100GB triple-layer Blu-ray discs
Panasonic has 100GB triple-layer Blu-ray discs, but who cares
Yeah, I guess cramming 100 gigs onto a triple-layer rewritable Blu-ray disc is nice, but seriously, whats the point? Physical media is a terrible idea, especially right now, when the future is all in the cloud.
Panasonics sexily named LM-BE100J BDXL Blu-ray discs are a special edition of single-sided discs capable of holding up to 100 gigs and being rewritten over and over. Neato. Theyll cost you $120 each when they go on sale in Japan in April. Oh, and theyve also got a special scratch-resistant coating to help prolong the time until some accident renders them totally useless, destroying all of your data at the same time.
