BIOS is dead? and 3D is born!

Its come to light that the BIOS mechanism for booting up a computer is soon to be overtaken by a much faster alternative called UEFI, BIOS originally was only designed to be on about 250,000 machines a number that has been exceeded exponentially.

In other news, BSkyB (or Sky as you know them) have launched an official 3D channel!. For those that don't know what 3D actually is, it is the transmission of 2 images caught by 2 seperate camera's that are mounted either next to each other or on top of one another, this gives the impression of one eye seeing one image and the other eye the other.
Once filmed they are then broadcast to the users television as a single broadcast, where the images slightly overlap each other. Until a specialised television is designed for this specific purpose, silly glasses have to be worn in order to fully appreciate the 3D experience.

Look out for a post next week containing some 3D footage (I MUST IMPRESS THE FOOTAGE WILL NOT BE FROM ANY TELEVISUAL BROADCAST OR DIGITAL MEDIA INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO CINEMA FILMS, DVD'S AND VHS/BETAMAX)

Until then,
All for now
Dan.
