If 2009 was dominated by touch technology then 2010 looks set to be the year of 3D. 3D has been one of the biggest hits of the cinemas this year and it is likely to continue its stride into other mediums during 2010, experts agree. TV manufacturer LG wants to sell nearly half a million 3D-ready TV sets next year as the World Cup kicks off in the format. Meanwhile laptops and games consoles are also getting a 3D makeover.
Acer has already released what it is claiming is the world's first 3D-capable laptop and most agreed it will be the first of many. One critic likened the screen of the Acer Inspire 5738DZG to that of a 1960's cinema "but in laptop form". Others have dismissed the 3D capability as a gimmick, but most agree that it will be the start of a glut of similar machines. Acer has created its 3D effect by putting a polarising filter over the screen which splits images into separate streams.
When combined with a pair of polarising glasses (and the laptop comes with a free pair) it allows users to view content in 3D. Some movie trailers come preloaded on the laptop; while software called TriDef 3D can add a third dimension to PC games, DVDs and video footage with varying degrees of success. Microsoft is watching developments in the field with interest. Julie Larson-Green, Microsoft's vice president of user experience believes the technology will play a major role over the next decade.
A 3D spatial camera inside a computer will offer a new way to interact with content. It will allow people to spatially organise things with older things farther away, she said.

We must overcome these difficulties and strive to become who we really are.
I remember reading a story about a wooden box that contained hundred feet (wooden of course) of different shapes and sizes and one "glass slipper" beautifully made. Try as u might the one glass slipper wouldn’t fit any of the feet. Then realization dawned the 'feet' represented the different people in the world and the 'slipper' the mould we are expected to fit in to. Imagine music with only one note. That how life would be with only one type of person.
Learning to love ourselves and learning to be you are two of the greatest things, we can try to achieve. Learning to love you is the greatest gift of all.

Many countries are having the warmest winter ever, the snow hasn't turned up in Russia this year, if this is a sign of things to come, and the future looks really bleak. The Time has come for the self-centered superpowers to make amends for their acts of greed and ignorance.

When our Mother Nature is hurt and angry at that situation, if we don't cool her down soon; a hot wet doom awaits us.
