Apparently "digital" is not the new buzzword anymore, "3-D" is. The Crest 3-D toothpaste "system"  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I can't tell from the packaging.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-31-2010 07:49 AM                     I use this Revlon 3D Extreme mascara.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-31-2010 08:22 AM                        It's about time. First it evolved into color and now finally into 3D. Soon all toothpaste will be in 3D.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 201 From: Youngstown, OH Registered: Jan 2010 posted 03-31-2010 08:29 AM                     Well, at least "digital" isn't as much of a buzzword, even if 3D is even dumber. Maybe "3D" stands for something else, at least officially, with the toothpaste? I remember, don't know if it is still made, as I shoot pro film now, when Kodak came out with "HD 400" film. Since when *wasn't* film an HD product, maybe in the 1910s, or 1920s?  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-31-2010 09:24 AM                     A couple of years ago I was in Egypt and had to buy some underwear (don't ask). The 2 local techs took me to a "superstore" which looked like Walmart. We were standing in front of the underwear display and they were trying to figure out what I wanted. They were opening boxes and showing me and arguing back and forth in Arabic. I was just standing back (still buzzing from my trip), and wishing someone had a video camera to tape this . Then I saw it, right in front of me, a pack of underwear which the writing on it was all Arabic except for 1 word. In bold print "DIGITAL" in english. Now the most comfortable underwear I wear is 100% Egyptian Cotton "DIGITAL"  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-31-2010 09:58 AM                        I remember when we bought our house - the real estate agent showing the house made note to show us the new DIGITAL water heater. I was thinking it would have a digtal LED or LCD temperature control, but no - it just had a sticker on it that said "DIGITAL". Nothing really special about it. It still runs out of hot water after two people take a shower, just like the one at our old house.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-31-2010 11:39 AM                        quote: Jonathan Smith Since when *wasn't* film an HD product, maybe in the 1910s, or 1920s? You can only have HD display if you are comparing an image to something else that has lower definition. So until possibly the 50s when TV became a viable display, only then could film be called High Definition because it could be compared to TV. Without a competing lower definition display system, film was THE definition, period.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 201 From: Youngstown, OH Registered: Jan 2010 posted 03-31-2010 12:17 PM                     Umm, thanks for the technical explanation, Frank Seriously, though, if they wanted "high definition" films they'd be selling 100-speed in the stores still. Idiots see these bigger and bigger numbers for film speeds and think they are better. And yeah "digital" bothers me too. "Digital display" "Digital sound". For me digital means easier to use but usually at the cost of precision and quality.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-31-2010 03:17 PM                      |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-31-2010 07:39 PM                     This may signal the end of 3D (again), when that term is being over used for stupid stuff like toothpaste.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 03-31-2010 10:35 PM                     3D Cloths  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-31-2010 11:01 PM                     WOW!
