New, Flexible CDs Arrive

Mortin writes "A company called Flexstorm has developed a new type of CD, dubbed flexCD, that is about 140 microns thick, 1/10th that of a normal CD, and most importantly flexible. The technical specs on this new technology are quite impressive, boasting a weight of only .6 grams on the flexCD 80. Producing a flexCD also only takes .3 seconds, less than that of a normal CD."

Best of all

Being so thin, it can be easily shredded, so there's no further need to keep your financial documents on paper.

Re:thin and flexible is great but...

The AOL CDs I get in the mail don't hold up very well either. They tend to break on the second or third (accidental) bending. They also scratch very easily, especially if I accidentally scratch them with a razor blade. Finally, after being broken in half and scratched, they don't make very good frisbees. I was kind of hoping for better things from this flexible format.

Jar Openers

Cool, If we could get AOL to send these out, I'll have a collection of jar openers to go with my coasters.

They can just give 'em out for free at Radio Shack!
