Just had an email concerning this new gadget.......which maybe out already but it was the first time I had seen it and thought it was pretty cool and could be used somehow.

I was considering getting one of these myself but the reviews have not been very good. Apparently it doesn't work too well and a lot of people are disappointed. I'd have to see it in action with my own eyes before I reconsidered.

Our Samsung TV can be controlled by waving at it.  It's the most annoying thing in the universe.  Any inadvertent hand motions would bring up a menu in the middle of watching a TV programme.  We switched off this feature very soon after buying the TV.

Did the same on my phone and it's eye sensors to scroll and also tilt back or forward, though I've left the hand motion there as that is partially useful.

I can understand that being annoying depending on what you was watching. :o

I still feel like a teenager sometimes  :oops:
What I meant to say as Flis was watching me type was that I still feel young at heart and in mind, its just my body that lets me down. :-?
