Earlier this year, Sony Corp. and another Japanese company, Toppan Printing, said they had developed a paper disc that can be destroyed with scissors for fool-proof data security.

The article says they're coated with resin too strong for human teeth to break through, so I doubt a Coke would have much effect. The real question is this: when will AOHell start using them? :P

They also said it's what? .001 somethings thin? I'm sure I've got plenty of scratches deeper then that on my CDs. ;)

I just want to clarify a couple of things.

1) this is not a cd
2) You never saw this before because it was just announced. Read the pressrelease date (ace you too)
3) this is "BlueRay", a different media all together.

/nitpick

There probably was some corn cd you saw. Im sure of that. It's seems I did too. But it wasn't this.

yeahyeah "it's not a cd because blah blah blah doesn't meet the guidelines blah blah, philips has a fit blah blah".

i'll still call them cds. i even call DVDs cds. as far as i know blueray cds are normal cds, just more densely packed so they can only be read with blue lasers instead of red, since blue has a much shorter wavelength and goes better with white shoes.
