I love how Django just keeps slowly improving at every release. 6.0 is especially cool, including lots of really useful new features. Who said dependable tech was dull - this is the way is should be done. Well done all who contribute.

Scammer should have asked earlier what OS he was using! Skip to 6.30 if you get bored. In the last 30 seconds, the scammer gives up and says "you are not a journalist, you are a bastard son of Charles Babbage I think so."

Personally, I'd rather tell my media centre PC to change channel with a voice command than wave my hand at it. Seems more natural to me. I'm sure flicking through channels would be easy enough with some kind of motion commands, but navigati
