It is now more than just rumours, Netflix will be setting up shop in Denmark – Lovely, although I do fear that it will be a LIGHT version as the European right holders are notorious for being greedy and thus the titles online will likely be a lot smaller than the US version.
Anyhow, I just realized that there are actually services like Netflix for both Magazines and Games;
www.onlive.com
Is a gaming portal where you can “stream” your games, the game is actually run on the companies server and thus you only get the video streamed. You can sign up for a package that will contain a bunch of games, not as attractive as Netflix but still for younger kids maybe still worth while – you can also get a settop box and controller so you can play on your livingroom tv. Sadly of course its US only 😐 but with a VPN service and a little ingenuity you should be able to bypass this..

Is for Magazines what Netflix is for video, here you can pay a monthly fee and get access to a bunch of magazines. Sadly of course its US only 😐 but with a VPN service and a little ingenuity you should be able to bypass this..

Some of my friends keep telling me that 3D is only a buzz thing that will go away again, I must say I don’t think so, 3D although not as major a breakthrough as surround sound is fairly neat and once we get to the version without glasses people will be caught on the idea.. Myself, I don’t mind the glasses much, ok I do wear glasses daily and thus it’s same-same to me but the once they use at my local cinema tend to make things slightly darkish (it’s the Dolby once, those reusable once) – now I last year visited an IMAX cinema in China and those glasses were a LOT better though they tended to slip off the nose a bit.. so clearly 3D without glasses would be neat..

Do you recall years ago we saw this projection keyboard being showed off, often they were connected to handheld devices without a real keyboard. They would project a keyboard to a surface (eg. table) and you could they type on it by placing your finger where the corresponding letters were projected!?
Well the idea never really hit the shelf’s from what I could tell, at least I never saw a retail version – that is till now… ok ok, I admit I did not really look for one so they may have existed for some time, but now I came across one it seemed worth mentioning.
