Blu-ray Gone In Five Years, Samsung Claims 554
schliz writes "Samsung expects Sony's Blu-ray technology to be superseded within five years, despite winning the high-definition format war in February." Maybe that means five years from now will be the perfect time to stock up on cheap Blu-ray disks and equipment.

Maybe he's right, and BluRay will be gone in 5 years, but he's clearly smoking something.
The article says that BluRay is going to be huge for a while, but in the long term Samsung is backing OLED displays.
WTF?

And we all know, because we're moving up the spectrum, the frequency is decreasing. Therefore, products will come out quicker!
Jeeze!

Obviously every movie will be distributed in a dedicated OLED display.

Actually, the new display format (codenamed "Death Ray") will not only play movies with unprecedented levels of detail, it will also actively seek out and destroy older technologies. It is recommended that you put all of your old DVDs, BluRay discs, video casettes, and laserdiscs into a lead-lined safe and sink it at least 500 feet into the ocean prior to installing your new Death Ray player.

OLED screens are on their way out because internet speeds are getting faster and cheaper every year.
Intel will fail at selling quad-core processors because Logitech just introduced an optical 4-buttons mouse with a scroll wheel and a touch pad.
Microsoft Windows Vista will start selling like hot cakes once Windows 7 is out because it's going to rain on launch day.

In five years, physical formats won't mean a thing. Media Files will be downloaded if the infrastructure can keep up.

Aw, but Future [swannysmodels.com] is such great stuff! It makes a nice gloss coat for both before and after you apply decals... you can dip clear parts in it to get a brilliant shine that won't haze from super glue fumes... You can even use it to make small clear windows... It self-levels, you don't need to thin it before airbrushing it, it's dirt-cheap and available at just about any supermarket. Hell, you could even polish your floors with it, if you wanted to...
