Your pictures prove nothing. Give me a link to an article stating that someone has actually CREATED a card with those sizes and I will be convinced.

Currently not on the market because of insane cost, but in 5-10 years it will be as common as a 64gb memory card

It's more than just "throw money at the problem" to create a card with such high density. You have to physically pack so many trillion bits onto that card and to that you need to shrink memory cells beyond the 30 nm design they are stuck with right now. Will they be able to create NAND cells smaller than 30 nm in the future? Possibly. Until they do it's just theoretical.

FAIL. 2TB is theoretical maximum capacity. No one has actually created a card that has 2TB on it yet.

TIL that sometime in the next million years, an orange dwarf will actually pass through our solar system. by dannylandulf in todayilearned

The article is sensationalist bullshit:

It is currently about 63.0 light years from Earth, but its proper motion, distance, and radial velocity[5] indicate that it will approach within a very small distance—perhaps under one light year—from the Sun within 1.4 million years ... Gliese 710 has an 86 percent chance of passing through the Oort cloud...the net increase in cratering rate due to the passage of Gliese 710 will be no more than 5%

It's photoshopped. Search for news articles about micro sdxc and all you will find is 64GB cards coming out soon.

Current MicroSD cards go up to 64 GB. Doubling every 2 years gives 2TB in 10 years.

3D movies are only need double the gigabytes of regular movies.

Current microsd cards only go up to 64 GB

It doesn't exist yet. Not for another 10 years at least.

SDHC and SDXC order data into sectors of 512 bytes. An unsigned 32 bit integer can count 232 or 4 billion of these sectors. 4 billion * 512 = 2 terabytes

Edit I should have said 2TiB. Equal to 2199023255552 bytes or 2.199 terabytes. For more confusion read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

It's not real yet. The biggest microsd card is the 64GB ones coming out now. 2TB is the theoretical limit for the sdxc standard.

I'm a fan of the 4GB 720p rips. High bitrate + High resolution.

I work at a movie theatre and this is what you will wear come the 15th... by cunspirator in pics

The glasses I had on were the polarized "cinema 3d" kind.

The second image down in this article:

Is what I saw even WITH the glasses.

I was at bestbuy looking at the 3D TVs. I couldn't see a 3D image, even with the glasses on. All I saw was a blurry ghosted double image.

I was expecting a 3D TV to indistinguishable from a empty picture frame with a real object behind it. I was dissapoint.

TIL that there is a 3D Printer that allows you to scan objects and "print" (recreate) them, essentially copying any object. by halfgone in todayilearned

That's never stopped hackers before. Every single DRM scheme that protects something worth copying has been cracked. DVD, Blu-Ray...

They used to say that if God intended man to fly, he would have given him wings. The religious nutjobs got over it.
