You gotta remember that the decision to shoot movies at 24 fps is an artistic one. If you go higher than that then what you're watching stops being entertainement and something more like real life. Have you ever watched any of those European PAL 60 fps shows? They're just way too real to be enjoyed. Reality needs to be abstracted in order for it to be entertaining. Here's another example: have you ever watched a documentary of a movie being made or something along those lines? You know, a 30 or 60 fps film showing the director shooting a scence for a 24 fps movie. That scene looks totally boring and hyperrealistic when seen at 30 or 60 fps, but all of a sudden when it comes out in the movie theaters at 24 fps it comes alive. Why haven't painters everywhere been replaced by photographers? Because people are bored of reality. They want something interesting to look at. They want art, dammit. That's what movies are - art.

Home hydrogen refueling? Yeah right, like that's ever going to become mainstream.
Nothing new to see here people, just another concept car/idea that we've been seeing for ages.
