Future Television in 3D format

A television system in 3D format that will provide holographic images could become a reality in our homes in a very short time, according to research conducted by a team from a British university.
Experts from the organization started a project funded by the European Commission to investigate the fundamental principles, technologies and practical in terms of placing on the market consumption of 3D TV systems.

Specialists in media claimed a few years ago that 3D TV will need about a decade to gain a significant share of the market. Recent discoveries, however, showed that a tridimesional television stereotypical with holographic images that do not impose the use of special glasses has come just a few steps to become a reality.
The research consisted in testing several technologies for the development and implementation of 3D TV, which would receive and display programs that incorporate 3D images.
Because tridimesional television will become a reality, researchers must develop a technology for creating programs that can be televised in this format and have the ability to transmit a vast amount of information required in the formation of a complete 3D images.
3D television could give consumers an experience more trained without the need of special glasses. Specialists say that besides changing the way in which we watch TV, 3DTV technology can be applied in other fields such as medicine, air traffic, military area, entertainment and more.

Mozilla is dependent on Google




Mozilla recorded revenues in 2007 increased by 12% and were in total 75 million dollars, of which 88 percent are generated by searches in Google, exactly 66 million dollars. Unlike the financial report done for the year 2006, the financial benefits of Google rose by 3%.
At the time of launching Chrome browser, Google announced that it will maintain for another three years marketing partnership with the Mozilla and Firefox. Thus, the agreement between the two companies will end in 2011, not this month as had been originally set.



The report for last year of Mozilla only strengthen the reason for which the company has agreed to extend the agreement: the profit brought by the giant search engine. Space search Google Toolbar Mozilla Firefox brings the company revenue every time a search is performed on Google.
Even if the browser Firefox is successful and used by many people, it is free, which makes Mozilla to be depending on the financial benefits offered by Google.
Some market analysts say that Mozilla has delayed financial report for last year just because they saw the need to make advertising revenue from Google, which only demonstrate that Mozilla is no more a non-profit company.
