If you have recently purchased a brand new TV set (a Christmas present for the family, perhaps), you’ll be pretty pissed off to hear this one. Commercially available 3D TV Sets will be available for sale to end consumers this year. It is expected that new 3D TV Sets will be only about $300 more expensive than same size flat screen TV Sets without 3D capability. You’ve heard it right – a 3D TV experience right in your living room. This is gonna change the way you watch porn forever.

DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said that his studio will release each of their new movies in 3D versions, because 2010 will be the year of 3D TVs. Sony, Discovery and Imax are joining forces to create the first fully 3D TV channel that could go live as early as towards the end of this year. HDNet owner Mark Cuban also said that his channel will start broadcasting most of its prime time and weekend shows in 3D soon. Disney owned sports network ESPN is planning to start with 3D broadcast on June 11, 2009 with the World Cup soccer.

The question now remains – which company has produced 3D TV Sets? People behind International CES – the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow said they expect Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi and Vizio to unveil their 3D TV models at this week’s show (takes place between January 7 and 10, 2010 in Las Vegas). Consumer trends analysts anticipate 3D TV Sets to become an instant hit. As many as 45% of household in North America may feature a 3D TV Set by 2014 – the analysts anticipate.

Mamma.com Has Mark Cuban Charged with Insider Trading

Mamma.com is a search engine that’s simply not making it (an impossible game nowadays). Mark Cuban is a multi-billionaire that’s simply making it. Mark owns Dallas maverick NBA team, an HDTV cable network, HDNet and few other successful ventures that push his worth to nine digits. Today however, Mark Cuban was charged with insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with sales of Mamma.com shares. This is how it went down:

Mark Cuban purchased the stock of Mamma.com – a search engine that appeared to have potential but this game is firmly dominated by Google, Yahoo and MSN. Everyone else is simply out of on-line search game. Mamma.com, despite what seemed as potential, didn’t make it anywhere. The traffic to Mamma.com dropped 66% within a span of last year which clearly showed that the website is a big loss. Mark Cuban first purchased Mamma.com stocks because he thought it was gonna be the next big thing and with low overhead it had, the purchase seemed solid. Now it appears as though Mark Cuban has used his insider information and got rid of Mamma.com stock just before it dropped avoiding approximately $250k in losses he’d have to incur had he not have the insider information.

This is what Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) refers to as Insider trading and this is what Mark Cuban is charged with. Mark Cuban allegedly sold his 600,000 shares after he learned that Mamma.com was going to offer new stock for sale. This offer would dilute the value of shares he owned so he liquidated them, committing insider trading crime.
