I agree and disagree.

My first programming language was Motorola MC68000 on the Amiga 500. I must admit, programming languages are easy once you know what the code compiles into.

However, object oriented programming was very, very alien to me. There are some programming topics that can't be taught by learning assembly alone.

This will be awesome for 3d games (first person shooters).
One image per eye, producing a 3d scene.

I imagine generation 1 will look weird with all the images being in focus, even though the Z distance varies.
With a little more work, generation 2 could detect what you are trying to focus on - like those eye test machines do - and produce a more realistic scene - blurry in the background, sharp foreground.

It would be cool to hit a key and have the scene zoom on what you're looking at.

He's mostly right, except for the bit about free.

Honestly, I'd pay somewhere between $1.00 and $2.50 for a movie, if it were HQ-5.1 and instant play, like youtube.

Because it's more convenient to download a movie, and play it on my media player than aquire and load a DVD, so I choose that medium.

The movie producers leave me little option than to download illegally.

Yes, I've seen the stores, their selection sucks.
