TDK starts with the mass-production of Blu-Ray DVD’s

I’m very exited about this!!!
Just in case you were curious to see what you’ll have spindles of probably by this time next year, TDK’s officially started production of single and dual-layer single sided BD-Rs and BD-REs (which is just their nomenclature for “BD-RWs”). They’re apparently apt to hyping Durabis, the anti-scratch / smudge / dust coating on Blu-ray discs (even though Durabis is standard for Blu-ray media), but no word on cost per disc. Just don’t be surprised when it’s, um, a lot — you know the price we all pay for being an early adopter. Remember how much CD-Rs used to cost?

Two weeks ago the brazilian cable company NET has released 2Mb/4Mb/8Mb internet speed for a low price, while other companies are offering speed up to 1Mb for R$200 (U$83), this new service will cost 2Mb/300Kbps for R$79 (U$33), 4Mb/600Kbps for R$99 (U$41) and 8Mb/1.2Mb for R$199 (U$82). The only concern is that with this cable company will limit bandwidth, 20Gb for 2Mb, 40Gb for 4Mb and 60Gb for 8Mb. And that is not much, for those who are 24/7 downloading things on bittorrent or in other P2P softwares.
