Brits turned off by Smart TVs

Hell YES!

I can see the point of those features where the TV is all you have, ie no set top box, dvd/ bluray / consoles/ home cinema amp, but that is it.

I agree I want my TV to just be a dumb monitor on to the rest of my kit. I don't really even want speakers on to it, to be honest.

And I'm definitely not fussed about it being 3D, that's a huge fad it you ask me.

Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Part One

Scroll Preferences

The biggest problem I've found with Lion so far is with the scroll preferences - I have a Macbook Pro, and I use a Magic mouse with it. I was using the mouse when I installed Lion, and the scroll inverted. I went in to preferences, and disabled natural scroll, restoring the way I expect a mouse to work. Then I discovered that all the gestures on the trackpad were now inverted.

It appears that natural scrolling is a system wide option, rather than being device specific. Mice and Trackpads are not the same Apple. People use them differently and now that particular scrolling option locks them together.

I'd like to see this become device specific, and I'd also like to see the scroll reversal configurable on a per axis basis too.

I guess I'd better get used to either fucked up scrolls on one device or having sys prefs open all the time :(
