The answer is ARCHIMEDES

Guessing solution.
I had condidered this as a solution but dropped it thinking it was a name.
Leading - ARCH
One - I
Frenchman - M (Monsieur)
Point - E
Parisian - DES?

I find this funny, since about 90% of my fellow co-citizens now write it "Mr.", which is incorrect in French.

I bought two two years ago (one for my brother-in-law). Still works like a charm. The fact that the keyboard lights up is an added bonus.

Just search here[^] for either "air mouse" or "keyboard" (I'd try "air mouse" first), and you'll find sizes and shapes to suit anyone.

I wonder when someone will invent something that replaces the keyboard. Speech won't work, I don't want my gf to always hear what I'm typing. Hand-waving sucks. So I guess that leaves direct mind implants.

So targeted advertisement has been around for quite some time now but I still find it fairly creepy when I'm browsing a website and an advertisement appears "Looking into imagining algorithms, Look no further, new super duper ultra imagining blah blah blah" then later on in the day a colleague could comes to me:
Colleague> "Hey, I'm looking into re sizing blah blah compared to ratio blah blah".
Me> "I know, how did you find, <insert software="" vendor="" name="">?".
Colleague> "Hey now, how on earth did you know, stalking me?".
Me> "Nope, Google told me".
Colleague> "Oh right... wait a minute!"
It's the same for a network in a school or at home, you can start thinking about the habits of those you live with by the advertisements you receive, again fairly creepy. Of course you won't always be right, maybe they aren't looking for granny dating websites or maybe they weren't looking to buy that new toaster from argos that follows you from page to page?
Just a bit of a rant really...

I'm fairly good at filtering out adverts, don't really notice them unless it is something I am specifically interested in at that time, which I guess is the point of targeted ads.
But I actually followed one on Facebook the other week that led to us booking our next holiday through the company.
Had been looking at a number of holiday cottage web sites and hadn't found anything that grabbed me by the balls and shook, then a house appeared at the top right of Facebook, it looked the right size, right location, and was a website that hadn't turned up in my previous googling.
So I clicked through.
Eventually booked a different property on the same site.
It has a sauna, a hottub, an Xbox, a dirty great 3D TV with 3D blue ray player and full sky subscription.
I hope it rains every day.

Make it so. Let's hope it does. Indeed I bought a watch on through a facebook advertisement the other day, it was a birthday treat to myself.
I did notice on facebook the ads work out your locaiton and input the name into the advertisement, pretending that it's an image.

Too many of them try too hard to get my attention, so I just switch the lot off.
Yes, I probably miss out on some things I'd be interested in, but on the other hand I miss out on a heck of a lot I'm not!
One of the reasons I like Sky+: fast forward through the ads. We now refer to Sky+ as "AdSkip", and Herself complains when she runs out during CSI, NCSI, etc...

You can use the AdBlock plug-in to avoid having to deal with that.

I do find it somewhat annoying when I see products I have recently viewed at online shops or see ads targeted to match websites I have been to. So I get the odd mixture of guitars and medical technology ads. I guess I'd rather see those than the badly designed "you've won bazillions of dollars click here to find out!" ads.
I always make a point of not clicking on any of the ads, if I happen to see something of intrest I will go to the website directly rather than clikcking through the ad.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

You should read the Amscreen web page where they suggest where to position the current lot and what to target them with;
"People in hospitals are receptive to content about medical issues".
By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show. Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no f***ing joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil f***ing presence.

Troy Hunt's suggestion[^] of how the "opt-in" will work was quite amusing.
