What's the point in having such amazing densities? If all the material one would want to put on such a data storage device is locked up in some legal way, what's the point? Also if such a device comes to the market who needs compression? Imagine a non-compressed film at full academy resolution 2.35:1 aspect ratio, 3656x3112 pixels scanned at 4k. Of course we would need a display that could play back such a resolution. There is the IBM T221 (3840x2400)16:10 aspect ratio monitor but it only does 41hz. I would want at least 60hz refresh rate. Also music would no longer need to be compressed, I hate MP3 anyways. Hasn't anyone heard of sound quality? The quality of mp3 sucks. Give me uncompressed anyday.

He tells the truth and it is hard to hear the truth isn't it? It is easier to slam someone than accepting the reality of the situation.
