  1. Voice control does work quite well I found on my android, and is great when you are driving. But I had 2 problems with it. a) Makes you feel a bit self conscious that you are "talking" to your phone. Makes you feel like "knight rider". I kept wanting to call the phone "KITT". Sort of made me wonder why would you spend ages dictating a text message or email to your phone so it can automatically send it to someone when you can just phone the person up directly and tell them the message. I guess some people just dont like talking to people on their phone? Haha, that's true. I would feel quite daft using it in public I think!! That's a valid point too, but unfortunatley organising the hockey team involves texting 12-20 people the same thing. Definitely wouldn't want to call them all!
  2. I agree, an f stop that low compared with a better lens array should give some great pics and be less grainy/noisy in low light too. I'm intrigued to see the Siri thing working, my previous experience with voice commands haen't been great, but this looks amazying. Spending a lot of time in the car, having messages read out loud and being able to dictate messages is pretty special. A bit gutted I have a year left on my contract, but at least OS5 will be a good improvement. Maybe my contract will expire in time for the 5!!
  3. Good work if you can get it!! 10 takes and two hours to get the right shot for him spraying himself!! Hope the car doesn't smell like a tarts handbag now!!
  4. Haha, brilliant. Bet their keeper is glad he went up for the corner!!
  5. I'm gutted for you buddy, but the main thing is you're okay and insurance will get it sorted in the end. Hope it doesn't take too long.
  6. Lets hope they've got the ariel right for all those shovel handed people and their death grip!!
  7. Nice! Unfittunately I've got quite some time left on my contract, so a little jellous!! Still, the software update has some good features when that gets released.
  8. When is the 5 due to be released?
  9. Wow, if only that was real, awesome!!!
  10. Not sure I would have been calm enough to film it! (But that said it looks like it may be car mounted, but hteir voices seem pretty calm) Pretty scary stuff.
  11. There is a sliver bonnet on Fleebay for around £100.
  12. windows 7 as never crashed on me yet ( had it installed since launch) , when did you last use a windows pc was it back in windows 2000 or earlier days Me either. It's been perfect. They have to say it to feel slightly better about spending double on their equipment I use a PC daily at work, but with XP and that runs better than my colleagues laptop with Windows 7 on. But you can't grumble at paying £20 for Lion. I wonder what Windows will cost?
  13. Hey don't knock Fisher Price, they make a Good range of educational toys!
  14. Lion for me too. 8 will be like the rest, crash regularly and require frequent updates to correct all the things they never tested themselves. Let get the public to do that for us!!
  15. Yes, loud and raspy is good. Is yours a soft top? I found in the Coupe it's echos through the boot too much without the bungs in!
  16. I completely agree with that. (Oxford too, nice. ) And to a certain extent it comes down to how it's taught/explained. I must admit I struggled at A level, but when I got to Uni and did similar/harder things from A level I thought I was going to struggle again. But the way it was taught in our 1st year maths classes was different and something clicked/made sence and I flew through. Part of me wishing that had happened a year previous! But at least it set me up for the rest of my years studying. If you do get some help from someone else, hopefully there will be some form of explaniation and something will click for you too so going forward you will be able to get to grips with it.
  17. Likewise, I did A level maths and Engineering at Uni but I graduated in 2000, so those brain cells may have killed off by now! Anyway let me know the problem and I'll have a look. I'm sure I still have some text nooks and possibly my notes too.
  18. Okay, how do I post/paste them directly into the post? Cheers
