Construction needs cloud flexibility

Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Porn to drive 3D uptake (please don't tell Sen. Conroy)

Your IT - Home IT

Having been the primary motivator behind VHS tape systems and eCommerce, the porn industry is set to become the driving force behind digital 3D viewing systems.

Perhaps it doesn't receive quite as much publicity as CES (happening this week in Las Vegas), but just down the road at the Sands Exhibition Centre is the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and for the first time a full turn-key digital 3D viewing system and content subscription service will be demonstrated.

One can only assume that Australia's pro-filter lobby will be falling over themselves to have it banned.  Unfortunately, that will probably mean buying the technology in order to properly evaluate it prior to lodging the complaint.

"For several decades, the adult entertainment industry has driven adoption of every significant new entertainment delivery system - the VHS home-video craze in the 1980s, the satellite television mania in the 1990s and the present day internet," said Lance Johnson of Bad Girls in 3D.  "2010 and beyond will be all about 3D.  Society's enthusiasm for 3D films is largely responsible for the record $10 billion in box office revenues in 2009.

"We want to bring this technology into the home and we will do this via a hardware 'bundle' that will work with streaming 3D adult content.  We are offering a complete turnkey in-home solution as well as a monthly subscription service.  You can log onto to Badgirlsin3d.com to purchase the complete hardware package and content subscription service.  From there, simply turn on your PC, log on to badgirlsin3d.com, put on the active 3D glasses and enjoy."

The press release notes that, "The potential of 3D adult entertainment was established long ago with the 1969 release of The Stewardesses.  The soft core film played in theaters for over two years and grossed an astonishing $27 million.

The theatre cleaning bill must have been enormous!  However, read on for how else the 3D technology will be used.
