Yes, three-holy-terabytes (3,000-gigabytes) of data on an optical disc the size of our regular CD-R might just be possible soon! Harvard researchers have developed an "optical nano antenna" which helps focus light from an inexpensive laser onto a spot size of 40-nanometers.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

Another studio has held layoffs, this time its Humble Games letting go of its entire QA team according to social media posts.
They will rehire cheaper labor during the restructuring. The stupid thing is that they are struggling and the first thing they do is lower the quality.
this will kill blue ray and hd dvd. cheaper and holds more data than either could hope for. or maybe they could use it on the other players.
Between this and holographic discs, there won't be a hd-dvd/blu-ray winner. This is fairly old news however.
..when you use this technology on a Bluray/HD-dvd player. if it can store 3 terabyte on a cd, imagine what it could store on a BD/HD-Dvd disk. but who the hell need that much space anyway, you could probably store all film ever made on such thing, and then again you can never get enough :P
would the power usage be extremely high?
These CDR's would cost way too much.These arn't even out of prototype stage.These must be a good 3-5 years off.These will never kill either Blu-ray or HD-DVD any time soon.
