And one of the best examples of such a forward-thinking company is Sony, who's quite active in bringing together its various branches and products.One of the best examples is the XMB (Xross Media Bar), an user interface that's starting to become the norm in the case of other Sony products, not just its ...

Since then, many things have changed, CES 2010 marking a full-out invasion of 3D display solutions coming from pretty much all of the big names in the TV segment.Being able to view 3D movies without ever leaving one's own home seemed just a distant dream a couple of years ago, but it's now closer than eve...
