Blue-Laser DVD Formats Wars
killmore notes a story running on ZDNet talking about incompatible blue laser formats of Blue-Laser DVDs which can store 36GB of data. The new format is from Toshiba & NEC and boasts backwards compatibility with the current standards for DVDs.
which can store 36GB of date. Now I can fit my whole schedule on one dvd.
which can store 36GB of date
/.-ers could render a pretty hot date with 36GB of storage!
Sounds like
when is someone going to post how to exchange the amber/yellow led on front for a blue/red led?

I hate it when I'm in the middle of a date and I have to swap discs...
The government's moral compass is controlled by GPS.
In times of crises, they alter it to suit their needs.
Thousands of slashbots stare at each other in bewilderment.
"What's a date?"
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
I doubt even full-screen video of every date the Slashdot community has been on would amount to 36 GB. :) ba-da-boom! hey!

An incompatible format that boasts backwards-compatability.

That's a lot of date! Who would need that much fruit? I bet they will wish they had an iLoo after eating that many dates!
I was all ready to fire off a clever remark about the date typo, but all the subscribers beat me to it! Damn you, /. subscription service, you're obstructing my quest for high Karma!
Who cares how much data or what data format it can store! All I want is to remove the top cover of the drive and replace it with plexiglass, mod the computer case so there's also a plexiglass so the pretty blue laser light can actually shine through the case. mmm...
Of course, this is quite expensive, unless someone can show me a blue laser that I can attach to the computer that will automatically point towards the eyes of whoever snooping over my back....

Mmmmmmm....36GB should give me more than enough room to do everything I ever wanted to do on a date.
Yes, even that. Mmmmmmmmmm.
special edition dvds? How is Peter Jackson supposed to sell two versions of the same movie two times only four months apart if they're both the same number of discs?
In the interest of compromise and back compatability, do you think we can merge the red and blue technologies for something more purplish? That way, everyone's happy!
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
...which can be mounted on the top of a shark!
I want sharks with frikkin blue lasers
AOD or BluRay ?
Easy choice- "BluRay" sounds a billion times cooler.
Like what is "AOD"? "Attack of the DMCA"?
Pfff.
