Blu-ray is getting even bigger.

In October, Hitachi revealed that they have developed a four-layer Blu-ray disc capable of storing 100GB of data. WOW. And they aren't stopping there. They actually believe they can produce an 8 layer disc. The problem they are having is with the laser penetrating the upper-layers. The link to the story is below.

lol! it had better be big for how much they cost! lol!

The only problem I see is the speed (rpm) of the disk will be very high and require powerful (and expensive) drives. But the way technolgy is the blu-ray disk will become obsolete in the next 5-10 years

I would have posted this on the front page but I just didn't have enough info to provide a good story so I put it here. I am actually looking for news that I can confirm and is useful to everyone.
