Factor EMR and external microwave sources into the equation, and you'll speed up the process.
Microwaves are EMR.

Microwaves are EMR.
True, although a distinction may be made regarding their sources:
Microwaves from Cell Towers.
EMR from electromagnetic fields emanating from high voltage wires, circuitry, appliances, etc.
Either way you look at it, we're all getting cooked.
Agreed.
OMG imagine the terrible consequences of holding a Samsung Galaxy to your ear.
That's scary
I still will argue that I see it as being the future 10 years out. Right now disk are going to rule the day. The techology for bluRay was known about back during DVDs. The problem was blue Lasers were very hard and very costly to make. Hell first bluRay players the crystals used for the bluLasers had over a 50% failure rate during productions so that was part of the reason for the very high cost.
As for the reason I see flash being the future in 10 years is we are just going to hit a lot of physical limits when it comes to the disk. First you have space limit but a larger issues is you will hit a bandwith issue on how fast we can transfer the data off of the disk. Take CDs for example. We have been at the limit of pulling data off of a CD for 10 or more years now. 52x is just a physical limitation we just can not spin the disk any faster before failure issues.
DVD drives have not increased in speed in a long time. Disk are spinning at max practical speeds. I am willing to bet bluRay disk are near their limitation as well in disk reading speed due to max spin speed of the disk.
That bandwith is going to be part of the reason we will leave optical media and move on to flash is will will be able to pull that data off of it faster.
It just needs more time for price reductions.

No damage is done unless it is used for a prolonged period of time, or somehow the temperature raise is permanent.
i wish people would stop calling it piracy, when it isnt. such an old school term.
it certainly won't be dead by then! Super-Hi Vision is dated for about 2015 - 432p (or 8k). hopefully BDs will have enough storage capacity by then (in the 10s of TB).

You mean that ridiculous format that Philips has been pushing. 21:9 or whatever it is?

The target date for Super Hi-Vision is 2025.
no. its just 2x the size of 4k, which is the a VERY current format. 8k isnt that far away.
source? it was first demo'd in 2003 for crying out loud, and i dont think that BDs will be used in 2025 - holographic probably will though.
I think the poster was referring to holographic data discs, not holograms like on star trek. As far as I know holographic discs have been built, as prototypes only but still.
500GB holographic discs tested/demoded in 2009
basic experiements using different materials for HDs (holographic discs) 1996
basic methodologies of reading data from HD 1999
yes i was
i would be delusional if i thought startrek was real they will be around shortly20MB/s is achievable with HDs of 300GB, 120MB/s for the 1.6TB discs (writer costs $18k, disc is $180 each). i cant find where you can actually purchase one though. (link)
i see this technology as a very big BD competitor.
The problem is that Apple gives you beautiful mittens -- they look great and keep your hands warm, but don't ask for dexterity. E.G. Blu-Ray.
In the era of the iDevices and the withering of the Macintosh, this has never been clearer. Take all the "can't"'s on the iPhone. At first, you can't have a 3rd party app (thankfully they bent). Can't have free wifi hotspot creation like droid. Can't have wireless sync.
Your argument is already torpedoed by real life -- the PS3.
We already have a console that was among the first Blu-Ray players. It has from the beginning been one of the best Blu-Ray players as far as features and picture quality, and early on was cheapest. It has proven more flexible than stand-alone Blu-Ray players as it is updatable via firmware -- thus it has grown from a profile 1.1 player to a profile 2.0 player and will grow again to a 3D player. No other stand-alone Blu-Ray player can say that, with stand-alones you have to buy new hardware.
Even the XBox 360's dead HD-DVD add on pioneered new ground -- converting the new high-res audio to DTS over SPDIF for one; VGA 1080p for another.
You can get a primitive hologram like projection with mist and laser arrays.
Though, the picture is only 2D.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back! That convinced me that Apple makes horrible products. I am going back to beautiful windows machines from Dell and HP. And for sure I am trading in my ugly 27" iMac that clearly ripped off its design from this beautiful Lenovo.

I never realized what a terrible decision I made to go Mac. Wow - I was fooled by Apple!!
Note: This was pure sarcasm. Apple products have made my life easier. Plus no other company has products that come close to Apple's elegant aesthetics. With Apple I have products that "just work" and they look great!
And just how long have you and Mr Jobs been dating?
And just how long have you and Mr Jobs been dating?
SO... when were you dumped by Jobs?

A case company that came close to having Apple's aesthetics was Lian Li, then they decided to make gamer cases instead. Lian Li was the only company that got Accent Lighting right IMO.
You can google the demo events. 2025 is NHK's target for broadcast. Nobody is even talking that it will be available as physical media.

The day of the big bag of hurt speech. The same day he dumped many hundreds of thousands of Apple's pro high end high ticket flagship content creator users.
Chickens are coming home to roost.
