    In reply to First White Spaces Broadband Trial Spreads Wi-Fi Via Broadcast TV
    my house: a well, a septic tank, and propane. No cable. too far from DSL hub. shit cell reception. no line of sight for dish. no line of sight for long range dedicated wireless. and to top it off, shitty television reception.

    that house is going to be like a fucking museum in very short order. "hey everybody, lets take a trip, back in time to the exciting world of 1992! you've got yer 28k modem over there on that 33MHz Performa, WITH CD-ROM, by the way, so load up Sam and Max and relive the world of yesteryear!" #internet

    What if we all end up wearing polarized contact lenses and EVERY monitor/tv is in 3d?

    BTW, what idiot put the TV directly under a fluorescent light fixture?

    @Bos'un's Mate: well, this tech doesnt have polarization at its core. the glasses are actually lcd screens. and they close one eye *turn on lcd* and open the other eye *turn off lcd to make it see through* in rythm with the television. so when the tv shows the right side pic, you only see it through your right eye. Mitsubishi has this tech on all their DLP tvs as well. its a pretty cool tech. the glasses communicate wirelessly with the television to make sure everything is in sync. I think NVidia has a similar tech for their 3D displays and graphics cards.

    sucks if you only have 1 good eye.

    @switchblade saints: Look at it another way - because one of my eyes is bad, my brain collects 3D data many other ways, including guessing distances from proportions and relative object sizes.

    In a way, we've always had 3D movies and TV - no special hardware required, the brain does it all.

    In reply to 3D TV: Blu-ray Looks Great, But What's Next?
    Don't forget Video Games! The only problem with video games is the double framerate, which is needed for smooth viewing and requires more GPU power. Stereoscopy really adds to the immersion when gaming.

    3D is not lame, and while it may not be as popular as it's proponents would like, it won't fail. It's been alive and slowly growing for decades!

    I wonder if they are watching Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and if its causing the same waves there that it did here. (Remember the alien shape shifter who came down and was doing the Sister?)

    @Americun MORAN©: I was a kid as well, and since my mother told me NOT to watch it, and it was so controversial that they wouldn't even air it till 11:30 p.m., I HAD to watch it then.


    (Nothing so alluring to a kid as being told they can not do something, or to adults for that matter.)

    @lpranal: I have to disagree... World War II's villian was WAAAY better than the Kaiser. Introducing Japan may have just been pandering to those complainers from the first one about how we could have kicked Germany's butt single-handedly, but it was still a nice touch to see that they're the ones who actually brought us into the war.
