  I'd take that bet, and apparently so will one of the largest graphics card manufactures: Nvidia. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Overview.html Does this mean that we will see widespread private 3d video next year? Probably not. But consider the seemingly limitless storage potential of...

• Commented on Moussavi the architect
  Fascinating! Although, it is important to not romanticize Moussavi. Architecture was a side project for a true political insider. http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/spytalk/2009/06/mousavi-celebrated-in-iranian.html#more...

• Commented on Palin hears rally attendee call Obama "n-word" during speech, keeps on truckin'.
  I agree with Lucretius and various others around the web, it sounds a lot more like "redistributor". Granted it's not a real word, but it makes more sense with the context of the speech. Just like with backmasking in songs,...

• Commented on Fake Disney movie trailer for the Sarah Palin story
  While the video has its funny moments, it has very little of the subtlety or earnestness that made the original Matt Damon quip work. Damon's comments on Palin come across as sarcastic, but in a way that showed his genuine...
