Sanyo Invents 12X High-Speed Blu-ray Laser

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the twelve-is-way-more-than-eleven dept.

Lucas123 writes "Today Sanyo said it has created a new blue laser diode with the ability to transfer data up to 12 times as fast as previous technologies. The laser, which emits a 450 milliwatt beam — about double that of previous Blu-ray Disc systems — can read and write data on discs with up to four data layers, affording Blu-ray players the ability to store 100GB on a disc, or 8 hours of high-definition video."

    Does it bother you that gangs are pledging allegiance to Barack Obama? Does it bother you that they've promised a race war unless he is elected? Does it bother you that his policies looks very similar to those of Robert Mugabe, who crippled Zimbabwe's economy and induced famine by stealing white farmer's land to give to his thug buddies?
