Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

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.

    Original part of the headline:
    Blue-Laser DVDs which can store 36GB of date.

    Is that all one date or a bunch of little dates?

    (and who says geeks can't get dates)
