Topic: Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

I saw Mirror Mirror last week and really enjoyed it.  There are a few dark elements to the story, though it isn't that dark overall.  It is mainly fun and entertaining. 

I'll probably see Snow White and the Huntsman too.  I think it looks like it will be a lot darker.

Looking at the trailers, if Mirror Mirror had turned out to be as dark, I'd have been very surprised!

Well, maybe not. I was referring to Jack the Giantkiller, assuming this would be loose retelling of the fairy tale? Directed by Bryan Singer.

In all honesty I had forgotten about that film. So no teasing for once!

In act, it's the iPad, not a phone. It doesn't always catch all keyboard touches and I don't always catch all instances when that happens. The mising B is a minor case of Suhr occurrences...

Really? I did test run an iPad for a while and didn't get chance to try the keyboard. That is absolutely dreadful. I tend to get drawn into Android v iPhone debates just for leg-pulling opportunities at work, but in all seriousness, though over-hyped, Apple kit is superb. I simply don't like it. I know the iPhone is bad for typing, but I thought that they would have made some effort with the tablet. I'm surprised because I know how good it could be.

As a comparison, consider I'm typing this on my HP TouchPad. I'm typing it quickly too; in fact I can type faster than on a standard keyboard. It's auto-correct is so intuitive that it corrects and even does some punctuation as I go and if I disagree, I just tap the backspace and it puts it back to what I intended. It's so good I now get frustrated with proper keyboards because Windows/Office can't do the same! I sit there looking at spelling errors and wondering why they are there at all!

It's not really about the screen, I think it's more about the position I hold it at the time or my inaccurate typing the keys are certainly big enough and the screen is very responsive in general. The iPhone is obviously not meant for extensive typing, but by the size of the keys on it it is even easier to mistype.

While I like the products myself, you won't really here me debating about them too much, let alone trying to convince someone. As always, it's all about what for you want to use a certain product.

But you see my point is, I mistype on the Touchpad all the time, yet it catches them constantly. The software should be able to compensate even if you suffer from fat finger syndrome!

Enjoyed that second trailer.

you should see the suggestions it sometimes comes up with. The wilder ones make it easier to catch the mistypes. It's the subtler ones (Ob instead of Bob) that go through.
