I'm beginning to think that Anatole France had it wrong when he wrote "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread." Even the pose of law as something that is to be rigidly and impartially applied is something that is only adopted when it's not inconvenient for the privileged.

A case in point.

I think Nintendo has a better idea of this sort of spectacle-free 3D technology than TV makers do... the person who picks up a handheld system that delivers 3D effects only to one person who is positioned within the right range isn't giving up anything to get this effect, as that's how handheld gaming devices work in the first place.

On the other hand, people don't invest the big bucks in a new state-of-the-art home theater set-up "for personal use", they do it so they can have friends and family over to share in the act of watching or playing.

Basically, I can't see this as a step forward for 3D TV, a step away from its past as a mere gimmick. I think it's going to reinforce its use as a gimmick.

...my last post seems to have actually accomplished its goal. I got a flurry of questions in my inbox, very few of them were something I'd consider inappropriate or unanswerable. None of the very few ones I deleted were way over the line in any way.

Good job, internets. Have a trophy.
