The problem I see with this system is that in a dialogue heavy production you're going to spend more time with your eyes away from what's happening on stage rather than watching the production. Even when the text is projected near the stage (I have seen foreign language productions that use surtitles above the proscenium arch) you're still missing what's going on.

What you need are glasses with a Heads Up Display that displays the translations in the same field of vision as what you're watching.

Well I can't speak for Alexis, but my i7 940 PC was delivered in November LAST year. Having said that the iMac looks a nice bit of kit, would never buy one in a million year, but looks nice. Heat dissipation issues would worry me in a form factor like that though.

Engadget, I suggest a policy whereby when a certain percentage of a person's comments are "low ranked" within a given period of time, they perhaps should be prevented from posting any more comments for a month, as it's obvious they are adding nothing to the discussions at hand, and are infact being distruptive to them.

Perhaps in this way it would help prevent the trolls and fanbois...from whatever side of the fence they come.

While on initial reading I thought WTF (and actually the main bit of me still does), the part of me that's playing devil's advocate thinks we've finally got what we deserved. Amazon have the (previously unknown) ability to recall purchases from our devices and they used it, at least they refuded our money...OK, now before anyone starts going on about "I purchased that with my money" and "consumer contract rights" etc, while they are all valid points (and actually I agree with them, but I'm still in Devil's Advocate mode), if this had been a printed book, they would have recalled all the illegal copies off the shop shelves, but didn't have a way to recall all the purchased copies...well now they do...and have used it...good for them.

Can anyone on this forum say they have NEVER EVER copied one piece of music, or copied one piece of software without purchasing it? The record companies didn't have the foresight to see where the technology to copy CD was going and we exploited that...now as soon as a company does that to us we cry "that's not fair"...pot, kettle, black, I feel.

Having said all that...I think it's bloody unfair and Amazon are becoming a bunch of controlling power hungry megalomanics (kinda like Microsoft, Google and Apple)

Supersine in the UK were doing this masked projection onto 3M film for Harrods back in April 2007:

OK, so the guy misread the post - jeez, there's no need to be so abusive towards him, that's totally uncalled for. All you needed to do was point out he'd made a error and move on.

...or 1.42 Danny DeVitos

I must admit I've been guilty of getting defensive of "my corner" on occasion. I just wish Apple and now Microsoft would sell their products on their own merits without having to resort to bad mouthing their competition - it's ugly, underhanded and smacks of desperation.

What about Nintendo's "reputation" for consistently coming in LAST PLACE in Greenpeace's greener electronics guide year after year after year http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/guide-greener-electronics-8-edition-250608

Even the Wii doesn't meet Energy Star standards.

Nintento might make some "fun" gadgets and be making bucket loads of cash, but they don't seem to care how they destroy and pollute the environment while they do it.

Irresponsible and self-serving are two words that spring to mind.

"102.5 inches of working area" - golly, I think I need a new desk. Wonder how much that would cost as a Cintiq?

Well my bank account now looks a bit smaller...next stop ebay for my old trusty Intuos2.
