Paper CDs! The future is flat.

This is interesting.
Sony Develops Paper-Based Disc

"In a Blu-ray Disc the recording layer on which the data is
stored lies under a 0.1 millimeter protective layer and on
top of a 1.1 millimeter thick substrate. The substrate, or
basic surface on which a material adheres, is usually made
of a polycarbonate plastic, but the new disc replaces this
with paper. The result is a disc of which paper makes up
approximately 51 percent of its weight, Sony says."

"The paper disc can also be more easily cut with a pair of
scissors and that will make it much easier for users to
destroy discs, and thus protect their data, when disposing
of unneeded discs, he says."

Weird argument. If only this technology was available to
Enron. Dispose of your info easily. *snip snip*

You get shards of silver "confetti" everywhere though and
it's a pain to clean up :)

the spy community happy...

Self grenading HDs would probably be more use to them (and
peadophiles, hackers, people who use computers for white
collar crime, etc.). Maybe a BIOS option (passworded of
course)?

Mind you, if they became common, countries would start
legislating against doing it (even if they weren't made
illegal) in much the same way that refusing to give out your
private key is currently.

Too easy to damage, surely? If you accidentally folded one
in half it'd be fucked.
