'Matrix' idea patented by Sony

'Matrix' idea patented by Sony 04/07/2005 10:40 AM
Sony has patented an idea for transmitting data directly into the brain, with the goal of enabling a person to see movies and play video games in which they smell, taste and perhaps even feel things, it was reported today. The patent - based only on a theory, not on any invention - marks the first step towards a "real-life Matrix", New Scientist says. In the sci-fi film of that name, cyber-reality is projected into the brains of people via an electrode feed at the back of their necks. In Sony's patent, the technique would be entirely non-invasive - it would not use brain implants or other surgery to manipulate the brain. The patent has few details, describing only a device that would fire pulses of ultrasound at the head to modify the firing patterns of neurons in targeted parts of the brain. Sony Electronics spokeswoman Elizabeth Boukis said the work was a "prophetic invention" and no experiments at all had been done on it.

JVC Develops Dual Blu-ray-DVD Disc

JVC Develops Dual Blu-ray-DVD Disc 12/28/2004 11:10 AM
JVC has developed prototype read-only discs that can contain data stored in both the DVD and high-capacity Blu-ray Disc formats. They are the first discs that are able to contain data in both formats, a company spokesperson says. The discs contain three layers. The upper layer is a Blu-ray Disc layer with a capacity of 25GB. Below are two DVD layers with a combined capacity of 8.5GB, JVC says.

The company has not decided yet when the technology will be commercialized but JVC may produce the discs, says company spokesperson Fusako Adachi.

Just like the recently-developed HD DVD/DVD dual-disc format from Toshiba, JVC is showing a new prototype triple-layer Blu-Ray/DVD hybrid that puts a 25GB Blu-Ray layer on top of a coventional two-layer 8.5GB DVD disc. Dual format discs are hoped to ease the transition from DVD to whatever format will win the upcoming standards war (probably Blu-Ray).

The Professional Disc for Data 12/03/2003 01:20 PM
Sony's new high density disc format, the Professional Disc for Data, is about to hit. Not to be confused with the new HD DVD format that was recently adopted, the first PDD drive, the BW-F101, uses a blue laser to squeeze as much as 23 gigabytes onto each disc. Apparently the drives cost a ton, so they're aiming them mainly at businesses, rather than consumers. Sony says they'll have a next-generation of the PDD that uses 50GB discs in 2005. Read...

Burning Disc Labels with LightScribe

Burning Disc Labels with LightScribe 06/05/2005 11:45 PM
Glenn Fleishman (~910 words)

I back up my computers to hard drives using about a terabyte of storage (500 GB in each set). But these sets are incremental and rotate. I don't keep any permanent copies, just two separate aging sets. I also like to have some storage that isn't rewritable, and the new dual-layer DVD writers that have come on the market can put about 8.5 GB on a single disc. It seemed like the way to go for the best trade-off on cost, permanence, and sheer capacity. The thought of burning lots of cheap CDs reminded me of those automated floppy disk loaders of yesteryear.
