BSkyB To Launch 3D TV Service In 2010 95

TheSync writes "The Guardian reports that BSkyB will launch Europe's first 3D TV service in 2010. You will need the Sky+ HD set-top box, and a '3D ready' TV set (glasses-based stereoscopic system such as LCD shutter glasses or polarized glasses). Note that the first 3D TV service was from Nippon BS Broadcasting BS11 for use with Hyundai 3D sets."

I use gobby a lot at work for collaboratively editing latex documents with my co-authors. I particularly like that it is cross-platform, so I can be using linux and they can be using windows, no problem.

It just doesn't have an undo feature, which is frustrating! And some weird bugs occasionally.

Well to be fair, 0 F was supposed to be the freezing temperature of water when fully saturated with salt (I believe), though it turned out to be less than 0 F later. 100 F was supposed to be body temperature, which of course isn't quite right.

I like Farenheit because of the finer divisions per integer and the 0-100 intuition, but moreso because I grew up with it. Oh well.

Lets switch to metric time while we're at it, what's this 24/60 crap?

If we're talking about price, keep in mind that the cost of a 22 MP is about the same as a 12 MP sensor of the same size, given the same fabrication process. It's the area of silicon used that matters, which is why DSLRs with their larger sensors are more expensive (and of course, larger sensor = higher SNR = good). I really hope companies will start pushing point & shoots to have bigger sensors/photosites, thus starting a sensor size race, which would actually be beneficial.
