cool idea...now only fi they would release it to public for a very affordable price. prolly not going tro happen anytime soon. im getting sick of all these new finds like the organic cd and things. its really gettting on my nerves, realease something plausible to teh masses you idiots.
Something else interesting lately I've noticed. I like to snoop around on the DVD. Sometimes you find weird things on it, like parts of menus from other movies that the author left on there. Must have used a previous movie as a template when authoring or something. Once I even found a picture of a girl and her dog at the end of a menu file. I think they must have been testing it with different images and accidentaly left it on there. Also, a Dual layer disc can have 8.5 - 9 GB of data, but many discs only use about 4 GB for the movie and then have a bunch of trailers, etc, but leave 1.5 or more GB empty on the disc. Why not use that space and have a better bit rate on the movie. I guess that's why there's a market for those Superbit discs. Since the studios can't seem to author a disc right.
"We mere consumers can never get a hold of this kind of technology as long as the market decides what to put out (for now HD-DVD and Bluray)..."Zip disks, anyone? Not commonly used, but still avaliable on the consumer market. It'll probably be a pain in the ass to get this technology with HD-DVD and Bluray out there, but there probably will be some consumer-level implementations of this tech.

Indeed. How are you going to protect the data surface when the head needs to be 10nm away.

@ AnalystXNoted, but I still say it reads like a rebuttal :p
