High Definition Comes to Computer Screens

From IMDb.com

"Saying that "HD [high definition] on the Internet is not imminent: It has arrived," Akamai Technologies has launched TheHdWeb.com, to demonstrate its new system to deliver high-definition video to consumers reliably. Akamai indicated that its high-definition technology requires distribution by servers deployed within the networks of broadband providers so that the HD signal can be close to the end-user."

I didn't mean that; I meant just the mere fact that true 1080p high definition video (and hopefully audio) will be able to be viewed or found on your computer.

I've had high definition on my computer screen for years, must have missed something.

This just re-illustrates what I've said to people all alone about downloadable HD video.... it's not something coming to the mainstream anytime soon. How many people do you know that have a 7.5mbps connection? I know exactly 0. There may be providers offering such connections soon, but not on a wide scale.

Anyways, need I say more? Downloadable HD content will not overtake physical media in the near future.
