...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.

...hurting others. I'm from a family of six boys, so I know what fighting is among siblings. What you learn is that if you're fighting with a younger sibling and you squeeze him too hard, he screams, and you stop. Dogs learn the same thing. When big dogs play with small dogs, they learn to restrain their strength. If you don't learn that, then you keep doing it, and actually you may gain benefits from that.

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. As Germany is the world's fourth largest economy and second biggest exporter, its economic management is of global concern.
