In order to keep a constant temp : Thermogenic actions = Actions absorbing heat

Heat producing= Exercise
Heat losing = Eating crushed ice cubes

Sure I can use my will-power and actions to make some small change to the 37C core temperature my body likes to keep, but what's your bet that I can voluntarily eat ice until I hit 32 degrees?

There's no chance in hell is there? In much the same way my body will fight every inch of the way to get away from a composition the internal settings like to keep. You don't look like you struggle with weight, so let me ask you this: is that through will-power or the fact that you just aren't hungry all of the time?

Well Keith, allow me to comment as somebody who has a special interest in the topic of weight maintainence and also as a medic who has passed all of his exams (just waiting for the diploma!).

It really is not as simple as you make out. Calories in and Calories out arguments are severely out-dated and fail to take account for so much evidence it's shocking. I don't read the paleo blogs or the low-carb books but then again I've never struggled with weight, and I doubt you have either. What I will say is this: There is not a doubt in my mind, having looked at studies on the subject, that the modern field of medicine is clueless about weight maintainence and has been misled along the way- the endocrine system is wonderfully complex and to think that we can overpower all of it in order to make a substantial change in weight through will-power?

Let's look at it in a simplified but alternative view, instead of willing our hypothalamuses to stop us eating, let's use our willpower to change our body temperature...

Just tried it out, a simple and fun game indeed.... kind of like being a sheepdog but based in space- if that makes any sense at all.

That looks seriously addictive and with a little more graphical polish I feel certain it would be an excellent top-tier title for WP7.

Why doesn't Microsoft see potential in these games whilst approving them and give developers extra support to make them into XBL titles?

I think I saw a UK lottery application on the marketplace just recently... not sure though, I don't play.

I would LOVE more banking applications- a sad side effect of everybody using iDevices is that we don't get any love from these companies!

If they had made this available sooner I would have bought it ASAP, however they're too late to the game for this generation of WP7 devices IMHO. I have my LG phone for another year or so before the contract expires and that's going to hurt Dell despite making a sexy device... and by that time I may or may not go Nokia.

Best of luck to them though.

I don't care if it's fake or not, that's an enticing design. If Sony Ericcson were to produce this I'd be torn between it and whatever Nokia put out next.

Needs to highlight the Zune pass.... then this full version needs to be shown before every movie in cinema's nationwide for the next year... then it might just work.

Very nice actually.

Great ad, now do one which tells people you can have unlimited songs each month for $14.99/£9 for up to three devices... watch the families start lining up.

The product's great, knowledge about it... not so much.
