A bit of fun on BBC Technology news today.
An interactive 3D film about a theory of the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, first presented to the public in a 3D theatre in Paris, has now migrated on to the home desktop.
To watch the film, one has to simply download a plug-in and don a pair of 3D glasses - although the software gives the sensation of depth without them too, to a lesser extent.

Why does this thing play whether you want it to or not?
I'm on a limited download and can't switch it off.

Rune, I recommend using Flashblock which halts all flash objects until you click on them to play them

That will cut down your download bandwidth and CPU usage as well.
Similar things are available for other browsers I think
