Say, could you link to a source for the 'laser-produced incandescents' you're talking about? I'm very interested. I agree with you on many of your points, and would add that I have yet to find a CFL that can be dimmed for crap. I've tried 3 different brands of very expensive bulbs marked 'dimmable', and brought each of them back to the store the same day.

Hell, 3D barely maintains its status as a novelty in movie theaters,

actually, 3D is one of the only reasons to bother going to the theater vs. watching it from the comfort of my living room for a tenth the price. Some of the new 3D movies aren't too bad.
 

3D TV makes watching TV more complex and expensive without giving back much of value. The television is too casual a medium to complicate with shutter glasses. Until the free-standing 3D projector is invented, television should remain a 2D affair.

I agree with this.

You think libraries let you plug in Webcams and install drivers and talk and record video on site?

Of course not! Libraries will, if this kind of government participation becomes actually worthwhile, will install their own webcams and set them up for easy use by their patrons. Free of charge, because that's how they roll.

Maybe in your city. In my city, libraries get shut down because there's not enough money to keep them open and pay the teachers unions at the same time.
