Often, the new technology is not consumed by the consumers until the content is present, while the media companies are not encouraged in providing the content until the consumers consuming the new equipment.

But already the TV’s from Samsung are on sale, which are converting the 2D signals to 3D in real time, which means that the consumers are already started enjoying the images that are leaping out the screen.

Europe’s 2^nd biggest electronics retailer DSG said that the TV sales are rising up to 50 percent every year.  However the spokesman of the DSG said that it is still in the early-adopter stage.

Samsung is the first company to sell the 3D TV this year, but the companies like LG, Sony and Panasonic are not just far behind.

Technology research firm ISuppli anticipate more than 4.2 millions of 3D TV’s are to be sold this year.

Interest in 3 dimensions is growing fast among the public and experts. The blockbuster movie “Avatar” has made interest for all people towards 3D TV’s.

ESPN had used the world cup “soccer” for launching its first 3D channel and the president of ESPN Reuters said that it had a great success with its coverage.

And in Britain, BSkyB, satellite broadcaster and its majority shareholder news corp are making its huge bets on 3D.  And by this year Sky planned to launch a 3D channel.

Robert Kerr, projects consultant said that when the price of the 3D TV goes down to 1200 pounds I won’t hesitate in buying 3D TV.

In Britain, the 1^st Samsung TV was first sold in March for a price of 1800 pounds, and also 150 pounds for 3D glasses, which will be picking up the alternative images for right and left eyes.

Already some of the models prices are fallen down to 1000 pounds which includes the whole kits including the 3D glasses.

GLASSES CONUNDRUM

Generally, the new consumer technologies are considered to reach a blast-off point when 20 percent of the populous has it.

Imforma believes that the 3D TV will be taking off only when the need to wear 3D glasses is been removed, which may happen after the year 2015. However the IEEE’s Lipoff is saying that it may happen within 2 or 4 years.

Recently LG started providing 3D TV which can be seen by wearing a passive glass which is cheaper and also lighter than the battery-powered active-shutter glasses

But the TV sets are more expensive because of the intricate works done inside the TV set, which costs $2,200 in U.S.

This year, in Las Vegas, a new technology has been found that we can view without 3D glasses but only it can be viewed from particular angles.

Video and neurobiology expert Sean McCarthy said that “Not wearing 3D glasses might be more constrain than wearing 3D glasses”

Michael Cherry said that he is not sure about the origin of the leak of the slides. He said it is possible that the leaked Windows 8 slides are created by a person that wants all the features in the interface.

Cherry suspected that the slides are from a fake source because it has a date stamp of April 2010. The slides were first posted on Win7Vista.com by a Windows fan. Later, Stephen Chapman reposted it on the blog. Many news blogs had accepted the fake news as a valid news.

Michael Cherry said that the false leak slides cause 2 dangers. First of all, the Windows fans are giving people a wrong idea about the stage which Microsoft is in. When people see the slides, they may anticipate for the features that probably won’t be made available by Microsoft.

Cherry compare the false leak with the WinFS event. Microsoft once plans to use the WinFS storage system in Windows Vista. However, Microsoft was not able to incorporate the WinFS system because of a mistake that they encounter in the operating system. Due to the error, the team has the start the work all over again.

Cherry said that the slide is very interesting. However, nobody will know whether the features listed in the slide will be made available by Microsoft. The leaked slides also have a development timelines that is not labeled with dates. Cherry had created a rough outline about the development of Windows 8. According to Cherry, Microsoft will take at least 3 years to develop Windows 8.

The production of Windows 8 will start at fall 2010. The project is expected to come into completion by fall 2012.

The Windows Vista was delivered after the promised timeframe. One of the goals of Windows 7 is to deliver it within the allotted time frame. Therefore, Microsoft is sensible to set a three year time frame for Windows 8. By doing so, there is enough time to include all the features.

The developer created the Anti Theft Alarm app after being inspired by the world famous Viper car alarm systems. The app can be used in iPad, iPod and iPhone. If you installed the app, you will be able to set the alarm when you are about to leave your iPhone. If someone happens to move your iPhone, the alarm will sound aloud. After setting the alarm, you must quickly set it down within 5 seconds.

The app has a built in accelerometer. The accelerometer is able to detect movement of the phone. The alarm is a combination of 7 types of car alarm sound. The loud sound is designed to frighten the thief and bring attention to the owner. When the alarm sounds, the phone will vibrate. It also show police light animations. While the alarm is sounding, a car alarm message that says “please step away from the phone!” can be heard.

The app is useful for people that want to leave their phone in public place. If you are at the library, you can activate the alarm system to prevent people from stealing it while you are away. It is not suitable for people that are leaving their phone at home. Since you are away, you will never know if someone tries to steal your phone when the alarm sounds.
In addition, the app is easy to be deactivated. You just have to press the home button to deactivate the alarm. Therefore, the alarm is not effective and cannot be used to protect your iPhone in real life. It will work only if you are away to a nearby place and attending to it. The app does not recognize the owner of the iPhone. Anyone who comes across it can just press the home button to deactivate the alarm and steal it. Just like most of the app in the app store, it is a fun gadget that can be used to pull prank on your friend. The Anti-Theft Alarm app is for sale at $1 at Apple’s app store. It operates on MAC OS 3.1.3 and beyond.
