TV Bites: Holograms to Replace 3D Television?
· Who needs 3D television when you can watch a real, live hologram? That is the argument that Japan is making in its bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Japan claims that with $6 billion, it could allow audiences all over the world to watch a hologram of the actual game being played from the comfort of their home-country soccer field. The bid is also environmentally conscious: Japan claims that it would use the energy generated by cheering spectators to fuel the communications system. [NYP]

WHAT?! "Celeb Rehab" can't find people to sign up?
You mean a show that breaks pretty much every rule of recovery programs, seems to thrive on showcasing treatment members relapsing and sets them up to do so by making them move in and live with volatile ex-lovers while under-going detox is having a hard time finding people to join the group?
DIRECTOR: "I really like X for the role of X."
STUDIO: "Nope. We won't be able to get a bond. Did you see "Celeb Rehab"? They're a mess. Who else is on your list?"
D-grade celebs are always looking for a shot at screen time but higher-profile people? No way. (Not the smart ones at least.)
Holotv has appeared just slightly later than the 3D TVs. There is still a chance they could wipe them out because they will emerge in a few years at some of the Expos.
I appreciate you for this fantastic post. Together with the world cup coming about your are beginning to find far better posts on sports around the globe. Keep writing please. The world wide web needs it.
