Sony's Blue-Violet Laser the Future Blu-ray?
JoshuaInNippon writes "Japanese researchers from Sony and Tohoku University announced the development of a 'blue-violet ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser,' which Sony is aiming to use for optical disks. The new technology, with 'a laser wavelength of 405 nanometers in the blue-violet region' and a power out put 'more than a hundred times the world's highest output value for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers,' is believed to be capable of holding more than 20 times the information of current Blu-ray technology, while retaining a practical size. Japanese news reports have speculated that one blue-violet disk could be capable of holding more than 50 high-quality movie titles, easily fitting entire seasons of popular TV shows like 24. When the technology may hit markets was not indicated."
The only reason HD-DVD didn't take off was Not enough repeated letters in the name to be catchy. This time they'll try HHDVVDDBVD.

Oh, wait, I get it. This is a manly laser. It holds manly shows like "24." It will refuse to store shows like "Days of Our Lives" and "The L Word."

In 2005 there was some story that Steve Ballmer threw a chair. Every day since then somebody has made a +5 Funny post referring to it. According to Slashdot, if Steve hits a red light while driving to work, he'll throw a chair, and the idea of that is really really really funny.

Well... I personally think it is pretty funny that Steve Ballmer keeps a chair in the trunk of his car to throw out into traffic whenever he hits a red light but hey maybe I'm a bit odd...
Hoo brother, you have no idea how many libraries of congress this thing outputs.
An equally-large problem will be finding "50 high-quality movies" from the current crop.

Lasers were red, now they are blue.

It was my understanding that the industry as a whole was avoiding any media that would allow all of Uwe Boll's movies to ever be placed on one disc. Looks like sony's betrayed us.
