"Don't lie"?

Hanh? Virtually ALL commercial-making and movie-making is a type of magic trick, a deception. People see multiple camera views (often taken on different days), green screen scenes, with added media, etc., and don't even know it's happening. It's simply how it's done. But with this commercial, it's not a matter of lying, but a matter of safety (as earlier stated, it's not safe to ride about looking at each other). The result, that the anti-shake feature works, is what matters.

Bigger screen is an absolute must if they don't feel like losing any more market share to android. 30 percent of buyers said that's why they bought android instead of an iPhone. On the other story how far are we off from some Robo-Olympics???
