Take it from Snee: A wish for a 3D world

We are on the verge of a technological breakthrough.

No, not whatever they’re doing at CERN. And no, it’s not a cure for some stupid disease like foot cancer. I’m definitely not referring to the invention of a truly renewable and efficient fuel source.

Glasses-less 3D television is right around the corner. That’s right: no more stealing those Real3D shades from Pixar flicks, hoping each time that they’ll be the ones that work with your TV. (They kind of smell, anyway. Or maybe I do, and they smell like me?)

Wait a minute, that’s pretty much declaring your allegiance with the enemy. Sudan, we’re coming for you!
