Yes, it's true. Apparently "digital" is not the new buzzword anymore, "3-D" is.

The Crest 3-D toothpaste "system"

Do I have to wear polarized glasses when I brush my teeth in order to see the 3D effect? I can't tell from the packaging.

I use this Revlon 3D Extreme mascara.

It's about time. First it evolved into color and now finally into 3D. Soon all toothpaste will be in 3D.

Posted by Jonathan Smith (Member # 5609) on 03-31-2010, 08:29 AM:

Well, at least "digital" isn't as much of a buzzword, even if 3D is even dumber.

Maybe "3D" stands for something else, at least officially, with the toothpaste?

I remember, don't know if it is still made, as I shoot pro film now, when Kodak came out with "HD 400" film.

Since when *wasn't* film an HD product, maybe in the 1910s, or 1920s?

A couple of years ago I was in Egypt and had to buy some underwear (don't ask). The 2 local techs took me to a "superstore" which looked like Walmart. We were standing in front of the underwear display and they were trying to figure out what I wanted. They were opening boxes and showing me and arguing back and forth in Arabic. I was just standing back (still buzzing from my trip), and wishing someone had a video camera to tape this [Big Grin]

. Then I saw it, right in front of me, a pack of underwear which the writing on it was all Arabic except for 1 word. In bold print "DIGITAL" in english. Now the most comfortable underwear I wear is 100% Egyptian Cotton "DIGITAL" [Smile]

I remember when we bought our house - the real estate agent showing the house made note to show us the new DIGITAL water heater. [Roll Eyes]

I was thinking it would have a digtal LED or LCD temperature control, but no - it just had a sticker on it that said "DIGITAL".

Nothing really special about it. It still runs out of hot water after two people take a shower, just like the one at our old house.

You can only have HD display if you are comparing an image to something else that has lower definition. So until possibly the 50s when TV became a viable display, only then could film be called High Definition because it could be compared to TV. Without a competing lower definition display system, film was THE definition, period.

Posted by Jonathan Smith (Member # 5609) on 03-31-2010, 12:17 PM:

Umm, thanks for the technical explanation, Frank [Big Grin]

Seriously, though, if they wanted "high definition" films they'd be selling 100-speed in the stores still.

Idiots see these bigger and bigger numbers for film speeds and think they are better.

And yeah "digital" bothers me too. "Digital display" "Digital sound".

For me digital means easier to use but usually at the cost of precision and quality.

This may signal the end of 3D (again), when that term is being over used for stupid stuff like toothpaste.

WOW! Digital Speakers!

..bit hard though when the output is analogue. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 03-31-2010, 11:06 PM:

Anything with an lcd display is classed as digital.

I was originaly on that JML website looking for The Digital Frying-Pan i've seen in store.

Now you can have your taxes prepared in 3D!

Posted by Monte L Fullmer (Member # 2797) on 04-03-2010, 03:57 AM:

Wow, this all goes back to when "Cinerama" was the big word that really caught attention.

Thus the "rama" from the above word had to be used in about any form of product to make it big.

Aren't silly marketing schemes fun to have around?

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 04-03-2010, 09:56 AM:

Yeah - in fact I'm surprised Brad hasn't changed the name of this place to "iFilm-Tech 3-D."

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 04-03-2010, 04:16 PM:

The name change will come soon, but the site is already in 3D:

Posted by Monte L Fullmer (Member # 2797) on 05-11-2010, 07:52 PM:

(Had to go find some "Shark Boy and Lava Girl" anaglyph glasses to see how this look since Joe did the conversion...)

Pretty slick - the cursor arrow now floats above the page, or the page itself has sunk back about an inch.

Posted by Jake Spell (Member # 5294) on 05-11-2010, 11:11 PM:

Haha I had to do the same, i prefer the style of shark boy glasses. [Big Grin]

Nice conversion though, the mouse really jumps out at me. [Big Grin]

Posted by Ian Parfrey (Member # 5122) on 05-11-2010, 11:35 PM:

This is the end of Film Tech 3D as we know it.

These lousy post-production conversions just don't cut it.

We're doomed I say, DOOMED!
