Toshiba To Launch No-Glasses 3D TV This Year

angry tapir writes "Toshiba is readying two 3D televisions that can produce images with the illusion of depth but don't require the user to wear glasses, the company said Monday. It will launch the televisions in Japan in December. Toshiba will offer a 12-inch model and a 20-inch model. They'll cost around ¥120,000 (US$1,430) and ¥240,000 respectively. Toshiba's new TVs have a thin sheet of small lenses in front of the display. This splits light from the screen and sends it to nine points in front of the TV."

Or maybe you meant "raison d'être."

I always find it amusing when someone uses French, or even moreso Greek or Latin, for something that is more easily said in English to sound intelligent. It's a sure sign they're not very intelligent at all; the purpose of language is communuication. Using a foreign word hinders communication.

There are occasionally times when there is no corresponding English word, but those are few and far between and usually are sooner or later incorporated into our bastard language. "Resason for being" in an English conversation is intelligent; "raison d'être" in an English conversation is as stupid as asying "reason for being" to a Frenchman in a conversation in French.

"Raisin Daters" is so damned stupid it's hilarious, as it is always is when someone tries to look smart and fucks it up.
