But yeah....

After BR, the age of compact discs should come to a close. With antique recording devices, you have to be careful when handling it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anFtSTHWaSc).

With CDs, you had to be careful with them even though they were new. I like abusing flash drives and SD cards... down with compact discs.]]>Jun 27th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/

This is a cool idea, but as media gets closer to the limit of data that can be recorded by the frequency of laser that is used, it'll be impossible to add more info by shaping the pits. Perhaps this is what went wrong with BluRay.]]>Jun 27th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/Jun 27th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/

I do see a market of this product if they could get cd/dvd player makers to implement it. You could buy a CD that not only has music on a track that can be read by any cd player but you can have a v pit track with music videos or live concert footage. You could make dvd's that can play in a dvd player that also carries a HD version for v pit players.

"Another drawback, there'd be no way to make recordable versions of these. Lasers can turn on or off, but can't change shapes."

Your joking right, with adjustable lenses and mirrors there is definitely a way to make a burner, the question is is it worth it?]]>Jun 27th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/japanese-researchers-devise-method-for-cramming-42gb-on-a-dvd/
