

True, true. But in the last video we see that even permanent magnets can accelerate that motor with no other coils included.
So in my way of dissecting the problem I have to ask: Is the Iron bar he inserts into the shaft magnetized by any chance ?
Or does it 'optimize' the motor's own magnetic field so it runs faster ?
Would the motor run faster with the coils far, far away AND the iron bar (magnetized or not) inserted ?
