They are right way up on my screen (and I am the right way up too!)

Perhaps it's another of the features of Windows 8 which I never knew I had/wanted.....

Some are OK (first two) and some upside down on iPad running IOS6......I knew I shouldn't have upgraded as they're all fine on the PC. ??? :type:

Unless the last three were after an icy morning drive, and that is now the right way up...... :P. it was snowing here this morning!!

Just saw this clip on BMW adaptive led headlights.  Very very impressive tech!  I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous. Okay I am a little bit.  :))

Very clever.  Does it work the same way on the HID versions, or is it an improved capability just for the LED units?  When I specced my X6 the function just turned the High Beam on an off according to the dealer.....none of this beam splitting or light tunnels!
