The fact that SSDs are becoming main stream in the corporate world means that their prices should start dropping soon, which is definitely a good thing for the rest of us.
Even if they do use an open standard, there are other problems. Considering the trend in storage/speed expansion and size reduction, 50 years from now this drive will probably be the equivalent of a 2MB "super-density" drive from the 1980s that takes up the whole table all by itself and is incompatible with any computer that came out in the last 25 years.
I question the validity of this test. Yes, it's more meaningful to put a person in a virtual environment than give them questionnaires, but most of us assosciate virtual reality with video games. And in video games something goes wrong every 5 minutes, so I'm not surprised to see people expecting something to happen in the simulator.
I also doubt the fact that in 4 years we will be switching over. Nanotubes are still too expensive and hard to produce. Both Intel and ARM (cellphone chip maker) already have plans for 20nm technology which might be with us for another decade or so. If anything, in 4 years we will probably start seeing nanotube chips, but they will be an overpriced item for shoppers with deep pockets like solid state drives have been for the last few years until they started dropping in price.
The article claims copyright infringement because the tool copies the game into RAM? Does that mean that I can sue an Operating System developer for copying my application into RAM when it launches it? Does that mean any game maker can sue Cedega or Wine? This is ridiculous, Blizzard makes good games but this sort of ignorance on their part makes me wish i never bought any of their products.

Makes sense, how else can you get customers to use Vista unless you force them to.
Men, on the other hand, have no such pretenses. Often, "they try to show how clever they are by writing very cryptic code
It's called job security, bitch
