Bluray is the new standard for the dvd movies, hd dvd player has lost.

Microsoft will change to Blu-ray.

The main constraints on modern computers is the need to use electrical impulses to convey binary patterns. Quantum/photon based technology presents us with the solution to this.

For some time, computer advances have been incremental. They are no longer coming in leaps and bounds. They are waiting on solving the next generation tech advances and until they do, this will continue to be a snails pace of creeping forward. Since all the easier advances have already been done, it will take the next break through to put things on track for large advances.

We are approaching the limits of material and space in microworld due to various constraints such as heat dissapation. Until nano becomes reality and not the tinker toy realm to demonstrate building basics, we are stuck with barely moving forward. Now the concentration is in dual processing and not so much increasing chip speed.

Storage increasing makes the computer good for long spaces by what can be held but not processing power to run through the material stored. Still any increases are welcome with open arms by the general computing world as it becomes reasonably priced to reach the market.

Colossal Storage say they will not be available till 2009. Maxell 2006. Hard Drives have been struggling with capacity increases, and even with perpendicular we still don’t see big gains.

They all sound good and the sooner any of these hit the shops the better.

If Maxell deliver in 2006, will I wait for a possible Colossal in 2009?
Obviously, I’d buy the Maxell. It’ fantastic news!

HD-DVD or Blue-Ray? If they swing round and go together and have in here by Christmas 2005, they may still sell a couple. Otherwise I’ll wait for Maxell in 2006.

Sounds quite complicated. I imagine any technological leap like this is always going to have teething problems.

Realistically, i don’t think the technology will be useable, for a few years atleast. 2006 seems a little early.

I hope they dont ruin a cool technology like this with DRM.
