Sony to debut 3D BRAVIA TVs by end of 2010, also eyeing 3D VAIOs, Blu-ray films, and PS3 games?

The Financial Times has it on good word what the major unveil in Sony chief Sir Howard Stringer's keynote tomorrow at IFA 2009 will, so much so that it's quoting him with phrases he hasn't even said yet. According to the report, the company is making a huge push into the third dimension, with 3D BRAVIA HDTVs hitting the retail channels by the end of 2010. Also on the menu is 3D-compatible PlayStation 3 titles (which we've kind of heard before), VAIO laptops, and Blu-ray movies, but it's unclear from the article if they shares the same 2010 timeline. Polarized glasses will be required for use, but hey, just consider it a fashion statement. We're now very anxious to see how close Sir Stringer sticks to this purported script for tomorrow's big event.

Who still uses "reach and frequency" as a success metric (and is willing to admit it publicly)? - http://bit.ly/pJRNP

Need to create a URL that disappears into thin air? VapURL creates a shortened URL with a shelf life.

Whatever your motivation for doing so, if you need to create a URL that has a fixed lifespan you can do so with VapURL. You plug a URL into the VapURL site or use the VapURL bookmarklet and specify the parameters of expiration. You can have a VapURL expire after a set number of visits, a set amount of time, or a combination of both variables.

Have a novel URL-tweaking service to share? Sound off in the comments.
