plex isn't all roses on LG tvs, it's missing a 'watched/not watched' that lg has known about since 2011, but it is pretty damn good.

I've been using plex for some time now, and is one of the reasons I actually chose LG. but they are arsey bastards, integratings ads into their own interface.

see here for known bugs and missing features: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/28419-bugs-and-req...

the lack of an input button is maddening to the extreme, it basically forces you to use the interface.

i thought the magic remote was ok too, until i started using the other one, it actually makes so much more sense to me.

What is really so annoying about this, is that sony are COMPLETELY AWARE that this annoys the piss out of the consumer, that they added it as a PAID FUNCTION to the 'playstation plus' that you can have the option to auto-install updates for you.

see here: http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/

The gall of the company to sell auto software updates as a feature amazes me.

As an Australian who can't get Netflix without breaking the Netflix Terms of Service I suspect there's going to be an awful lot of downloading going on here, even moreso than the game of thrones situation we had where we were only just behind.

Now it's just 'off limits' entirely.

legally, anyway.

It's telling that the code of Gene's script is named "Frustrate_copy". it's all right there, really.

BM:S is very, very nice looking and fun, but it's still not finished yet, anyone looking bear in mind multiplayer and the Xen levels are not implemented yet.

It's passed steam greenlight, so once finished, should be available for a nice one click install. I look forward to this :)

But if you're reading this thread and excited, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

eh. it purportedly is going to have touch controls. so it could act as a switch of sorts if you wanted it to.
pretty damn cool. It is the zombo.com of lights.

except it does... what... it is meant to...

ok maybe not zombo.com.

We've backed for 2 battery powered ones, and plan on doing that, as well as an alarm clock that will integrate with our lifx backing.

that way the bathroom light can start at 20% when I touch the light when i get up and fade up over a few minutes to 100% while I hate the world a little less during that time in the morning when I get up.

I'm not a morning person.

backer here - there's also a nice video regarding working with atlassian to show when the build gets broken.

where exactly does it say he's trying to sell it?

I can't see that anywhere.

edit: looks like only amazon refer to it as being 'sold', can't see the author mention it.
