HDTV with kinect like motion control and must pay to use apps?


Recommended Posts

I just had to ask this question. A female bartender told me this. The Nickname I gave to her is (Brain drain) because she will spew so much **** out her mouth as fact it's not even funny. Problem is, she probably gives so many people so much bad information it's terrible. I told her in this case I would research it before taking this particular thing she told me as fact. (then again I never take anything she says as fact)

Here are some examples of the **** that has spewed out her mouth as fact.

1) Her boyfriend recently bought a Google phone running Windows phone 7

2) If the cops ever want to see video footage from inside the bar, all they have to do is ask for the mp3.

3) In this particular question she wasn't sure what TV it was, though she thought it was either Sony or Bravia.

4) She use to pay for Limewire. She would pay $1 a month there for she was paying for the stuff she was downloading which made it legal. LOL

5) She is a speed reader and can read 3,000 pages in 4 hours. But after her watching read on her phone she flipped the page once every minute. LOL

She said her uncle recently bought a new TV with motion control (kiniect) type controls. The maker of the TV also charges a subscription to use apps. So even to use an app like facebook, there was a monthly charge. Apparently he is currently paying $89 dollars a month for a subscription from the TV manufacture. Oh and the TV doesn't work unless you have internet hooked up to it.

I know what she said is probably pure crap, but before responding I wanted to do some fact checking.

Only TV I know that uses the motion controls is the new Samsungs "E" series, although I am not aware of any monthly fee that is charged for use of the Apps (I dont have this TV) - based on your friend.. the $90 a month might just be the cable bill..lol

Smart Interaction

Gesture Control

This amazing new function reacts to movements made by your hands to perform tasks such as changing channels, selecting an app, or navigating through web pages.

Face Recognition

Enjoy the convenience of logging onto your Samsung Apps automatically. With the built-in TV camera, this unique feature is able to automatically recognize your face so you don't have to type in your ID and password on the remote control.

Voice Navigation

Voice navigation responds to the sound of your voice so you can perform tasks such as turning on the TV, changing channels, and accessing apps without having to press a button. You can speak your commands directly to the TV or into the remote's built-in microphone.

Kinda sounds like she picked up an xbox w/ kinnect and the cost per month is internet service and xbox live.....

or maybe the new xbox w/ kinnect $99 subsidence mandatory live contract...

    • Sorry I mean your back rest on your Herman, can you move the back say 2cm then lock it? Then realise 2cm isn’t enough and you want an extra 1cm then lock it into that position? Basically like in an older car seat, you turn the knob round until you get the back recline precisely where you want it, this is what I found the Herman wouldn’t do
    • WTF? I am not taking a video of myself to access a site or to create an account. What are they thinking? I don’t even have a webcam on my main desktop PC. The powers to be are really looking to normalize the taking of pics or submitting ID for everything. I afraid most people will end up just going along with it.
