    companies get it wrong
    « on: June 30, 2010, 03:47:11 AM »
    stirred up a bit of a hornets nest with my last post explaining, in my view, how companies have got it wrong in going down the 3D road for tvs. replies came across very supercilious, and bigoted, especially from $, is that ok for you . You have, like the companies got it wrong, as you in time will see  :-X

    How could they get it wrong when it's only out a few months?

    on the bright side, I see you were able to keep the caps lock off.

    stirred up a bit of a hornets nest with my last post explaining, in my view, how companies have got it wrong in going down the 3D road for tvs. replies came across very supercilious, and bigoted, especially from $, is that ok for you .

    I did pose several questions (ignoring the last part about otters wearing monocles and stuff) such as:

    Quote
    have you taken a survey? what were your results? remember, you can't say that the companies want you to become Nazi's, because that's called tainting the sample! don't do it! If you didn't go out and take a survey, then I'm afraid you are trying to project your own opinions as those of some fictitious set of people. Not cool.

    because you said, quite certainly, that:

    Quote
    PPL ARE NOT GOING TO SIT IN THWIR OWN HOMES WITH THERE WIFE N KIDS(IN MY CASE) N WEAR THEM SILLY GLASSES, EVEN IF THEY LOOKED HALF RESPECTABLE, THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.

    Now, I may not be an expert on statistics, but simply saying what people will or will not do does not make it accurate. it's still a handwavy assumption that you are using to try to drive some sort of argument that this is a bad idea. It's always best to present facts, not opinions. What you presented was a set of opinion's based entirely on what  you believe people will do, not what they actually would do.

    Did the "big companies" "get it wrong"? nobody can say. What you are presenting is an opinion that they did, without any sort of facts to back it up, just generalizations "people won't do this" and "people won't do that" etc, without any sort of evidence that actually supports your claims about what people will or will not do. personally, I've never liked the whole red/blue steroscopic type thing. I've always thought they were dumb and have a pretty similar opinion on that to yours, but, that's where the similarities stop. At no point to I decide that everybody else regards these things the same way. it only takes a few seconds of real thinking to realize that these technologies have existed for quite some time and it's only by demand from people who actually want them that they remain and grow. And since I neither really much care about it and don't have the resources to actually ask people and find out what they think about it, I, and, you, also, are in no position to say wether the companies are making a "bad move".

    These "big companies" on the contrary, have these people called analysts who actually talk to people to find out how they regard the technology and what they might do. and would like to see from it. (as opposed to sitting in their house making assumptions about what they think and do). If they didn't think it was lucrative, they would never have attempted it.

    I'm not apologizing if you found either this or my previous post supercilious or bigoted, because I really don't care what you think. Either keep your opinions to yourself or actually have some facts to back them up if you're going to post it on a forum in some sort of attempt to convince others. And if you don't like the "conflict" that results when opinions clash then don't invite people to the party with a post about it. And then, when you find that there are people in the world that don't hold your exact same opinion and threaten to destroy the very basis of how you came to your original conclusion (everybody thinks like I do) all you have left is an argument to the tone of I am right and the entire industry is wrong.

    Look at the link. you'll note some similarities between yourself and the gary fellow. Notably:

    You have, like the companies got it wrong, as you in time will see  :-X

    You will find this out, on this frame issue, as time ensues

    I suspect you used to be a professor, too.


    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      There are a lot of what companies thought were lucrative opportunities scattered all over the place that didn't take of this, in my opinion, is one of them, calm down fella, its only an opinion. I'm sorry you don't take kindly to people on your web site who cant back up their thoughts without any proof, but were would that leave me if I wanted to talk about the after life, I have no proof to back that up, so does that mean Icant talk about it, surely I can give my opinion on it without been told to keep it to my self.where in my posts do I say I didn't like the conflict, if anything, i like the thought of getting you at it, so I must be doing summat right. Dito about your opinions ;D LOTS OV LUV STEVE ( DARN STUCK AGAIN)

      At this point in time, there is only a limited amount of 3D content, so people with 3D TVs only need to wear the glasses only for limited periods of time, probably to watch movies like Avatar.  I don't think that will be a big problem for most people.

      Today filming in 3D is a very complex and costly process (remember Avatar cost something like $500 million to make) so it will be a while before any regular TV shows, or even most movies, are done in 3D.

      Did you pass English class?
      I am going to be completely honest: I did not understand a word of what you wrote.
      If you take a little more time thinking about your ideas, and write them properly, then perhaps people will listen and take you seriously.

      No, probably not.
