Television has been trying to cram
3D technology into our eye sockets ever since it realized that offering some kind of gimmick with their product could distract some audiences from the fact that it sucks. 3D TV will only impress three groups of people: children, heavy LSD users who are out of LSD, and the people who helped bring it to a Best Buy near you.
HBO, however, has done something much more interesting and creative with interactive entertainment by applying the 3D concept, not to just the screen, but the story and characters. I hope you've got lots of newspaper down, because your mind is about to blow.

So what's getting the most buzz from the Digital Hollywood conference? It's not Apple or Google, and for some reason it's not even TV Squad. It's what the rest of us are talking about too,
YouTube.
The site still doesn't charge a fee to watch videos and it still doesn't accept advertising, but everyone is vying for a piece of the action and is wondering what they can do with it. The site was undoubtedly helped (helped is putting it mildy, actually) by the uploading of the "Lazy Sunday" video from
Saturday Night Live.
