[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 1792, member: 175089"] Your doing this on purpose now. Stop it. Forget the pint (re: rant #657) - you need a whiskey m8e. This rant should be stopped in its tracks !! Shame I can't delete them like Zansi can ;-) Any more, and I'll be required to put a nail directly through Gouda on my pin-cussion. It just needs addressing - and then perhaps it will go away. The answer is: cleanfeed's to other parties; i.e., zonder 'red button' icon. Albeit, I hear they are trialing some new software that eliminates the need for the interactive button. Sky Newz's R+D whizz, Justin Junk, says "We are now in final development trials of the 'virtual lips'. When its been approved by actor's union Ekwity, we will have the possibility to localise Kate Burley in over 120 territories and Department Stores; thus maximising revenue streams from a more personalised multi-feed News Service." "So, whether you are at Malaga airport or in a Debenham's 'Wishing' cafe - you'll get a personalised, local greeting like "Your watching SKY News (at the Debenham's 'Wishing' Cafe). Its 6'O'clock and here are the headlines." "The technology will also allow us to insert the virtual lips, or VirtualRealtimeLipInsertionPromptS, for short - in at 15,30 and 45 mins past the hour too." He continues, "In order for the tracking software to work, SKY News presenter's wear a special neck harness, which is fixed to their chair. Eight Red 'Plodglets' in the harness are tracked by computer software (developed by NDS) in the camera head. Initial set-backs meant that the 'plodglets' had to be visible in-camera." "It would have also meant millions of viewer's reaching for their interactive buttons," he says jokingly. Concluding, Justin, adds "so, were now fine-tuning ways to make them less visible and, to a lesser degree, more paletable for Ekwity (as the actor's union has aired doubts about their member's looking like aliens)."
