This time's a bit different though. Not only are we talking about double the resolution again (so an exponential increase), the frame rate has to go up too, else you get screen tearing. When HD first came out, it didn't stretch the current limits of hard drive technology, nor was it really a massive leap for PC monitors to meet the new resolution.
 
Yes the market will adapt, but the chances of it happening as fast as it did for 1080p are extremely low. 4K is going to be the next big thing for quite a while yet.

It's the same everywhere really. Not a single snowflake can fall on Greater London without half the British press running a story about it, meanwhile in the North of England and Scotland, it could be 10 feet of snow and the media wouldn't even blink an eye. It's all about perspective, and the world experience of a journalist stuck working in a dingy skyscraper all day is very limited.

Here's a full list of web features that 3.6 doesn't support and FF 12 does. If you use a website that employes any of those technologies, you'll lose some of the experience you were supposed to get.

And web developers won't care. I think this is an important note. Old IE users (6/7/8) make up a large enough chunk of the web that legacy support for them is considered a higher priority for most, but FF 3.6 users are very much a minority, so you can't expect any support going forward.

And by that I do not mean cameras and facial recognition. I'm thinking about in games and books where the characters had strange hair and make up styles. Now, it's becoming plausible.

I looked through the photos, and immediately thought they looked like people out of some futuristic sci-fi show or movie. And then the penny dropped. Now we know why everyone in the future looks like that.
