We have seen it in VHS (Video Tapes vs Betacams – Go google it, we can’t be spoon feeding everyone), Flash, Flash Movie (You think YouTube pioneered this didn’t you?) BlueRay and now 3D TV. Personally I am not so sure about 3D and i would even like the hassle. The panel don’t think so either but it’s still an impressive piece of technology and we think its the TV/Network/Broadcast industry is still trying, in their last breath to conquer the TV.

Let me say it now, the future of content viewing will be on the internet, the web and it will be on demand not dictated by any network or broadcasting company. 3D success will depend on that. Give us your feedback and let us know what you think

update: 19th Jan 2010
#yorais was trending on twitter for the same issues we talked about on the Podcast. Datuk Rais Yatim made a statement that Malaysians especially muslims should not be immersed in Facebook or Twitter and something called L-band. First of all can someone tell us what L-Band is?
