The technology, called DiscT@2(TM), is due out in Japan in July. The images print on to the CD at approximately 250dpi, making graphics as well as text possible. More info can be found at Yamaha's CD-RW site (in English) as well as at Akiba PC Hotline (in Japanese, with better pictures. Babelfish for suitably akward translation). No word on a timeframe for U.S. availability"

I drew plans about how to electrocute a co-worker using the tube from a computer monitor. I left it sitting on my desk when I went on vacation. It even had the coworkers name and some stuff that looked like amperage calculations (making sure the jolt was deadly of course). I heard my manager photocopied it and put it back on my desk.
I'm sure it wouldn't have worked....
