Welcome to the second week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of the Cynical Bastards!

For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!

For this episode, Steven and I decided to completely ignore TechCrunch 50 and take on mainstream technology with a look at the current Hollywood fascination with 3D. Why is it being applied to so many properties? 3D TVs look to be coming, will you buy one? 3D sports on television makes our heads hurt. What is the point to adding 3D to video games? You get the idea!
