That's not actually true. It's something a gun supporter made up and has been repeated by gun nuts ever since. Check the stats - it's just not true.

There are a few things wrong with this story. Firstly, Australia didn't recently ban guns. They've always been strictly licensed but legal here. On the other hand they did outlaw private ownership of semi-automatic weapons a few years ago - but there was no noticable change in firearm deaths, either up or down.

I was at the eGames expo on Friday and tried out the 3d display. My thought was "Oh, someone's still doing the LCD shutter glasses?". It was just the same old technology from years ago as far as I could see. The only new thing was that they'd made a clever driver which hooked into DirectX so existing games could be used in 3d.

Sorry guys, there was no 2d->3d conversion at all.
