I don't have an opinion about 3D either way. My original point was that The Man keeps bombarding us with technology (DVD, blu-ray, 3D, Ultraviolet, downloads) that needs to be properly supported. All technology starts out as a status symbol owned by the few (hence my comment about teengers and people who queue outside Apple shops - both market indicators) but needs to move into the mainstream and appeal to the masses if it's going to succeed. I love my blu-ray player, it's one of the best things I've ever bought, but in my experience people haven't embraced blu-ray in the same way they embraced DVD. I can't pretend that's not the case. And I know lots of people who've talked about buying 3D TVs but didn't. That's not rhetoric, it's just my experience.

People set upon the article about blu-ray, and my comment about 3D, with real viciousness. I can't imagine wanting to drag somebody through the mud and belittle them over something as trivial as a disagreement over television.
