LiEnucks sucks. 1% forever. Visit my channel LOL

LiEnucks is a PIECE of shit garbage. It sucks, why? Free and yet at 1% market share. Has to the most bug ridden piece of shit ever made in the history of software.

Check out my channel for benchmarks and more, Windows 7 OWNS all :) LOL

The candle redirect the IR signal to the blue tooth

jacnail September 23, 2011 at 8:23 pm

Very, very nice idea… replacing the Sensor Bar with the cheapest replacement: Candles!

That may be hilarious, but very well thought.

LqFFREAKK September 23, 2011 at 11:52 pm

candles release ir light which the wii mote can pick up.

xkeltoix September 24, 2011 at 12:29 am

the candles play some roll with using the wii mote, apparently u dont need the thing on top of your tv to use it

SinistralEbb September 24, 2011 at 12:46 am

Ignites September 24, 2011 at 2:28 am

newbie :s

IR WII bars can be bought on Ebay real cheap that are wireless i.e. run on batteries. meaning you dont need a Wii or candles. or space any two IR sources about 6 to 12 inches apart. A couple of IR LED’s and a battery would also do the trick.

I’m sat here checking out what a laptop running ubuntu is like when treated as a desktop plugged into my 27″ TV. Lol and i was wondering if there could be any better control system than the piece of crap mouse and keyboard I have. Then I saw this. I probably won’t be arsed looking into it though. Plus, the candles are kinda annoying.

achmedthedeadterror5 September 24, 2011 at 4:02 am

that would be linux, its compiz. You can install it in all versions of linux its sweet.

n00oob September 24, 2011 at 4:14 am

I can only see this working if the screens were huge, if you get my meaning, for like presentations and stuff, other than that, small monitors = nah

bigjohnman1 September 24, 2011 at 5:13 am

Wow! did you not see the title? He is using Ubuntu with the program Beryl which makes your desktop 3D.

LalalandE2008 September 24, 2011 at 5:50 am

impressive
could you provide some details on how you did it?

xnick0 September 24, 2011 at 6:27 am

Most webcams would do a lousy tracking. Let me know if you find a good one!
