The sad thing about technology like this is that even if they manage to perfect it and make it a viable alternative to the current disc technology, it won't be available for a very long time.

The reason for this is that the MPAA and the RIAA have a stranglehold on media. They are the reason that double layer and dual layer DVD's are still so expensive. It's not because of manufacturing costs.

Just look at holographic discs. Where are they? I heard about them a long time ago and at least two companies promised products in 2006, yet mysteriously they are absent.

It's no mystery: it's politics.

I hate that spoon.
