@Jordan:

Actually, they're doing exactly what needs to be done if you ever want to see 3D in the home without glasses. The method of transferring the information from the disc (in this case, BD3D) to the screen is what needs to become mainstream. At the point it gets to the screen, that's where the left and right eye problem need to be solved, and where manufacturers need to put some serious R&D. But why should they? With your plan, the first company to succeed will be bankrupt because they sunk all their money into R&D for a technology which blows away the existing glasses solution in the home, but because you can't actually buy anything that *IS* 3D, all you can watch are your 2D movies. So those of us willing to deal with the glasses for now will help push the technology and delivery platform ahead, and those of you who can't stand the idea of "technology in a wheelchair" can sit this out while the rest of us hobble forward with the only technology available at the time. BTW: Do you own a car? Shouldn't you wait for the flying car or teleporters? It's transportation in a wheelchair... It's not nearly as convenient as being beamed instantly to your destination.

@(Unverified) You like counting on your hands, don't you? But agreed, most people use them for illegal purposes. But it comes down to making something illegal because it *can* be used for illegal activities. Should we also outlaw DVD and CD burners?

Ok, I've read enough of the same comment, I want to correct mteastham...

@mteastham: Obviously, you're also too undereducated to understand water intoxication. Because someone warns you "too much of anything is dangerous" doesn't make the slogan a useful catch-all warning. You've clearly stated "she should have realized that drinking massive amounts of water, and not peeing, would lead to water intoxication". I hope you're not an actual doctor, because as others have also pointed out in other threads, it has nothing to do with holding your pee. You can die of water intoxication while peeing every 5 minutes from when you started drinking the water.

She was not aware of the dire risks involved in what she was doing, and the station was. The station chose to ignore those risks, because it wouldn't have been as much fun. And in a marathon? They normally have EMTs or first responders readily available to help reduce the risk of injury and death to participants.

The difference between left frame and right frame is actually very small. Take your camera, and take two photographs outside, of the same thing (like a tree or a house). But between them, move the camera to the left by 2 inches. If you're really steady and did it right, you'll actually find the photos very difficult to tell the difference. Only subtle changes between the two frames. It's those subtle differences our mind picks up. It's far more different if you're looking at something up-close, but for most things, it's really very similar.

Sadly, no, you can't lay on the couch, even with circular polarization. Normally, when you tilt your head to side, the left-right separation of your eyes becomes up-down separation. But because it's a film, it doesn't realize your sideways, so while the glasses don't "fail", your brain does.

Just give everyone a free gaming console!

Because Apple can't get it out of their head that software can be profitable. They believe themselves as a hardware company first. And to use their software, you must use their hardware. It's the same question as to why they refuse to just sell Mac OSX for standard PCs?

Don't forget that it was Apple's very own Safari that had a remote-code execution exploit which first jailbroke the iPhone, and it was done by simply viewing an image.

Mine launch system just died last week, no warranty... Sucks.

@Elijah: That's not hard to do. Apple has a problem with some of the Macbook/Macbook Pro lines which cause the screen to show lines. They handled it under warranty, but that's still a faulty Macbook.
