"Until recently, most 3-D fare produced for non-IMAX movie screens was an afterthought, converted from 2-D. Monsters, however, was designed and filmed with added dimension in mind. … “There hasn’t been any real innovation in the moviegoing experience in many decades,” says (Jeffrey Katzenberg) the Hollywood honcho whose company’s output will be all 3-D from now on. “People want to be excited by something special and unique that happens in movies, something that can’t happen anywhere else.” All the better to compete with pimped-out home media rooms. Other benefits include cleaner prints and a deterrent to piracy. “Almost every movie would benefit from being 3-D, the way nearly every movie benefits from being in color,” he says, though the format has been best served by animation so far. “When James Cameron comes forward with Avatar, it will mark a whole new era of live-action films. When other filmmakers see what he has done, they will want to use it."

"A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network uses diverse connectivity between participants in a network and the cumulative bandwidth of network participants rather than conventional centralized resources where a relatively low number of servers provide the core value to a service or application. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and real time data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology."
