New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label

way2trivial writes "Wow -- remember Yamaha's DiscT@2? now HP has a invention to use the DVD laser to etch the flip side of CDs and DVDs. I own a nice Epson to print on CD-R/DVD-Rs, it does full color -- but this looks impressive as hell, even if it is in monochrome"

    ... just wait for all the US IT jobs to go over to India and then watch the salaries rise as employers compete over the labor pool. You'll have all the rupees you need to buy all the cool toys you want! Right up until Tata and Wipro begin offshoring your jobs to China and the Phillippines for 10% of what you cost them.
