Straight out of Fallout, <a href="http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/periphera ... 139075.php" target="_self">Gizmodo</a> is reporting that Maxell is going to start producing holographic disk drives.
 
<blockquote>
The war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray continues to chug on endlessly
without a true winner. But we say “Screw em”, because Maxell along with
InPhase Technologies is coming out with some dope shit using
holographics. Using cartridges (read: floppys), the new technology will
support up to 1.6TB
with data transfers at 120MBps. Yeah. That’s a lot of storage. You
could just go apeshit with <strike>Netflix renting every single movie and
making a best of Edward Norton collection all on one disk
</strike>your music, movies, and games all on one disk. It could even replace
your hard drive if you think about how fast and big it will be. Don’t
expect anything huge before 2007, though. Here’s what the technology is
expected to be:
<blockquote>“Holographic recording technology utilizes
intersecting signal and reference laser beams to store data in a number
of 3D hologram images capable of saving hundreds of data pages in a
single location. In principle, laser beams can be moved with no
mechanical components, allowing access times of the order of 10 µs,
faster than any conventional disk drive will ever be able to randomly
access data.”</blockquote>
</blockquote>
What's next? Plasma rifles?

I've always said that holodisks are the way of the future.

they should advertise them like:

'HOLODISKS - AS SEEN IN FALLOUT.'

Yeah, smart idea.

It's cool though. Very cool.

Its about time. I remember when they were developing this technology like 20 years ago.

1.6TB should be 1600GB, which is a lot of porn.

Now why does that article remind me of those crappy low-res star wars holograms?

look guy, if most of your porn (as mine is) is a plain woman who needs money having pretend sex with a plain man who needs money just as bad, please spare me the lessons in human reproduction. porn should be about quality, never about quantity. or volume. or density.

Actually, quality equals volume in this case and my porn are true hi-res works of art, not some phony quick release in a filthy LA garage.

Look guy, there are only three things important in porn - beauty, acting, and the camera man. You don't NEED a pretty girl, you don't NEED for her to do anything more than spread her legs, you don't NEED an experienced camera man who thinks closeups are for asswipes clinically obsessed with human anatomy. But unless you get it, who's gonna buy your video? There are tons of trash like that out there.
