How would an IR camera pointing up be able to tell you the vertical position of a hot or cold spot? Wouldn't it just register the average temperature of the column?*

So the theory is that Paul McGann ages and becomes John Hurt?
Also unlikely, as Clara claimed she'd seen all of the Doctor's other incarnations, and the McGann Doctor has already been acknowledged post Time War with sketches, audio clips and one or two brief visual flashbacks (although the Eighth Doctor was only very very tenuously glimpsed during The Name of the Doctor). Also Hurt's costume (if you've seen the spoilerific photos) does have a passing resemblance to a battered version of McGann's new costume as worn by him for promoting the Big Finish audios.
My theory is that McGann was forced to regenerate during the Time War - perhaps by choice, since he knew he couldn't do what was required with his current personality - into Hurt, who then did the Bad Thing.
I'm pretty sure The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors had the Time Lords referring to those three/five being all of the then-having-existed (?) incarnations of the Doctor (or the Time Lord currently known as the Doctor). And it's only 6-4 when it comes to actors being younger or older than their predecessor when taking on the role. 6-5 if they squeeze Hurt in there somewhere.
You read wrong. They got another actor in to play the First Doctor in the 25th anniversary special. Clara specifically said she'd seen all of the Doctor's other incarnations but didn't recognise Hurt.
Interesting, but (and this a genuine question, not a glib attempt to undermine your statement) what does that mean for the even greater risk at weekends?
"A British Medical Journal (BMJ) research report says that 'Surgeries on Friday Are More Frequently Fatal... compared to those who opt for really bad Mondays, Britons who have a planned surgery on a Friday are 44 percent more likely to die. And the few patients who had a leisurely weekend surgery saw that number jump to 82 percent. The skeleton staff working on weekends might be to blame.'"
You really need to decide where the quotes are supposed to go in this summary. I very much doubt that a BMJ report would ever use such glib phrases as "really bad Mondays" and "leisurely weekend surgery."
In fact I don't think anything in TFS has actually been quoted from the report, beyond individual words or numbers. So why is it in quotes? Or are they just random apostrophes?
To which I would re-iterate: optical zoom. I was watching hovering birds of prey yesterday, and having only my phone to hand (a Samsung S3 Mini with a 5mp camera), I took a few snaps. Looking at the resultant JPEGs the bird in question is indistinguishable from a duck flying in the opposite direction. If you've got some guy threatening to jump off the Sears Tower, you're going to look awfully dumb if all you can get is a wide angle shot with a tiny speck on top.
For less than $100 you can get a compact camera with 16mp and a 10x optical zoom, and cameras are also becoming available with 3G and running Android if you need to get your images out to world in seconds.
Also, around 50%* of the world's most interesting events happen during hours of darkness, for which you're also going to wish you had a bigger lens and a bigger sensor.
*Actual figure may be different.
I just read TFA:
The iPhone has a better camera than most digital point-and-shoots [no it doesn't], and more importantly, it is in everyone’s pocket [no it isn't].
Speaking of which, were they trying to suggest Oswin was really some of the other companions?
I did wonder about that, but I think they were just dressing her contemporaneously. Ace, certainly, wasn't witness to that bloody awful (and literal) cliffhanger in Dragonfire, as "Clara" was. Why they chose that bit to signify McCoy's era is beyond me, but perhaps nothing else was suitable.
Slashdot Mirror
Its key feature is that it can run both the Jelly Bean version of Google's Android OS and Windows 8.
It doesn't say it can do both at the same time.
Proxima Centauri To Bend Starlight For Planet Hunt
Now there's a beautiful piece of inspiring intersteller cooperation. Down here on Earth we can't even club together to go back to the Moon.
That sucked.

Why do you assume everyone always needs more functionality?
Creating Mobile Apps With JQuery Mobile
Wait, is it about creating apps or creating websites? Are they the same thing now? Bloody kids with their ridiculous ideas...

Could be. But I'm wondering if they might not come up with something worse.
Maybe he was the one who commissioned Don't Scare the Hare.
Might've just mixed up David Tennant and Nick Clegg memes there. Sorry. So sorry.
I'm sorry,
I'm so, so sorry.

Jim Parsons.
He will knock... three times.
A self-confessed science fiction fan, Hewlett has been quoted saying that Doctor Who is what first sparked his love for the genre.
So just about every doctor before him has decided that they're just making too much money
They'd be lucky. It's not like they can hold the producers to ransom like the cast of Friends did.
Maybe the next person they cast should sign a 10 year contract or something.
The show has managed to last 50 years in large part because no-one outstays their welcome.
Yes. You're a twat.
Aren't we talking about the Kirlian effect? that's been known for many and I mean, may years.
If by "known" you mean "had a lot of bollocks talked about", then yes.
Here's a quick recap of the last 8 years.
Nope. Past Doctor, more likely.
The people now responsible for capturing the most important events...
...aren't working for the Chicago Sun-Times anyway.

In the same vein, I'd go with Stewart Lee.
It's become something of a tradition to employ actors in the role.
