You can't exactly say that the industries are entirely disparate. Many blockbuster movies become video games, and we've had a spate of video-games turned movies. Which industry are they a part of? Where does their revenue count?
It's pretty hard to have an objective statistic with these two industries.
Submersibles as we have them now have a line to the ship to feed electricity and data. In case of the submersible failing, they can be towed to the surface.
But what would happen if the submersible lost contact with the ship? If there was a power/electrical failure? Thats quite a bit of pocket change lost to the sea.
Turn off phone, pop out battery, then say the battery died.
Or, if you're really paranoid, stun-gun the cellphone.
It's not just necessarily parents monitoring teens. Its anyone monitoring anyone. Besides, if my parents tried to monitor me in this fashion, I'd just skip town.
"After a double-digit decline in worldwide factory revenue in 2002, to $44.3 billion in server sales, the server market has stabilized, and preliminary 2003 results show the server market growing 2.2% to $45.3 billion," said Lloyd Cohen, research director of IDC's Global Enterprise Server Solutions group. "Much of the excess server inventory generated by the thousands of dot-coms going out of business has been absorbed, and the demand for additional IT equipment has returned."

So in essence, people got smart. Linux servers cut costs. Companies need to keep costs down to prevent themselves from imploding, as they all did in the boom. So, with the industry back on the upswing, they choose the cheaper and wiser option.
Fabric (n): A complex underlying structure: destroyed the very fabric of the ancient abbey during wartime bombing; needs to protect the fabric of civilized society.
A method or style of construction.
A structural material, such as masonry or timber.
A physical structure; a building.
If this stuff is supposed to be used as transistor material, I wouldn't call it a fabric. I'd call it transistor material.
In any case, a 1-atom thick sheet of this stuff isnt just a 2 dimensional 1 atom array. Its probably structured so it looks remarkably like either the structure of diamond of those of buckyballs. Which would make it damned stronger than the stuff in your pencils.
