People should learn math. Tripling a resolution means tripling the total number of pixels on a screen, not tripling the number of rows and columns of pixels.
So, tripling a 1920 x 1080 resolution would give you something in the neighborhood of 3326 x 1871, assuming 16:9 aspect ratios. This seems like a natural progression, given there are 27" monitors being sold with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 currently, but as others have mentioned, there is 0 likelihood the display manufacturers will get that kind of pixel density by mid year.

[citation][nom]filmman03[/nom]well considering that we have the Canon 5D and 7D cameras, it isn't impossible, however probably unlikely this year or next.as far as the Thunderbolt, well that's good news for those Apple Fanboys, they will get to use the tech a year after its released w/ the new line of Mac's![/citation]
it's too bad 3D is being thrown at consumers. people want higher resolution not stupid glasses or crossed eyes. Maggic eye for your tv....

Personally, I think this is a PR facade. If they wanted faster connections, they could easily do it. After reading all of the news releases in the past and now, they are slowly increasing the speed of the connections so consumers have to buy and then re-buy more components. Simple yet effective!

well im not positive but since normal fiber has an attenuation length of 1000m couldnt this technology be increased for use in telco applications? I mean using this in the data center would be great to replace cat5 but if it cant scale up to telco level of usage its pretty limiting in its ability to be used for the stated purpose. Sure I can transfer my entire MP3 collection in 10 minutes to my 10tb NAS drive but I still have to download an album in 20 minutes from iTunes over my atrociously slow cable modem.
[citation][nom]dark_lord69[/nom]They are talking about short distances like in your home... That's all fine and dandy but ISP's can't go anywhere near that speed.My ISP Connection:6 mbpsThis Technology:50,000 mbpsI guess I just fail to see the need for this technology.OK, so you've got a new 4320p HDTV I don't think blue ray can do more than 1080p so a new player would need to be released and perhaps you could connect a PC or tablet to a computer for an insanely HD picture but as I said.. I fail to see a need for it and for TV's that are even HIGHER definition. I'm fine with my 1080p.[/citation]
Just because you don't necessarily or absolutely need this technology right now doesn't mean you won't use it in the future...
Could we have all lived without the internet back in the day when the original BBS existed? Did we really need the internet and the associated technologies associated with telecommunications?
Are you just satisfied with what you currently have only because you haven't seen what lies in the future (assuming the end of the world isn't in 2012)?

Sure, you may not need it right now due to limitations of broadband but off the top of my head I can think of at least a couple examples where higher speeds are most certainly welcomed: computer animation, cloud computing/server farms.

What kind of fiber are we talking about here. Current fiber can easily go 50km or longer, its the optics that are the limiting factor.

"He also indicated that the new tech will also cost less to build because the components will be created using existing silicon manufacturing techniques."
The translates to larger profit margine for the manufacturer. New tech NEVER costs less than current.

I like the sound of this. I just bought my first hdmi (1.4) cable yesterday. Technically, I don't even need it right now. It just enables me to have the main pc, secondary pc, and xbox 360 connected to the same 23" 1080p monitor all at once. I clearly see that this seemingly simple cable will be of even more use to me in the future. I'll eventually need it for a 3D television later this year.
Though I'm pretty late in adopting hdmi, I am a big fan of adopting new technologies as soon as (economically) possible.
I have cat5e cables running from the router to the attic into a gb switch so i can wire every room in the house. Currently, I'm not using the switch but 1 bedroom is completely ready to go once the renovation is done.
My hope is people will see these future techs and immediately start daydreaming about how they will personalize it to suit their wants and needs. I imagine a home where every appliance, television, cablebox, or other device knows each other in detail as well as the owner to truly customize the home of the future.
You want a high definition 3D holographic image (in any room of the house) of a french maid greeting you as you return home? I dare say I think we're getting much closer. ;-)
I'm waiting for one of these big tech companies, intel, amd, nvidia, and others like them to innovate and share some great new tech for the world to use as it sees fit. One of em needs to stand up and shout that they're aiming for the betterment of all rather than profit margins. Just share one great thing like the one mentioned in the article and I'm sure over the long term you will reap many benefits.

I do not understand the relevance of Canon cameras to TV's (with resolution above 1080p).
The only one with 63 megapixels isn't something with one big single display though and it is nothing new:

Wednesday during a press event in New York, Jeff Demain, strategy director of circuits and system research at Intel Labs, said SHUTUP who cares about who said it just tell me the new and save your some time by NOT saying who said it....
Every time I read something like this they got to put the name in just give it a rest and tell us the news.

Telco's already use fiber. The node your cable modem connects to has fiber. Going from 100m to 1000m is a large difference and probably requires a much much more expensive light emitter. The whole point of ThunderBolt is to be cost effective in a $10 consumer device, not a $20k telco rack.
There's nothing stopping telcos from using the TB interface to connect from your house to the node, assuming you're within 100m. Then they could use extremely cheap parts.
