IBM has presented a new technology it expects to reach mainstream consumers by 2010. The new optical transceiver chipset will allow users to download information eight times faster than current technology allows :eek:

This means that instead of waiting 30 minutes to download a full movie, it would only take a single second :D

That's pretty cool stuff.

It takes me longer than 30 minutes to download a movie though!:eek:

Usually in the range of a couple of hours.

Lap of the Gods took three full days and then a week later my hardrive crashed. :cry:

You work for IBM and have a prototype!? :lol: :p

I guess you could but the quality would be so poor you would have trouble seeing anything :rolleyes:

I dont see why the quality would be that bad. Netflix now offers downloading movies on their site. I know people who download movies a lot and have been for awhile.

I know the quality isnt as good as a dvd, especially the new hi-def ones.

I still just prefer to rent the movie at the local Blockbuster.:D
