3d Tv, Greatness or a Headache ?

Is anyone buying this? the prices are crazy high. The question to ask is ” is there a button to turn off  3d mode for just in case I have guests over and not enough glasses”. 3d videos are a great tech, but it kind of flops for me after about 10 minutes. I get headaches and my eyes feel crossed for days after.

I am sure that at one time some company was working on an LCD lens that worked kind of like a hologram and would produce a very three dimension looking image. What happened to that ?

Truthfully, not much is going to beat HD. LOL uselessness. somethings you have to say ” why would anyone fall for this?”. i mean come on. If you need some sort of glasses that allow you to see better definition…. See an optometrist.
I certainly will not be buying one of these to do the full evaluation. The price is way out of my budget and the possible out come and effects on me far outways my desire (minimal) to even try watching these.

Compact Disc is 30 years old

Happy birthday! 1979-2009.Thirty years. Pretty amazing that it’s been that long since those crazy Dutchmen at Philips spun the technology off of laser discs as part of an optical digital audio disc demo in Eindhoven.

It sure has come a long way from a peice of plastic that would orange peel.. wait, they still do that.

Well it came a long way from back when they called them “indestructable” to  almost obsoleted by it’s grand son the blue ray, or hd  disk that holds nearly 100 times it’s 700 mb capacity.

Thank you compact disk for creating this wonderfull peice of junk that skips or silences every time I hit a railroad track.
