Well thanks people for singing up! Entrys for Part 1 are closed however if you still want to enter im sure we can fit you into Part 2 :) Which will start as soon as Part 1 is over.

All we need to do is an updated transport list etc with what we have got, if someone wants to do that, that would be a good help as no offence i dont really know much about USA states and distances between them etc.

The final chosen name was Ermete.

I would like to see more people. I think once the pics start rolling in, then it'll draw some more interest.

Does anyone think it'd maybe be a good idea to create a pics forum that is locked to only the people that participate? That way we limit who posts. We could put a link on the front page for new people to join the list? Once you're on the list, you can then post to the forum. Read-only for the rest? Is that even possible?

Thoughts?

AND...when will the first pics of Ermete start rolling in?

Just make a flickr group and only allow invited people to submit. o_O

oh hey so i just noticed that there's a dot in HK

in that case I could do both Vancouver and Beijing if:

a) you guys don't mind me having the bear for a little longer than usual

b) I receive the bear at around the 22th of April

I can take pics of Vancouver, bring it with me to Beijing, take pics there, then ship it off to Hong Kong.

otherwise my original offer (Vancouver in Jun-Aug) still stands :)

Well im not bothered wher eit goes first, if someone would not mind doing a world kinda basic posting list, like we had a few pages back, as im useless with working out states in america etc.

I was thinking post it to the USA first as thats where the most people are, then while thats going on anyone in europe can submit their name and be added to the europe leg etc.

Or unless i post it to the one person in europe and they post it onwards to the USA or whatever.

Well, I say send it to West coast US, Work down the coast, over to east coast (Stopping in main land) working up the coast over to EU, Back to UK for finish ?

Sounds good. One suggestion though: maybe we could give it to the HK & Australia ppl first?

Stopping on the way of course

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
