...this would be pointless if the entertainment industry weren't also taking a new look at 3-D. The recent spate of 3-D movies on the big screen - G-Force, Monsters vs Aliens and My Bloody Valentine all had 3-D debuts this year - foreshadows a similar spurt on the small screen. Blu-ray discs, which have the storage capacity necessary for high-definition 3-D content, and their players are becoming more affordable, and Panasonic is working with movie studios to release 3-D editions of movies, timed to coincide with the first group of TVs.

...coming elections will determine how Germany decides to nurture its fragile recovery and address other central questions of economic policy. If Merkel manages to form her preferred coalition with the FDP, the new government would be less likely than the current grand coalition to intervene to bolster big industry, choosing to stimulate the economy instead with tax cuts and investment incentives.
