Scratch This! Computers

Phillips has come out with a scratch resistant DVD that can take a lot more abuse than current DVDs. They also claim that this opens the way for DVDs that hold 10 times as much data.

The technology is actual a coating that protects the surface, so it isn't tied to any specific DVD format. Blu-ray and HD DVD can both use it to improve their disks, and maybe Blu-ray can get rid of the protective cartridges that it currently requires.
