Found a screenshot option within the software (but still can't take screenshots of anything else without hacking).
Very nice...

OK, new toy to play with.
LayarI know you've probably seen this before on your iphones, but to me, this is black magic voodoo shit.
Unfortunately, one thing lacking without alot of hacking (which I'm not doing) is to take a screenshot, so I can't share what I'm seeing in Glasgow.
Now where this gets
REALLY freaky, is that the phone picks up GPS when I'm in the house, blinds closed, etc. But the sat nav in the car won't pick up satnav unless it's on the bloody windscreen, so to program it you've got to stretch out for about 2 minutes, then program it, then stick it on the screen. And the phone picks up it's location in about 3-5 seconds. Very slick.

So, Apple and YouTube together. Watch YouTube vid on your iPhone, and turn the iPhone round to get a better view of necessary.
Not only that, but the iPhone seems to clear up the images, getting rid of the blocky, pixellated stuff we normally see on YouTube. Amazing, no?
The words "trade descriptions act" come to mind. That phone doesn't do what the advert shows, not if my 10Mg connection and a PC can't do it.

No more fecking wireless.
Having fucked around with the Xbox/Wireless/Laptop/DVD Burner to watch an episode of Heroes, I'd had enough.
So I invested in 2 Solwise 200MB "homeplugs" - the network connections that use the mains. £120 from Amazon. Yes, another £100-odd quid spent on networking gear. How many times is that? Let me think. ADSL. NTL. ADSL+wireless. NTL+wireless. Now this. Enough already!
And the transfer speed from laptop to desktop is phenomenal. Unfortunately, the Xbox network adaptor seems to be goosed, so I can't test that, but when I get it fixed, it'll stream slicker than Flyguys' patter.
Alas, with Battlestar, Heroes, The 4400 all off at the moment, there's no urgent need to get it fixed.
