Full FeedRitek touts 10 layer HD DVD, Blu-ray media
10 layer HD media? Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have it, and we owe it all to Ritek. Available in both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray flavours, these delicious discs offer up to 250GB of storage… Not bad a for a few inches of… well… whatever these new fangled discs are constructed out of. Who knows… perhaps corn? Back to the point, Ritek have really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this one.
According to Engadget, we should all go and “forget single-layer media, that dual-layer stuff that was all the rage last year, and even the triple-layered discs that got announced just days ago.”
All-in-all, a major shock announcement! The fact that Ritek boasts that they can apply their technology to both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is a nice little bonus too. No word on pricing or availability, but in your face, Toshiba.
RelatedInk-less Pens Available
Grand Illusions have created some very modern, stylish inkless pens, based on methods used as far back as medieval times.
Looking not much different from most other stainless steel pens, the only difference is that instead of the classic pen nib we’ve come to expect, a solid metal one awaits instead. Due to massive demand, the pen is currently out of stock, but more are expected soon. According to the manufacturers, on standard paper, the pen leaves a similar effect to that of a graphite pencil, with one major difference. No smudges, and rubbers don’t stand a chance. With no ink to use up, the pen can supposedly last forever, but after heavy use, I imagine that the metal alloy would wear down eventually. Priced at just $30, the pen is poised to be a major hit.

Recently, Lego has been trying their very best to appeal to the geeky crowd, as we’ve seen with their fantastic Lego Mindstorms set. But it seems that some fans were unimpressed, and took matters into their own hands.
We’ve already seen the incredible feats that can be performed with the newest Mindstorms NXT packages, but did you know that you can open up a bottle of beer using these spiffy little packs? It seems so as in this video above, you can see the home-built Lego beer opener. The device is slightly larger than conventional openers, and is also a lot slower. But this kind of enthusiasm could give birth to a whole new generation of home-created Lego devices. What next? Let your imagination decide…
