Bendy screens, 3D Web and Windows 8: We see the future of computing
Excerpt: 3D Web
3D laptops and desktops are already here -- but the only people spec'ing up to use them are hard-core gamers and toddlers watching Up for the umpteenth time. The real driver to push multiple dimensions into the mainstream will be 3D operating systems and the 3D Web.
Apple has already filed a patent for a 'multidimensional desktop' (we're guessing it's not referring to an ability to travel through time, although that would be nice) and rumours are flying of a possible 3D desktop and navigation in Windows 8.
The kickstarter for 3D websites is likely to be X3D, a 3D graphics standard that's trying to muscle its way into the HTML5 party. X3D is an open source effort that's already part of the MPEG-4 specification and is compatible with next-generation scalable vector graphic systems. Software teams are already working on a massive 3D model of the Earth, ways to animate people in 3D and developing new types of user interface so you don't try to push your mouse, like, into the screen, man.
Likely release date: First X3D websites -- 2011. 3D OS -- 2012. Mass adoption of 3D Web -- 2013.

New Television Series, Anomaly, Explores the Paranormal in 3D
Majestic 7 Media Partners, Ltd. announced today Anomaly, the world's first 3D television program to focus on the paranormal and unexplained.
Anomaly uses never-before-seen 3D night vision cameras and new production techniques to immerse viewers in the world's most unusual and frightening locations. The show's 1-hour docu-reality format is fast-paced and entertaining.
Anomaly isn't your average "things-that-go-bump" paranormal show, however. The show's host and lead investigator, Jack Kassewitz, brings the same scientific determination that he has demonstrated in his seminal research in human-dolphin communication. "The same technological advances that are helping crack the communication barrier between humans and dolphins will allow us to take a real, balanced and scientific look at the paranormal," said Jack Kassewitz. Jack and his team will continuously innovate and apply new research tools and protocols to filter out explainable phenomena and capture evidence of quantifiably genuine paranormal occurrences.
According to a Gallup survey, three out of four Americans profess at least one paranormal belief. "Anomaly is state-of-the-art entertainment that appeals to an astoundingly wide demographic," according to the show's creators, Majestic 7 Media Partners.
Anomaly will premiere in early 2011 on Next3DTV, an Internet-based 3D video-on-demand service, with broader distribution to follow. The first season will focus on the most reportedly haunted locations in the world. "You've gotta fish where the fish are," said Jack Kassewitz. "We're going to capture as much evidence of the paranormal as we possibly can - and we're bringing our viewers along for the ride."
A sneak preview of Anomaly (3D and 2D) is available now at http://www.anomaly3d.tv.
