My guess is more like 5 -- they are going to have to figure out the copyright implications -- but thats still sweet.

It looks like tweaked optical technology. Although they are calling it a holographic disk, how would you actually project a hologram without recording scenes using perfectly aligned cameras on the X, Y, and Z axis? I don't think that is what they're offering.

You lost that ability when CD speeds rose over 8x. Remember that incident?

i'll be happy when we get away from the 'cd' format to some other solution that has a longer shelf life and no concerns about being scratched. maybe something simliar to compact flash, just much much muhc cheaper :)

Holographic media makes for some nice press releases every couple years. I'm not holding my breath for a consumer oriented version.

Beat that suckas.

I'm gonna give this its own thread since it pwns your thread.

How the hell do they jump from less than 1gb of storage to over 200 times the max size of any other car the same size? HOW!?!?!

My favorite part about MMCs is the ability to touch with one's genitals.

I know. The tough part was fitting those 200 Cavaliers into the disc casing.
