Optical disc offers 500GB storage

Interesting article on new archive and storage disk by General Electric.
Holographic and may be the way forward for 3D T.V. storage.

GE can go to hell!

Anyway, Blu-ray will be reaching that size shortly. I thought Halo-discs had more like 2TB capacity?

Same old optical story

Always a day late and a dollar short.

They're promising me $.10 a Gigabyte in 2012 when I get that now with standard HDD tech that can do 100+ megabytes per second read.

By 2012 we'll be buying 4TB HDD for $199
