3D movies exploded onto the scene with the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, and most of the titles that are released these days will come with 3D support. Apart from ticket prices that are double that of standard 2D movies, one consolation is we need not pay more for the 3D glasses itself. Well, it seems that ticket prices for 3D movies might continue to rise after Sony sent letters to studios, asking them to foot the bill for RealD glasses that might cost anywhere from $5 million to $10 million for each blockbuster release from May 1st next year onwards.
Hopefully studios will not pass the cost down to us in terms of increased ticket prices, and instead, they will learn to absorb that cost. After all, the global economy is not that rosy anymore, and any further increase in the ticket price is just going to turn moviegoers away fro 3D matinees, and dropping ticket sales might end up backfiring on the movie studios in the end.
How much are you willing to pay to watch a 3D movie?

NFC seems to be the buzzword as of late, what with Google launching their mobile payment service Google Wallet which uses the NFC chip in the Samsung Nexus S in order to conduct their transactions. While Apple has been rumored to bring NFC support in their upcoming iPhone, a recently published patent suggests that Apple will be looking at other wireless technologies (apart from NFC) to create a electronic wallet of sorts.
Acer might not be the top computer manufacturer in the world, but that doesn’t mean it is going to sit there and do nothing about their situation. In order to maintain a cutting edge, Acer has decided to provide a shot in the arm, or rather, processor, with their low cost Aspire One range.
Are you an artist or designer that requires a graphics tablet in order to get your work done? If you are, the brand Wacom is probably one that is very familiar to you, and the good news is that the company has recently remade their line of tablets, which they are claiming will allow you to get the most range possible for touch input.
Next up is the Capture which is the same size as the Connect, with the main difference being that it also adds multi-touch support for finger gestures in apps and operating systems that support it, such as Apple’s Mac OS X. It will come with programmable buttons and will be bundled with Adobe’s Photoshop Elements. Unlike its predecessor, this generation of Captures is said to have faster input sampling which will help improve accuracy. The Capture will be available for $100.
Last but not least is the Create, which is targeted at professionals and artists who require a larger surface area. It measures 8.5” by 5.4”, and its pen comes with a pressure-based “eraser” and will come bundled with Corel Painter Essentials, which in total will set you back $200. Both the Capture and Create will also have the option of adding on a RF wireless module, which will allow to use tablet wirelessly, although it was not specified as to how long you will be able to use it for before charging. The RF wireless module is expected to cost $39.
If you’re going to win the smartphone race, concentrating on the high end market alone is not going to help you emerge victorious among your rivals, although it might let you pick up some accolades along the way if you’re consistent at the high end side of things. Well, Microsoft certainly knows this, and while their Windows Phone 7 handsets have been pretty impressive to date, there are new specifications being leaked about a lower-end chassis that will comprise of the Windows Phone line-up – and a rumored minor update for Windows Phone known as Tango could very well be tweaked to cater to low-end devices.
Nissan has teamed up with the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland (EPFL) in order to develop a new kind of mind-reading vehicle technology, which in due time, might even usher in hands-free driving. Who would have thought (pardon the pun) that you could actually direct your car using nothing but your mind in the future? I’m a bit wary of that though, since most of the times we drive without using our minds as everything is so mechanical already, so to have a blank mind or one that is concentrating on something else might not make your car go anywhere.
