Porn Gets Its Own Home Set-Top Box
First there was VHS. Next came adult video channels on cable. Now they have a set-top box exclusively for porn. What will they think of next? Don’t answer that.
Miami-based entrepreneur Estefano Isaias is using the adult expo to debut Fyre, which he is billing as the first set-top box to deliver DVD-quality adult movies on demand to home televisions. The Fyre simply has to be plugged into an Ethernet port in a broadband connection. Another plug goes into the TV, and voila.

I feel porn, while the original "killer app" which sold the internet, has been rather left behind with current techinical advances.
"DVD-quality" and greater "definitions" are all well and good, but with porn there comes a point where too much detail is not such a good thing: you start to see the wrinkles, blemishes and carpet burns behind the vaseline-smeared lens and it all gets a bit..gynaecological. How much detail do you need to depict a cock or fanny? Personally, I start to feel uncomfortable when I can see details that the participants themselves wouldn't be able to.
Surely the next proper revolution in telly will - as most of the others have - be led by the porn industry, things like tailored content on-demand, instant access and interactive content - this HD business sometimes seems like rather a dead-end, considering the only other thing I watch a lot is animation, which equally benefits little from higher resolutions.

The only reason I am upgrading my telly to a HD one is so that I can play 360 gaems without the text giving me a headache. The idea of HD porn excites me not at all.

This. Super high def fanny sounds like a great idea, but in practice when I get a close up on my monitor it's about 12" and I don't want to see it that big, they really aren't that great to look at in quite so much detail.

I love the idea of on demand instant access porn, but interactive would make it seem too much like actual sex and ruin the illusion I got from the on demand instant access bit.
How about interactive porn that you can only watch after you've got it a bit drunk and spent all day treating it nicely?

I'd have to wait for the rophynol extension pack for that one.
