- Gates is 9 years older, though - and had much longer to play with his fortune. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 09:45 1

      - Yeah I have a nVidia SHIELD that I use for that kind of stuff. -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 10:04
      - Can you elaborate? What does the Chromecast do in the context of NHL Playoffs? -- nm - Mop Jul 27, 09:43 2
        
        Let's me cast NHL.TV to my Samsung tv (which didn't have the app and the PS4 version runs like hot garbage). -- (edited) - Shaun Jul 27, 09:44 1
        
        Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. -- nm - Mop Jul 27, 09:45
    - yeah, i have an Apple TV, i don't really want a Chromecast. -- nm - Andie Jul 27, 09:39 2

Imax will be playing more blockbusters in 2D on their screens, citing a moviegoers' "clear preference" for 2D in North America. -- (link) - Ender Jul 27, 09:05 6
- I'd be happy if they stuck to movies that were filmed in 3D and 70mm. -- nm - Mop Jul 27, 09:45 3

    - Yeah, movies shot in IMAX format are sweet. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 10:24
  - But then they would not have nearly enough movies to play. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 09:58
- signed 2010 -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 09:14
- I really think 3D is just not worth it in most cases. The conversion process is not that great and for me, it's a pain to wear 3d glasses on top of - sycor Jul 27, 09:11
