For years, people have talked about getting three-dimensional television into homes.  However, aside from DVDs of 3-D movies and the occasional gimmick night of programming, there’s no real headway.  The problem with 3-D is that the process of making the image three dimensional requires a lot of processing power and a special process to convert images from flat video into that red-blue/blurry 3-D film stock.  However, HDlogix is developing a new process to create 3-D on the fly  and they’re testing it on the biggest HD TV in the world:  the scoreboard at Cowboys Stadium.  Lucky fans at this weekend’s Dallas Cowboys/San Diego Chargers game will not only get to watch a football game, they’ll also get to see the world’s first live 3-D television broadcast!

If anyone’s going to do this right, it’s going to be the NFL.  If anyone’s going to spend a crazy amount of money to be the first and best at something, it’s definitely Jerry Jones.  He’s always had a flair for the dramatic, and this kind of stunt is right down his alley.  It’s going to happen this Sunday.  I’m interested in seeing what HDlogix’s ImageIQ process can do, aren’t you?  I’ve always wanted some 3-D TV.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
