I don't think thats a very likely timeline if the current thought becomes true, where as at some point between 2010 and 2015 nanites will be created. Plus a fully functional AI by 2025.
There are way too many problems with this ball. First, how do you simulate flat surfaces when you are moving freely in a ball like that? Wouldn't you essentially always feel the curves of the inside of the ball? You would always feel like you are running up hill and on a smooth surface.
In my opinion, feeling is just as important as what you see when it comes to virtual reality.
Second, is the problem I see with the possible hatch. It would have to be made out of extra thick glass and an extra strong latch. Mainly because of the pressure of the person, if the person were to step on it. If my engineer's brain serves me, stress would effect the arc of the ball much greater from the inside then if the pressure was from the outside.
Plus the many previously stated problems with the sphere, by other/.-ers.
Growth is meant to discribe just the addition of new customers buying new computers.
Growth does not mean total sales or sales to those people who already own a computer.

The other white meat.
We don't need to ask why you watch Pinky & The Brain. It's obvious that you are just doing it so that everyone gets there fair share of Nielsen ratings, right? Or was it because of the more adult oriented humor?
