    Can Samsung come out with a decent, respectable smartphone WITHOUT this TouchWiz crap? Every time I see it it screams "dumbphone" and every time I see it in action it screams "put me out of my bloody misery".

    I'm going to have to throw the "fake" flag on this one. They turn their heads, but the "projected" image from that camera stays in the correct position on the screen. Hell, the stick figures on the screen stay in the correct positions all the time. They should be bouncing all over the damn place.

    @barrywoods: Sorry, but in this case I think it being real is the simplest answer. If it were rear screen projected, they would be...I guess you would call it body synching to something behind their backs...very hard to believe And I see no signs of editing after the fact.

    As for the heads moving, I see plenty of keystoning (sp?), which is precisely what I would expect.

    @barrywoods: Hmmm....I definitely see what you're talking about. It's not 90 degrees (that's Exorcist territory) but the "projection" does not seem to match the head turn.

    I'm a big believer in Occam's Razor and, quite frankly, Velcro-ing a bunch on mini-projectors on some kids still seems like likeliest answer.

    That being said, no...I cannot explain the head turn phenomenon.

    skinny jeans... who've thunk that in 2009, young men would be almost completely emasculated, obsessed with their thighs, and wearing womens jeans?

    i suppose it's rather typical of me to have a disdainful view of the generation that will follow mine, but damn if they aren't making it easy to do so. the little emo pipsqueeks appear to be as useless as the 15 year old girls they emulate - show me a guy in skinny jeans who knows how to split wood or diagnose automobile trouble, and i'll show you a really surprised guy with a beard.

    @nutbastard: An in-depth understanding of automotive functionality is critical when you travel less than ten miles a day in a reliable car. Splitting wood is an incredibly important skill when you're living in an urban environment miles away from a tree not in a planter.

    Consider shaving. Beards are obsolete too.

    @nutbastard: what do you have to say about the fact that I've worn skinny jeans can split wood, work a chainsaw for that matter, diagnose automobile trouble (restored a 65 mustang in high school), can bake a pie, iron a shirt. Oh.. and I'm gay. I hope your comments are ladled out with a crapload of sarcasm. Otherwise you have little understanding of the generationt that is following you.

    Oh.. and having a beard doesn't make you a man.. I know a couple lesbians with them.

    @Tony Gomes:

    who said anything about beards or chopping wood making me a man?

    obviously what makes ME a man are the antiquated cargo pants i insist on wearing.

    but seriously, all joking aside, if you wear skinny jeans, even if you actually aren't, yer a puss, plain and simple.

    and you're right, though - i do have very little understanding of the generation behind me. i also have very little understanding of necrophilia and reality television.

    You know what fashion is? It’s a guide for those who are literally so individualistically bankrupt that they don’t know how to dress themselves in the morning.

    @nutbastard: Done. I was a guy in skinny jeans - back in 1999. Now I live in a house with wood heat only, and I can rebuild engines and service MPFI systems.

    Of course, now I loudly make fun of douches in skinny pants, but I have secret empathy for thier plight. The'll grow out of it.

    as for them having thighs i'll never have, you are correct. I will never be an emaciated anorexic, and so my thighs will always, you know, be thicker than my calves.

    @nachobel: I dig Holgas. For the price, they can actually take a decent photo, and can be modded pretty easily. Unfortunately, they suffer from the same plight that fixed-gear bikes do (I love their simplistic engineering): their incredible attractiveness to douchebags.

    Not to say that all Holga/fixie users are douchebags, but there sure are a lot of douchebags that use 'em...

    I think what I'd want instead is a separate pocket projector that I could plug an sd card into (among other inputs) and look at the pictures that way. I think this is one of those areas that two separate devices can do better than one. What I hope this does is move the technology along to where a less expensive (<$100) pocket projecter is a possibility. #nikons100pj

    ok, so yeah, this is just ridiculous levels of awesomeness. I want to do this to my house. I want to do this to my parents house. I want to do this to a local funeral home where the people in the game are zombies. I can't think of a single structure that wouldn't be improved with this treatement.
