I don't know about anybody else, but me and my friends instantly thought that within 6 months to a year of Microsoft's obscene amount of money spent on Corel shares(here is the article), Corel would stop selling Linux software. Let's see.. That article was dated "October 02, @6:10PM".. Obviously me and my friends over-estimated Microsoft's anticipation to squash it's intimidating competitor, Linux.
Recently on slashdot, somebody posted an article about a new Sony CD Player (Click.) that dramatically increases CD sound quality. Takes it from 44,100 khz/sec, to 2.82mhz/sec.. Me and my dad got in a discussion about whether you would hear the difference or not.
It got me thinking, maybe we can't now, but if we start getting used to incredible sound quality, would we then listen to our current 44,100 khz/sec and be confused at how we used to listen to 44,100 khz/sec every day?
I started thinking this because if you listen to a lousy stereo system all the time, you get used to it, and it starts sounding decent. Then you travel to the nearest audio store, and listen to the newer, better stereos, you go back to the previous one and you suddenly realize how horrible your's sounds.
So is that the same as video? Sure right now we (supposedly) can't see above 72frames per second, but if our eyes got used to the 200 frames per second, would our eyes... adjust, so to say?

Sounds like you should actually LOOK at w30wnzj00.com.
