Sony and Toshiba better move out the way, well at some point in the future. Their technology is so old…

Press releases are for housewives and little girls, man. COOL people (who know math, man!) don’t NEED to read the press release, because anything they say is true.

For instance, the new Holographic thingummy runs on tyvek envelopes and the tears of a rare Nigerian fruitbat.

Aaaaah, bup bup bup, no need to check the press release! It is true, for I have ordained it.

“What? Maybe my math is different from yours, but if the disk would hold 1.6TB and a single sided dual-layered dvd holds 9GB then that means one disk would hold the same amount of data as 177.77 dvds, not 63. If you were referring to dual-layered double-sided dvds (18GB) then the disk would hold the same amount as 88 dvds.

Just pointing out your shitty math.”

maybe he was talking about a regular single layer dvd fitting in the 300gb disk which would be the first thing available to consumers.

“The first generation of holographic media with 300 GB of storage capacity and a 20 MBPs Transfer Rate is scheduled for release in late 2006.”

but you knew that because you’re oh so smart and read the press release…

Nitpick: “tera-” is “T”, not “t”.
