New Blu-ray Disc to be Made of Corn

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the homegrown-storage dept.

aws910 writes "I've often thrown away a CD and wondered how long it will take to biodegrade. Pioneer has developed a blu-ray disc that is made of corn. If this disc is widely used, it may be the only easily biodegradable computer part/accessory (with the exception of pizza). Now I wonder what would happen to one of those new discs if you put one in the microwave for 5 seconds." While the idea of a corn disc isn't new, it's the first Blu-ray version of it.

    Sheesh how much more paranoid can you get? The source of R&D funding is probably coming from the guys that made this discovery. I seriously doubt that the RIAA would fund the media hoping that piracy wont last so many years. Come on, it's just an alternative to other medias and designed for throw away use. Long term? Get a normal Blue-ray of whatever, short term AOL-type CD, corn. You should have been moded funny or something.
