With every big movie in Hollywood coming out in digital 3D these days, it was only a matter of time before thta experience started coming home, into your living room. The big question on everyone's mind is... price. We know it will happen, we know it'll be soon but it would seem that no one knows the price. One thing is for sure, you'll need a new tv, a place to store your new glasses and quite possibly a new cable box too.

2 televisions stations, a gaming console and some blue ray players are coming in 3D in the next year or so...

Apparently a wide number of phones are reporting text messages coming in from 2016 as of January 1st. At least one phone carrier is immune which leads experts to believe it's an issue with phone carriers, not with the phones themselves.

But now, there's reports of a bank in OZ invalidating people's cards because it thinks they're from 2016 too!!

Micorosoft lead the pack with IE 6 for years until Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome all stepped onto the field to blow it away and MS has been struggling to catch back up ever since... and in true MS fashion, they've done the same with mobile as well. Microsoft Windows Mobile was the best mobile software around until Blackberry came around and even then, it still had the best applications... then along came the Iphone, then Android and Microsoft Windows Mobile has been playing catch up ever since...

First they released Microsoft My Phone in an attempt to finally have the online sync support that every other smart phone user has come to expect and now, they have Microsoft Marketplace.... does it offer the level of features and content that smart phone users have come to expect??

A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film.

The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films.

Fede Alvarez's short film "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.

It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186).

So far it has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.

"I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," he told the BBC's Latin American service BBC Mundo.

"It was amazing, we were all shocked."

The movie Mr Alvarez has been asked to produce is a sci-fi film to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina. He says he intends to start from scratch and develop a new story for the project.

"If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it," he added.

YouTube recently revealed the most watched videos of 2009. Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle topped the chart with more than 120 million views worldwide of her debut on the show.
