Virtually indestructable!

this how blu-ray and Hdtv are going to look about 30 years from now

[andybpiano]

This stuff seems so primitive now but it still amazes me how they "figured out" all of this technology in the first place.

@DoctorMobius When I was a kid they demonstrated CDs....took it out of the player, dropped it, stood on it, smeared ketchup on it....then wiped it off and it played perfectly. Modern CDs can withstand 'looking at' before beginning to skip and fall apart.

@NielsShoe For disk based that is

The major leap were making atm is rather than distribution via disk storage or even Solid State storage is distribution via the internet

while Blu-ray hasn't reached its full potential new technologies will surpass it before it does, it always happens and it will continue to do so.

@Krom456 This coming from a dude with Hitler as an avatar LMAO

@cuttock Except they're not worthless and Bluray at least is far from dead. Apple is hyping tech that is at least a decade away from being anywhere near the same price as optical and nothing new, like most of Apple's MAGICAL INNOVATICE POST-PC tech. It's just marketing hype, Apple was one of the major players in developing Bluray. Look past the hype, do some reading and educate yourself.
