With LightScribe, the disc is the label. This amazing technology is the no-hassle way to create elegant labels for all your CDs and DVDs. Sweet. You can get a DVD+-RW from LaCie with this technology for US$200. It looks as though media is only slightly more expensive than standard DVD-R and CD-R and once you factor in the time saving you are probably saving money. I really like this idea.

It's a hands-on review with lots more info. . .< 5:22:52 PM  >Review: Web Link Validator Broken links can become a major headache for web developers, especially if a site is rich with links. If you have a large site, have a look at Web Link Validator, a software program designed to automatically check the integrity of all links within your web site. By Lee Underwood. 0520 [Via WebReference News] . .< 5:22:33 PM >Lens five times thinner than paper developed Scientists at Canada's Universite Laval have invented a lens that is five times thinner than a piece of paper and can zoom without using mechanical parts. The lens is created by adding a small quantity of photosensitive material to a liquid crystal cell. When a weak electrical current is applied, the crystals realign differently from those in the periphery and thus take on the shape and behavior of a lens.

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.
